The hype train has officially left the station people!

And how do you prevent Nintendo Engineers from downloading hack themselves and run it through their tools to see what it does ?

They have all keys and access they want, know how, engineers and so on.

I don't mean release the hack but keep the explanation secret, I meant not release it at all. If you don't release it, Nintendo can't download it.

 

[motezazer]

My bad, as Mathieulh said, you can't even use the keys.
You must use NTRhax for that.

 

[perkel]

snshax is easy to implement, i'm doing it right now

Awesome.

Any nebulous ETA ?

The exploits were already released. So it's going to be patched.

I said it in relation to quote i answered to (as to not release officially exploit know how).

Even if you won't release know how, it is obvious that Nintendo Engineers have probably whole stack of diagnostic software that can precisely pin point how exploit works and patch it quickly.

Only way to have permanent CFW is to find something in firmware that can't be updated or changed because it will brake compatibility with older games.

firmlaunchhax was actually an arm9 kernel exploit that was used on 9.2 and lower that was patched on 9.5

So memchunkhax2 combined with this would give full access on 9.3-9.4?

Yes, it should.

But then you can't do anything it with it as if it wouldn't exist (aside from few people). When something will be released using that exploit Ninty engineers will find that exploit no matter how you hide it (due to their know how, diagnostic software etc).

Yes but anyone can make a commit https://github.com/roxas75/rxTools
this is getting off topic

And just like that my hopes and dreams have been crushed, guess im staying on 9.2 with 9.5 Emunand thanks for the info.

why not whit 10.3 emunand?

You mean these?

 

[marksteele]

That's not complicated.
When the flaw is exploited, the N3DS keys are loaded, but the 0x11 key used to generate them was cleared, so you can't generate the keys again. You can only use them (write-only keyslots).

so in newb terms this means no 9.5+ emunand on the N3DS?

@motezazer Think NTRhax can be done with a Raspberry Pi?

 

[JustPingo]

No, there isn't, you only gain code execution AFTER the Kernel9 loader runs, this means you can't read the OTP and keyslot 0x11 gets cleared, not to mention you would be replacing the NAND key #2 used to decrypt the new Kernel9 with garbage anyway (since that's required for this hack to work in the first place) good luck decrypting 9.6+ kernel9 this way...

Isn't the workaround the point of that part of the talk?

I think that it would be better doing it with a DSTwo/DSTwo+.

Does the Rapsberry Pi 2 has the right connectors?
If you mean a Raspberry Pi with a Pass Me, I think so.

ayyy maybe now that card can be used for something for once.

That won't work, it must be when the console read the banner.

The Raspberry Pi still has to be fast enough, though.

DSTwo+ can be used for GBA and DS(i) roms/homebrews you know.

Nah man, this would be much better!

Then I wonder how they did the GW emulation plugin ^^
I think that with a firmware update that should work.
