Homebrew DSi Homebrew Channel (IDEA)

[desumodnoc]

I just checked on bLAStY's IRC, and they're (apparently) working on cracking the DSiWare encryption, though they're not getting very far.

neither are we...

 

[desumodnoc]

Then we should probably try and find our own way to crack it, you never know we might get some kind of break through before they do. Then we'd be famous. Mwuhahahaha!

Desu, what you could do is start coding the actual channel then wait for an exploit to come out. Of course you would have no way to test it unless you made a DSi emulator specifically to test it.

One problem, we don't know HOW the DSi reads the DSiWare... yet.

sorry for the double post...

 

[DeltaBurnt]

So...what we could do is study how it reads DSiWare, while they take care of making it read home made DSi Channels and homebrew.

What's that supposed to mean? I doubt the DSi would just suddenly brick for trying to play a game that doesn't match your DSi.

The goal stated in this thread is to install your own content. If you install unsigned garbage into a system directory, you'll brick.

 

[darkriku2000]

Wow, I can't wait to see how this develops

btw, I'd love to be a beta tester, thought I can't program (I'm learning, but I don't think I could see your level if I had a times 1,000,000 telescope) However I can do GFX stuff (making logos and menus and all that stuff) so I could help with that

Hmm...I suppose. But that's what beta testers are for >

 

[desumodnoc]

Well, along with the DSi Homebrew Channel installing homebrew DSiWare, we would also like it to be sort of like a free AK2i. (PLay DS ROMs and GBA ROMs)

 

[ShamusHand]

Of course. But exploit first, build later.

 

[desumodnoc]

Yes, yes...

 

[ball2012003]

i hope all goes well with this and that we soon see this being released
(typing this on my dsi)

 

[ShamusHand]

Uhh... Yeah, apparently we're not going anywhere with this...

 

[DeltaBurnt]

Well the only thing I've seen about the FIFA exploit was that video on youtube which was made months ago.

 

[stinkoman]

I can test, as I'm getting a DSi in the next few days.

Does anyone involved in this even have experience of hacking/cracking? There's alot more involved in what you're trying to do then just hex editing files. You're going to need some serious electronics knowledge.

Yeah, we seem to have about 5 pages of beta testers and 3, maybe 4 coders, and we don't know if any of them are any good (no offense)... We need people willing to do stuff instead of people looking for an early release.



(also I'm a beta tester... But I am learning to code, so cut me some slack. And I've been doing a lot of research on technical stuff... but nothing will help in this stage. Or probably ever.)

Being able to code doesn't equal being able to crack/hack though, and no offense but someone who's just learning to code definitely won't be able to do something like this. Do you actually know how a hardware/software exploit works? Have you studied up on how exploits were found on other consoles/software?

 

[swimmeringer]

Yeah I know. Like I said I'm just beginning on everything, but I plan on studying it all. But I don't know why I keep posting in this thread; I'm pretty useless right now.

 

[TrolleyDave]

It's not just aimed at you mate, it just seems reading through this that the people involved think they're going to manage to find an exploit through simple hex viewing/editing of files. You'll need low level knowledge of how the DSi works to pull off the exploit. Coding the channel I can believe some people here with some programming knowledge could do, but from what I can see nobody actually has a clue when it comes to finding exploits.

If you've got a Wii study up on bushings material and see if you can recreate some of his stuff. If you've got an xbox 1 then read up on how the softmod exploits were found and see if you can recreate that yourself. Otherwise it's like the blind leading the blind using pitbull terriers if you see what I mean.

Trolley makes a good point..

Why dnt u help out Trolley...im just askn

 

[shortperson1026]

I don't think an exploit will come until DSi-Only games are available... but prove me wrong.
