Just not in this case. Or any case, for that matter.

Neimod just posted this:

3DS-PC communication link

Used an FPGA to 'enhance' the savechip as a communication link.
This is with an unmodified 3DS, no hardware modifications except for the gamecard that exposes the SPI savechip pins.

PC host communication program

PC program that waits for incoming data from the 3DS.
This is with an unmodified 3DS, no hardware modifications except for the gamecard that exposes the SPI savechip pins.

AWESHUM QUALITY

my bets are that it uses gamecard pins 3 and 6

I wonder if this is a shot back at yellows8's "we hacked it" pic.
But I'll assume they're collaborating instead of competing most likely.

they do run 3dbrew togather

Neimod is an admin of 3dbrew, and yellows8 is just a user (if you look at their profiles).

So how close is Neimod hacking the 3ds? What do these pictures mean? I know that Hello World in this case means you can show that you can write a program on the 3DS.

Apparently they can input stuff on the 3DS (ie. run something). What they can actually do with the current hack is not really public. Apparently the image control is beyond them (don't have the info to access the image layers), but it doesn't mean that they couldn't do it. As the 3DS is new tech in this regard, I'd presume only a few people know what can and cannot be done with this.

As for a normal user usable exploit, I'd say this is far from it. As there is no way to magically get stuff to work with this exploit without a proper coding library (eg. libnds) et al, there is not much to go with. As more info is found with the exploit and the inner works of the 3DS hardware/software, more will be made possible. Until then, it's just wait and see.

Dat pink 3DS. Probably his backup or "compatability check" one.

Nintendo is probably following this forum, and is already creating a FW update So in a way forums/sites like this reporting hacks is a double sword!

Nintendo will only know as much about the hack as we do, which is "not much" at the moment.
