Hacking Gateway 3DS working on the New Nintendo 3DS.

[gamesquest1]

lol why do you feel lonely now ? but really are you regretting getting the standard size N3DS ?

i actually really like the look of the standard....but the price difference wasnt enough for me to buy the smaller one without feeling a bit ripped off ....i want the snes buttons and faceplates

What I can't believe is that they used Super NES buttons on a new handheld, and didn't call it the Super 3DS.

I just can't get my head around it.

(The standard 3DS's colour buttons are beautiful by the way. I hope I can get them modded into my XL eventually)

as for me i went for the smaller one not because of the buttons on the face plates although i will buy face plates but because the smaller screens should have better 3D effects (i hope).

118 pages... and counting...

Then again, this is GBAtemp. Seen worse during pokeflood seasons. XD

Yup. It'd also go with, as you said, the necessity to metion that this update runs NATIVELY on 9.x. If it's native to 9.x, I'm pretty darn sure the loophole exists within this specific firmware only.

This would also fly by past the Blue Card as you mentioned.

It isn't all me though, I've been in private conversations with KidIce about this subject and he should be having some speculation-trophy too


Really now? Hmm.. That's interesting.

Im gonna try and pinpoint what files are added through the SD Card when theme data is first being written out of boredom. Will report results if anyone wants, nothing really all that interesting though.

I'm guess Super is too 90's to be used nowadays. Even though that'd make MUCH more sense than "New".

Would have been a nice throwback, though!

Yes, Gateway has given confirmation that the exploit doesn't work on 8.X or lower so it's safe to assume something that was introduced in 9.0 is being exploited. Themes or screenshots? Perhaps an exploit similar to the TIFF exploit that was employed on the PSP?

I've made most of my own icons for the dock, have a little OCD lol, just have to sort transmission out.

fun you say that mech, i don't know how to turn it off, so i just cleared my settings? Theres no switch on these...

When you are at the main screen, press the top left box/button and scroll down to wireless and hit off

yeah i'm hoping either the original buttons will fit the XL.(not sure if the button sizes differ though)....or at least there is some third party ones made that are of good quality

in all fairness all gateway have said is that their exploit will work for 9.0-9.2, maybe thats all they want to support so they dont have to make a whole bunch of version every time it comes to update time.

On the old 3DS Systems the 3DSXL 3D effect was actually better than on the normal 3DS because of the bigger screen. The resolution on the normal 3DS may be better because of a smaller screen.

I wonder if the Gatewway team posts on here... without us knowing its them

 

[Deleted-355425]

I'm going to get hated for this but I've been spoilt by the OLED vita screen so either the 3DS or XL isn't really an issue.

Whoa. You may REALLY be onto something there. I remember ChickHEN but I never thought about it so much as to include it in this case. It might be perhapds the same thing!

Possibly something to do with a screenshot or the act of doing a screenshot, holding both buttons.. I dunno.. Something! Maybe taking a screenshot would let the launcher.dat execute something?

nah i have to say playing on a standard 3ds looks a lot nicer than the XL colour's and 3d look much nicer on the original 3d and the 3d was less troublesome with getting the "sweet spot"....im just guessing they will of improved the main issue with the new XL with the head tracking....and have to presume the colour's will be better like the original 3DS

It seems everybody has an XL except me

Regular N3DS feels sleeker and fits my pocket well.

Heres some file trees I've generated.
I ran the Tree command in the "Nintendo 3DS" folder on my SD card three times. Of those three times files changed only in the first two.

Nintendo 3DS Folder Tree 1.txt - This is the control. This tree was generated with nothing related to themes on the SD card.
Nintendo 3DS Folder Tree 2.txt - This is the tree after the theme menu was launched for the first time. (Files and directories were added.)
Nintendo 3DS Folder Tree 3.txt - This is the tree after the red theme was selected, nothing has changed via adding or changing files.

Theres not much interesting things here, but if you want you can see what minor things have changed or been added.

i disagree, tighter resolution means better 3D i have both 3DS & 3DS XL & when i turn 3D on on both of them i can clearly see which one has the better 3D effects & it's without a shadow of doubt the standard 3Ds is the winner when it comes to 3D & better speakers too.

everything else the 3DS XL wins.

how? :\ i think that the program the system call to take screenshot have nothing to do with sd card, only saving image in it. theme have data saved, so is much more plausible imo (but i can be pretty wrong eh )

 

[Arithmatics]

oh, good point! I've just tested it too and you are right. And from the hand and finger position where s/he was holding the N3DS it is possible ^^
dang it, so maybe no exploit through Mii Maker ^^"

Why are we all arguing about the character in the video's gender? it's CLEARLY a woman.
