I video would be nice, just saying.
Of plutooHax? I don't think that's a good idea because it would reveal the exploit game and maybe get it pulled before release.
The fact that he's releasing on a friday hints that at least an eshop version of the game is available. Fridays are desired by hackers because Nintendo doesn't work weekends and theoretically that means the eshop exploit game download window will be longer.

Fair enough. I will watch this exploit as well.

A primary exploit confirmed working on 11.0 he said? Opening up the possibilities for people just discovering A9LH then isn't it? From the little I've learnt over the past month or so the 3DS is swiss cheese when it comes to security, I can't imagine this being the last entry point ever considering how many have been found in the last few years. Seems like A Good Thing.

Very good, especially in the terms of Standalones
iirc, the only standalones have been CN, Browserhax, and Smashax, so getting another is epic

A primary exploit on 11.0 will not allow people to install a9lh. You have to downgrade for that and downgrading is patched on 11.0.

That is true, however I may have something up my sleeve that does just that. ;)
Problem is, its a secondary exploit that requires at least one other 3DS with access to CFW.

If what I'm researching is correct, then yes, it should be fine. All it requires is a second 3DS with the ability to install and run CIA files. The end result being your 11.0 3DS having a firmware downgrader CIA which runs with ARM9 privileges with signature checks bypassed. There will hopefully be a release by the end of next month. I honestly don't know when or if this will be done.

I'm not honestly worried when it will be done, since i already have one with the cake firmware, if it gets done, then is good, whenever it is. I do have a rather interesting question, you think it will require injecting the health and safety tool again?

Maybe. I don't think so though.

Just saying though, the exploit my team is working on requires being on the latest FW for reasons I cannot discuss right now. Just don't update yet. We still haven't confirmed that this work.

I'm confused. My n3DS xl is running 10.7. If this hax uses a game/app that needs to be downloaded from the eshop, then I'll need to update to 11.0 and risk ability to downgrade in order to use this exploit? (Assuming I don't have access to any other entry point)

Not a problem if...

As I have an A9LH O3DSXL it opens up the possibility I can use this to downgrade friend's consoles etc so they can have A9LH too. My console isn't going anywhere... :-D

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
