Hacking Crown3ds flashcard - Hacking your 3DS and playing 3DS games

[CollosalPokemon]

I don't see how this video proves anything. As mentioned above, it could just be inside of a splinter cell cartridge to begin with. If it is just being like the old school flashcards where you just copied a game over (no interface or anything), it would have been a lot more believable to show it being copied.

Plus, I also find it hard to believe this first cart come from a group nobody has ever heard of...

edit typos, my s key sticks

I agree the lack of some sort of menu kinda shuts me down on the idea.
Then again I'm not very experienced on making flashcarts.

maybe the menu is the last thing thats done.

If I remember correctly, the very first GBA flash carts worked similar to this. (1 ROM storage with no menu but reflashable) I'm not saying this is real or not, but I think if this is real its better than having a hacked menu because:

1) With booting from the home menu theoretically we get SpotPass content. (since booting from the menu puts spotpass content in our games)

2) Also by not having a hacked menu we don't have to wait for an exploit that might not have WiFi / even worse yet: maybe not other features (such as Cooking Coach/Classic Word Games).

I'm scared to see the price if it is real though.

Again, I'm not saying it's real or not, but it seems like it is because they have that motherboard and pinouts connecting to a cartridge and seemingly booting a commercial ROM so I'd rather be optimistic, but not overly optimistic.



EDIT:

The reason why there's no "Hello World" is because 3DS ROMs need to be signed to run from the home menu like that and we don't know how to sign 3DS ROMs. Although that would be possible if we find an exploit (running unsigned code) but if it's not signed I'm pretty sure the home menu will not load it directly.

maybe this video is from early developments

Maybe. But I'm not believing anything until there is verification by a reputable source such as a gbatemp review or OzModChips. Even then, it wouldn't be a good idea to just rush out and get the first one, look what happened with the ps3 jailbreaks. They got better and dropped in price over 100$ within weeks. Then sony killed the whole thing.

EDIT: @CollosalPokemon - it's up for "preorder" for 99$

Also, another thing I don't get - if all there doing is "cloning" a cartridge, why do not all games work according to them? I would think if you can dump one cartridge, you should be able to dump any cartridge if your just using a 1:1 copy. There is presumably not any unique AP on any of the cartridges yet.

And a third thing.... if this is real and uses the old school cloning method, it would be region locked (since there not altering game data). Have you seen a US game dump lately? The supposed lubduria ones are European, I believe. So, I don't know what you would be playing on it... (at the moment, anyways)

It would be rather weird if such a thing existed and GBAtemp didn't know about it until release.

In other words, I doubt it.

How do you say it, "The proof is in the pudding" or in this case the video...I hope it has a similar option to DS Flash Carts so that we can choose the games we can from a list and not one game at a time!

 

[Valwin]

i hope is true 3Ds homebrew anyone ?

 

[someonewhodied]

Its on shoptemp.
I'll wait for proof from members here before ordering though.

 

[deathking]

ohhh nooo imagine babiez , poneyz and 1000 other shovel ware games just got announce LOL
i so hope this is real
i hope they show multiple games working on it

 

[chris888222]

Damn, here comes the shovelware.

I really hope it isn't true.

 

[Ericthegreat]

You guys need to shut up, it has already been proven the shovelware is coming, look at the ubisoft lineup lol, this is awesome.

 

[DiscostewSM]

I think it's more about shovelware from other companies, as Ubisoft has been shoveling for quite some time.

Now I'm not sure if it to wait for the revised 3DS!

 

[Ericthegreat]

I feel the shovelware would come anyway.... Only a small number of people hack really, and even then many of the people who pirate prob wouldn't have bought the game unless it was something big like mario, zelda, metroid, ect, and so many others buy those games the small percentage of people who pirate them really doesn't matter in the end, at least that is my opinion not based on fact or anything.

 

[chris888222]

I won't really count it as legit.

Even if it were legit, I wonder what Ninty will do...

Spoiler: remember what THQ said:

3DS has sophisticated anti-piracy... Soooooooo sophisticated.

 

[Ericthegreat]

Maybe it does, wasn't the original ds hacked already?

 

[CollosalPokemon]

Apparently Oz3DS had 100 pre orders for this flash cart available, all of which had tracking available.

Now it looks like they already got 100 pre orders for this device in just like 2-3 hours of it being shown here lol

I hope it only gets released slowly though. If too many people get it so soon (if it's even real) we'll be looking at "Imagine: Babies 3D" shovelware all over the place.

 

[synce]

Yeah because people in Asia and Eastern Europe pirating games that otherwise cost a month's salary and would never actually buy has a direct effect on what gets released!

The only thing this means for those of us living in first world countries is we get to carry around all our games instead of just one, we can cheat, and we won't be tied to a single region. All positives

Those 100 people are screwed if this is just a big scam. Maybe that was the point all along, they just made an easy $9000.

While I can agree with your ending portion. Please, not all of Asia is horrible. Mind you, Japan is also in Asia.

 

[Thesolcity]

This is horse shit right? RIGHT? I have a sinking feeling in my stomach, as this is advertised for piracy not homebrew...

Agreed on above. ^ Surprisingly one of the countries in Asia that does pirate a lot are Koreans. O_O

 

[Ericthegreat]

Really? That is strange since they get some games 2 years after everyone else....
