This is a Video of the dsbricker on DSi. someone asked for it. www.youtube.com/watch?gl=DE&hl=de&client=mv-google&v=ZfPc1pihNpo
 
Team Twiizers used a pair of Tweezers to get codes to bypass the rsa secure thing.
Wow that is so vague. The tweezers did not magically "get codes". Heck, they didn't even get "codes" - they got the common key.

What actually happened was this: Modchips for the Wii allowed running homebrew in GC mode. But GC mode could only access certain parts of the memory of the Wii. So Team Twiizers got a pair of tweezes and physically bridged the memory in the Wii, essentially short circuiting some of the accessible parts so that the Wii was fooled into allowing access to the other parts instead. Then they used a GC homebrew to dump various parts of memory slowly by using this technique repeated many times. Eventually this let them map out the full (or fairly full) Wii memory, in the state it was in just before the switch to GC mode, meaning the common key was still in memory. From there they were able to decrypt all Wii software e.g. IOS, which led to the discovery of Trucha Bug and the rest, as they say, is history.

Something tells me that shorting something on the 3DS would just destroy it.
