Almost All Flash Kits Blocked Permanently

[Another World]

Don't forget the dsi, dsi xl, and 3ds systems running 4.3.0-10.

This fact put DS Lite on top of my list again. But if it is really a huge flashcard killer, they will release a DSi update soon.

And they're gone, like a flash (kit) in the pan...

please stop this gahars

Nintendo have done a great job on the whole 3ds security, this why I think the 3ds will never be hacked.

Dont get fooled by the fact that dstwo is still alive. This kind of update affect all the "scene" in a direct or indirect way.

Just sayin'

Fix'd.

I don't understand.
I was demanding, not "sayin'".

Ah fuck.....well atleast I still have my DS Lite.

Though I might be buying an Supercard DSTWO soon. Still, cant believe Nintendo finally managed to do it....also, when it says "xxxxr4" does that mean like R4i Gold?

So right now that would be JUST the 3DS systems? DSi hasn't updated in quite some time to my knowledge.

I'm a little confused as to what makes the DSTwo and R4i Gold capable of circumventing this block that other flashcarts apparently cannot, like the Acekard 2i.

Is AK2i blocked (?) 3ds one

Yeah.. Remember when Sony was going on about how great their security for the PS3 was, and it ended up to be a total fail? Everything is hackable, it's just a matter of time.

It's blatantly obvious that the encryption keys for newer firmware versions of the PS3 have been obtained, but the methods and the keys aren't being leaked for obvious reasons.. If you don't know, it's because Sony is sue happy, and a lot of people just don't want to bother with the financial issues that will be brought upon them from being sued.

If you really want the honest truth, from a software standpoint, the 360 is a hell of a lot more secure than the PS3; and no, the firmware flashing for the DVD drive doesn't count as it only allows you to play burnt discs, and not boot unsigned code. Although, the SMC hack that's known as JTAG for the 360 is more of a software hack than anything, but it only works on some seriously old versions of the 360 kernel. RGH is the reset glitch hack, and basically, it resets the CPU causing it to run in a glitched state that allows unsigned code to be booted, so RGH is more of a hardware oriented exploit.

The 3DS will be hacked, it's hacking scene is in it's infancy though, and there's only a few people who are seriously working on it and doing the research that will serve as the groundwork for further developments for the console in the future. The "better" the security on a device is, the more people it'll eventually attract to hack it, because it'll serve as a good challenge and a great learning experience. You obviously lack any knowledge of the time and research that goes into hacking a console, so keep your mouth shut about topics that you're ignorant about.

O RLY NOW? DSi Update? Right. Highly doubtful.

 

[loco365]

Well damn. Looks like I'll be upgrading soon.

I don't understand what they mean by IC. Integrated Chip? What do they mean by have Save IC and without save IC, and the burning of the FPGA board?

While I don't understand, I could understand why the SC DS2 isn't blocked. With it's own built in CPU, the moment you give it power it starts working. You don't need the DS to access the code on there manually. Turn the system on, card gets power, and starts workin on it's own. That means as soon as the 3DS powers up and starts reading the card, the DS2 is getting power and starting up on it's own. In those milliseconds, the 3DS is pinging and reading the responses from the card. All other cards can't fake the responses, and that's how they would be blocked. However, the DS2's CPU would receive those signals, and with it's own bios, it would be programmed to respond in a timely fashon and with the proper 'challenge responses' to trick the 3DS. The CPU gives the DS2 a hardware method of near 0-day bypassing.

Anyways, can I please be told what they meant by the IC and the burning of the FPGA board? Did the 3DS manage to find a way to overload the flashcarts, making them useless on every system?

 

[MelodieOctavia]

Damn, and I was JUST about to sell my DStwo in favor of an Acekard.

I hardly ever use my 3DS for DS roms anymore, so I doubt I would have cared if I did sell it anyway.

It's not just blocked, but if you put your Acekard 2i in your 3DS, the card will burst into flames! True story, test and everything!

Confirmed, I tried this with my brother's Acekard and now he's mad at me

Where are the Chinese/Japanese speakers who have time, and don't mind translating the Supercard Team's post in proper English?
