Hacking Freezing the 3DS' Menu

[Kiaku]

While my BlazBlue was saving, I ejected it, and while the 3DS was restarting to the home screen, I kept slotting the game in then back out, and now the 3DS icon is blank, and the top screen doesn't show anything no matter what I highlight, and when I moved the 3DS icon somewhere else, it froze, but the music's still on. Had to force power off.​

Then I froze it again, but this time I can't navigate anymore. Probably cause the timing's different. Just a small glitch, if you want to try it out.​

No.
For an exploit, you have to be able to inject code. Pushing a game card in and out will not inject code.

If it was it wouldn't matter because the 3DS reads encrypted code that only it understands.

Sorry to be a downer.

However, all hope is not lost. Good scene folks like Neimod are hard at work finding a hardware hack that will allow us to research into and eventually crack the system. Take a peep at this RAM dumper he has recently made, for example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/neimod/
