Those are no tools. Smealum uses the 3ds internal aes unit.

Yes, decrypting ROM's can be useful for finding exploits in games, yes, it can lead to ROM hacking, provided you can encrypt the images back, and no, it's unlikely that anyone will make use of the decrypted images for ROM loaders etc.
But could lead to emulators on PC right?
He did.
It was meant to be a joke that it might have been funnier if he posted the triforce picture instead of a single triangle. But... that one went over your head it seems.
can this open the door to fan translations? because that would be great
What's the problem with Phoenix Wright? All PW games that were released in Europe were also released in the US and vice versa as far as I know. (except Miles Edgeworth 2 which is not a 3DS game)This would definitely be of interest to a lot of people, even if just for the whole Phoenix Wright US/EU farce.
The problem is that that recent-ish 3DS one didn't get a physical game-card release over in English speaking countries IIRC, only a download one. Which means that you can't add it to your physical game collection, or make a simple backup of the ROM for use on your flashcart; so that if you ever lose your 3DS, you've lost your copy of the game, and your save.What's the problem with Phoenix Wright?

But with encrypted rom images we can never have emulation in the future, right? If so then it's good news for emulation enthusiasts and preservationNo. It will contribute a little to that at best.
well really if the mehod to decrypt is figured out without using the 3ds's built in decrypter....a future emulator could deal with encrypted romsBut with encrypted rom images we can never have emulation in the future, right? If so then it's good news for emulation enthusiasts and preservation
Clearly it's a woman's bikini crotchThat, right there, people, is a sexy triangle.

The idea is that you leave your physical copy at home on your game shelf, taking pride of place, and simply carry around your flashcart containing copies of all of your games. You get the convenience of having all your games with you, without them all being stolen if the console is stolen.What's the difference if you lose your 3DS with a physical cart inside, if anyone even manages to lose their 3DS they got to be able to lose a lot more than that
oh but of course noone cares about my AMAZING TRIANGLES
The era of games on physical media is coming to a close, it is more profitable for publishers to just put the software online. Kiddies these days have no trouble buying games on iOS devices, so the model has been proven. Us older gamers have a hard time adjusting to the new ways, we want our games on physical media. I have hundreds of games that will always be playable on compatible hardware, you couldn't ever do that with downloadable software incorporating DRM.
I know I don't! But seriously, I hope that thanks to ROM decryption we'll see some cracktros. I'm such a cracktro whore. Figuratively, not literally ... Unless it's a REALLY good cracktro. I know it's all about clean dumps these days, and modified releases get nuked, but I can't wait to see something from Venom, or whoever still bothers to code cracktros nowadays.
