[heartgold]

Cool, finally those doubtful people can shut the hell up, looking forward to the video.

Have a great new year people!

lol this is so fake. when you dont have a game chart the icon is like a ds game but dark with a darker icon when the sticker would be, this has the channels next ti it its a small cube also the prick blocked the bottom because its fake.

I have my DSi XL turned on and in front of me right with no cart inserted. the icon next to that exploit icon *is* the 'no cart' icon. and what's blocked on the bottom? I can see the scroll bar for scrolling the icons and that's the bottom of the screen so there's nothing being blocked. if you zoom in on the picture you make out the color difference between the lighter label area of the no cart icon and it's darker outer area. you can also make out the curve of the lower left hand corner of the icon. next icon over is pictochat.

I'll be laughing at you when the world except you gets this exploit.

Just a bit of clarification from OzModChips

@ModernJack1 I am guessing it will involve hardware. I'm sure they will if they want to make money. Fingers crossed the 3ds is the same!

Even if it will use hardware at first, some hacker will come and find another way without hardware. Remember the TP hack? Eventually, we get Bannerbomb, even though it was patched.

EDIT: I meant with some more common hardware.

the twilight hack was not hardware at all, it just required you to use a game (which is not hardware).

a better example kind of would be ps jailbreak. even though that requires some sort of hardware you can easily get the actual jailbreak for free now you just need a medium to run it on

I think he was talking about the tweezer hack, but I didn't realize that was released publicly *shrugs*

No, I was talking about the Twilight hack, my point is that you had to shell out cold hard cash for Twilight Princess, while SD cards are quite common. When the Twilight hack came out, I was planning to buy the game just for hacking. But for some reason I didn't. A few months later, Bannerbomb came out, so I used the SD card from my camera. Didn't have to buy anything extra.

There always gonna be some kinda of hardware involved. an SD card is hardware

I dont seem to see what this exploit proves can posibly allow us to play dsi ware games for free(I always wanted to play shantae dsiware)

No, I didn't buy the SD card for the purpose of hacking, but I was going to buy TP for the purpose of hacking. I can use bannerbomb with any old SD card. But before, I had to use TP, and only TP. I had no choice. Of course, now there are more choices but, I meant when the wii was first hacked. To relate to this, first, it may be restricted to only one piece of hardware, but eventually, your choices will increase, and hopefully to something you already own.

What I was saying was that it still needed hardware, albeit hardware that most people have. Your post said without hardware. Anyway, best not get in another fight or I'll get warned o.0

Ok, maybe it was a bit misleading

I edited the post.

Team Twizzers didn't make the hack use Twilight Princess so you'd have to buy something, they used it because they figured a lot of Wii owners would have it anyway. And they weren't making money out of sales of Twilight Princess, which the team behind this WILL be making money from selling whatever hardware it is needed to run this exploit. It is a completely different situation, and not a reasonable comparison if you ask me.

Actually, they used TP because they found a buffer overflow, causing a stacksmash, allowing the wii to be forced to run unsigned code, but let's just take this argument and dump it, I already corrected my post.
If they could choose, they would probably use WiiSports, but they couldn't as they couldn't find buffer overflows there.
Anyways OT
Hope I don't have to buy a new Flashcart.

They spent a long time looking in TP because many people had the game. TT themselves have stated this. They did indeed look in WiiSports first, but couldn't find anything there. Of course they choose what game to look for buffer overflows in.

If I'm not mistaken, they also "chose" that game because they found the bug in the GameCube version first, and found out that it was on the Wii one too

That's got a lot of interesting info on finding game save exploits. It's tutorials that deal with the PSP specifically, but given there's ways to get debugging output on the wii as well (with a gecko) the majority of it still applies.
