Hardware 3DS Update coming...

[Devin]

But as soon as your internet connection (or in the case of the PokeWalker, the infrared connection) is cut, there's no more access.
If Nintendo could somehow reverse engineer a flashcart's bootstrapper (which should contain info as to how the microSD is accessed) and block that method, there goes a hardware series.

Internal Memory in Flashcarts?

Isn't that what NinjaPass did, sorta?

I was thinking more of like the Acekard RPG, with it's built in NAND memory.

Nintendo could be just like Sory we're remove back-words compatibility with our next update. This feature contains a security risk.

Unix isn't linux, but forgetting that, RAW is a filesystem."RAW" refers to the lack of a filesystem.
RAW = Unformatted.
Unformatted = no filesystem has been written.

Formatting is writing the filesystem in the first place. "Reformatting" is re-writing the filesystem. The File Allocation Table is in the filesystem, and this is why reformatting erases data even on a quick format (and why quick formats can be recovered from, since the data is still there, just the pointers to it in the FAT are gone).

I strongly doubt that.

So cache is on your RAM?
How inconvenient. every time I turn off my computer, my cache of websites is gone.

I'm tired of this now.
Can we just agree that they could check for FAT32 or FAT16 or similar filesystems?

RAW is a filesystem.
http://www.google.ie/search?q=raw#hl=en&am...745c7c2cb140e82Just like the "system idle process" on the task manager measures what's NOT being used... windows labels a segment RAW to note THE LACK OF A FILESYTEM. "RAW" is to note that the section IS partitioned off (so it's not "unallocated space"), but there's no usable filesystem. On the other hand, a partition that's formatted with a filesystem that is intact but windows does not recognize is listed as "unknown partition".

My linux-swap partition is an example. Notice how it's listed as "healthy".
Raw != Unallocated != Unknown.

You need to do more research on how partitions and filesystems work before you try to call me out on something like this.

Again, disabling caching is an old idea (dynamic pages can tell the sever software, such as apache, to send headers to control/reset caching), thus this page being old and mentioning netscape (which died years ago).

As another example of browsers not caching normally (or having it disabled), there's Lynx.
http://lynx.isc.org/lynx2.8.5/lynx2-8-5/ly...sers_guide.html

When viewing HTML documents it is possible to retrieve and display the unrendered (i.e., the original HTML) source of the document by pressing the '\' (backslash) key. Lynx usually caches only the rendering of the document and doesn't keep the source (unless it is configured to do so in the lynx.cfg file), so to display the source unrendered, Lynx must reload it from the server or disk.

This is in contrast to normal browsers, which keep the source (so that client-side content such as javascript can execute again, Lynx does not support these so it's not an issue for it).

No. And if you'd actually read my posts here (not just the ones directed at you) you'd see why.

I've already explained this shit, and I'm not going to repeat myself again.

Well most of the post was in Engrish.

I know how they work.

You then said no, and that RAW can be accessed like a filesystem under unix.
I then said RAW is a filesystem since it can be read and written to, and the terminology used to describe it by others treats it as a filesystem.

Netscape is the basis of firefox iirc.
Cache being on or not isn't the issue.
All I said was that data needs to be read and written from a filesystem by the browser.
You referenced the OSI model.

Personally I hope the Supercard crack isn't released until after May when the update is released, but it is kept secret. That way they fly under the radar until Nintendo's Internet stalkers find them. THEN they need help.

On a side note, I bet one of those aforementioned stalkers have like an entire Favourites folder full of the homepages of all the flashcart companies. It's just a theory, but if true, then my first point about it being secret is negated... and Nintendo will know exactly when to release their next update. If that WAS the case, then maybe they don't have stalkers, because otherwise they wouldn't have random stabs in the dark with their update releases. But it's still a theory all the same, try not to bite my head off for it.

I then said RAW is a filesystem since it can be read and written to, and the terminology used to describe it by others treats it as a filesystem.Your definition of filesystem is wholly incorrect, then. It's like calling anything you can put a penis into a "woman". Yes, you can write to a filesystem (and put your penis in a woman), but it doesn't mean that all reading/writing is done with a filesystem.

The concept of "sockets" is one such alternative where you can read and write in a network without a filesystem being involved.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_socket
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/...net/Socket.html

A more broad example off the internet would be piping data streams between processes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipeline_(Unix)
Again the Unix standard is a reference because unlike most ordinary things with Windows, with Unix and it's tools you're often exposed to the stuff below that you normally deal with.

Netscape is the basis of firefox iirc.
Cache being on or not isn't the issue.You said that it HAS to be written to the filesystem. This is false as it's possible to load and display pages without writing them to the filesystem first (or at all).

If you'd read the OSI model you'd notice that none of the layers contain the concept of a filesystem because it's about streaming and handling network data, NOT storage of file data.
