I think it is silly for people with pandas in the scene to not try to crack 'em open. Might lead to Custom Bootroms with all the keys.

Their architecture is no different than a regular 3ds, they don't run unsigned code, they just have different keys than retail (some of which you can safely experience at home by enabling an unitinfo patch and losing compatibility with retail amiibos)

More than one reputable scene member has a Panda anyway, I've personally asked one to decrypt some devkey-signed cias, and they were happy to help. The big disadvantages are lack of updates for both system and applications (they have to be leaked too) and no a9lh as nobody has ever photographically proven the existence of Snake (Panda n3ds)...

...and while they're definitely rare, Panda consoles are "cheap" (usually around 2x the price of a new n3ds xl) and don't bring any real advantage: the big deals are of course the Partner-CTR home versions!

How much would you pay for a capture-debugger (DVI composite and USB video out, usb loading for .3ds, ram editing from PC, cia installation from PC)? :D

Well, I meant the method of obtaining one, legit and unlegit (re-sold). I know that they are the same. You would think most of us know that
:P.

And I would pay for none of those features. I'm fine with CIA files and NTR streaming.

I want to get more in to dev related 3ds things and am currently learning to program, so this is a SERIOUS question. What features does this fw bring to help devs?

I wish that we could get ALL the Dev apps.
If you're talking about dev apps like Friend Add Tool, Boss LotCheck Tool, etc. etc. they're already out there on the net. In fact, they're located in the very CTR SDK 4.2.8 that has been leaked for quite some time now. (Won't specify where that is; Google Is Your Friend™) but they're in the form of .csu files, and CSUs are the equivelent of CCIs if I remember rightly. Luckily there are already tools out there to convert CCI to CIA, so there's that...

Damn. Make sure to not use info used on here.
Better off if you don't even mention it here. I'm sure Nintendo does background research and watchs forums like this one.

Yeah, but I'm talking 11.4 SDK version.

    I would like a Predator game "Kill Team" it takes place in the Jungle of the first movie, your team is sent to hunt the predator, using current tech drones and a trained team. Set traps use strategy to hunt and trap or kill the predator.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Ill stick with my Battlefield. Yea a predator hunting game like that would be cool. Esp if you can be Arnold and say "Get to da choppa"

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I went today and looked at a motorcycle someone was selling. I get there and the battery on it was dead, so the guy grabbed a battery charger and hooked it up. He plugged it into the wall, and the motorcycle sparked and started smoking. Come to find out the bike uses a 6 volt battery and the guy had the charger set to 12v. I said sorry to the dude and walked away. I felt bad for him tho.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Sounds like it would be an exciting ride....
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure I would want something on fire between my legs
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    He ruined it basically. Sad cause it was a decent old bike. It would take more money to rewire the bike than it was worth tho.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I'm sure at minimum the starter was fried
