Homebrew classic-wordsploit: A Classic Word Games DS/DSi Exploit (With a CID-Dumper)

[ChampionLeake]

Hello! This was my take on exploiting the game, "Classic Word Games" for the NDS/DSi. So (OFC) this is a successful attempt to exploit the game Classic Word Games for the Nintendo DS/Nintendo DSi to execute unsigned code from the savegame.

Runs in TWL/DSi-mode if you use a retail cartridge of the game on a DSi or 3DS system. Otherwise, it runs in NTR/DS-mode regardless.
Thanks to zoogie I was able to add a CID-Dumper payload to the exploit to add on to the CID-Dumper list

Yes, I know that this game was exploited in the past, yes we have better consoles to run some cool homebrew, yes this exploit is somewhat useless. This was really for fun and to actually learn some things.

Enjoy

Nice job but I have one question is this like a dsiwarehax or this is just another exploit to get downgraded?

Another exploit to get downgraded.
"Classic Word Games" is a retail cart game, so it isn't DSiWare.

 

[Swampat]

Oh sorry I have never heard or owned that owned it so I assumed it was dsiware that was really old.

You can also use this game to use dslink to run some commercial homebrew. Though it's really not recommended
1.) You need to have a WEP connection (no WPA supprt)
2.) You need a dsi with the DWM-W015 or DWM-W024 wifi chips (Mostly found on older models of the dsi)
3.) Most homebrew apps with SD card access will not run
4.) You must do the same process all the time.

 

[Swampat]

The last one what do you mean by do the same process?

 

[ChampionLeake]

Like doing the the same set up in order to run some homebrew again. haxxstation is the replacement of dslink tbh.

 

[Swampat]

Seems like a minor thing I have exidiahax and I have to wait for the dang thing to load and sometimes crash (don't ask why, i didn't develop it) so if you are used to a short time of a process that shouldn't be a problem.

 

[ChampionLeake]

Well, the exidiahax exploit I heard is a bit unreliable. I could be wrong. AFAIK, sudokuhax is basically the best exploit for now.

 

[Swampat]

Yes, you would be correct I am trying to inject it when I have the time. I just bought the game a few years back before the dsi shop was closed and found out there was an exploit for it. Well keep up the good work something like this could get even bigger.

 

[VinsCool]

Oh damn, that's really fantastic! That will save the people without Flipnote installed.

whats the difference between this and the biggest loser?

it wont right? since you need a hardmod to dump your nand anyways

 

[Swampat]

The wep only support seems to be something that could be fixed also but this is still a work in progress as it seems.

Oh? I actually thought it would let us run code like the Flipnote exploit. Is it as limited as the Biggest Loser exploit then?

My bad if I misunderstood something, I really thought we could run anything with this

yeah seems to me its the same as the biggest loser

your talking about this right?

[ChampionLeake]

This is basically as limited as The Biggest Loser exploit. Since It's a DSi-Enhanced cartridge, it does not have SD and NAND access.
This exploit was really fun, but mostly for learning. I do have 2 other NTR-cart exploits on my github page if you're interested.

Probably in the future I'll look for dsiware titles, but I'm already working on a 3DS exploit.

Another exploit to get downgraded.
"Classic Word Games" is a retail cart game, so it isn't DSiWare.

but if its a cartrige then basicly if someone made a homebrew to bypass the wihtelisting then in theory you can run any flash cart right?

Well, if you short the card-inserted switch (the 2 pins of slot-1 coming out of the side) and supply this exploit an appropriate homebrew, yes it will be possible to use it as a swap card... but most DS cards won't like being run in DSi mode (NTR Launcher optionally uses DSi speed for DS games, but DS mode for touchscreen/mic)

Uhhh, no. This is basically exactly like a NTR exploit but a little more to limited access. So it really wouldn't work that way. Besides, the whitelist is basically in the arm7 environment and this is an exploit for cart access memory. (These NTR/TWL cart exploits are in arm9 environment as well)

You also have to think about the code itself since the space is very limited since it only acts of cart access only.

EDIT: But it would be nice to use more supportive retail carts for RocketLauncher like these in the future x)

These exploits only reply on cart access though so there's no SD or NAND access.
