Hey everyone,
I was wandering what the current status of hacking is for the 3DS? I read around and found that you'll need some kind of flash card to be able to hack the 3DS, but what is it for? Since at the current stage games can't be cracked and downloaded then are there some other things that can be done from hacking the 3DS? Will games ever be hacked for the 3DS like for the Wii?
Thanks.

As of now, nothing is possible yet. The devs are on it tho and they are now strugling with removing the silicon layer from the RAM and NAND chips. It will be hacked in time. Just not yet.

Enough already! Their is plenty of threads about this. We will never know in forhand how well the 3DS will be hacked or if it even will be hacked.

The current status is 3DS mode unhacked, DS mode hacked.

When you can not pay for your games anymore, there will be a news post in the front page, until then just wait.

Ok thanks. I read another article saying Nintendo has this anti-hack policy where they will inject your 3DS with a "system update" that bricks your device the moment you connect to wifi, if your system is found to contain "manipulated files". They are making this unavoidable since their system automatically grabs data from your device the moment wifi is connected, and that "system update" is done without user consent. Did anyone hear about this, seems pretty scary. :wtf:

I lol'd.
You know you could have answered my question in the amount of time you took to type up your very useless post? Not everyone is as acknowledged as you in 3DS hacking, o Great Hacker.
/facepalm at these people who think they know everything and feels great assaulting newcomers.

He never said he knew anything about 3DS hacking. Seriously though, it's in the rules:

+1.
A little searching around wouldn't hurt and people are already pissed at how many make topics that ask if the 3DS has been hacked. In due time, we will know, maybe if Ninty doesn't do a good job at its security.

Basically, you can play DS games and homebrew with flashcarts and they run in DS mode. Nothing that's new to 3DS is unlocked yet.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
