Hacking 3DS Hack: "We hacked it"

[SifJar]

Hey dudes, I run the Hack Compilations thread and I'm changing it a bit this weekend. Since no one understands the basics of how the 3DS works (including me since Androids work really differently from this), if you wouldn't mind, I'd appreciate it if you could send me info about it on Twitter or even better Google Docs. I'll post it in the compilations thread so that everyone can read it at the top. I'm talking about stuff like how the boot loader works btw. Thx.

Pretty much all publicly known information is there.

I want homebrew so we can change the User Interface... I find the UI of 3DS a bit ugly.

It isnt ugly at all. Look Xbox 360 UI

Rewrote the 3DS Hack Compilation thread if anyone cares.

I care. Thanks a bunch, it looks much better now.

Actualy i heard this hack might be risky on European 3DS, reason why that person imported an US 3DS.
Will wait for anyone to confirm that definitly.

I heard you had to have the south korean version flashed with the chinese iQue 3DS firmware for it to work.

is there anything from this hacking team? wonder if jail break on iphone is more difficult than hacking 3ds for these hackers...

At least there are less persons who want to hack the 3DS.

Define harder, you really just need a flash cart plus a DS lite/ phat, or a dongle to load a save file. Actually installing it when you get the hardware will probably be pretty easy since most of the research and hard work is already done for us future hobbyists/reverse engineers/ leeches. You really should just look at the stickies for info and 3dbrew, not this thread. This thread is going downhill (farther than I thought it could).

As much as I agree to this, I always wince when I see new people register on the wiki. It usually coincides with posts like this. ]:

i think he was talking about how hard it is to crack for the actual hackers, not for the end user. the fact that the iphone 5 was hacked in about 6 months and the 3ds still hasn't been hacked in about 2 years is somewhat telling to the answer of his question. (i mean, obviously there are variables, such as how many people are working on the hack etc., but still) (and when i say hacked in this context, i mean hacked to completion with the hack being released to end users)

i don't think there is any question about if this will be easier than an iphone jailbreak for an end user (it won't be. nothing is easier than "connect usb cable, hit jailbreak button")

Some things are easier than that. For example, just plugging in a USB cable, and not hitting a button. Or browsing to a webpage on the device itself (as has happened for several iOS jailbreaks in the past).

[I am not saying this has anything to do with the 3DS, my point is simply that there are easier things ]

I heard my self fart 97 pages ago


Every body just forgot about decapping fundraiser , IF we decappe the 3DS chip we will have a flash cart in the next year or so. So why don't all of us just share some ov that $$ you save so you can save more on games.

What's their contact email? It says that you need to contact them by email.

I hope the hack set-up/UI is really un-user friendly and gets little media coverage so that potential devs can continue to make cool stuff and some Pokemon pirate kiddies can be driven off.

Ideas

• Require a shortcut key to be pressed (with no prompt), and put the key in the readme file.
  • Better yet, have the key combo be randomly-generated, and the download script modifies the readme to put the right key combo in it.
    • For bonus points, make the readme have no file extension.
  
  
• Require the self-extractor program to be run as root (write a 1-byte file to a protected directory and then delete it), and under WINE (detect some small inconsistency in the faked registry) with Windows 95 compatibility set (hardcode the check for the version).
  
  
• Have it come in two parts. The first part goes on the 3DS and runs in user-mode and it's only purpose is to write the full-on exploit files to the storage. The second part is run on a PC and is set to send the final files to the 3DS. Said final files shall be modified with info gathered from the 3DS, and the communication shall be done by inputting the right local network info (IP, subnet, default gateway), and it shall be tested by pinging google's DNS (8.8.8.8) to make sure they actually put it in right.

It doesn't matter what they do, kids will get their pokemonz if this is released publicly.
