Introducing NINJHAX - A Nintendo 3DS Homebrew Exploit!

[ut2k4master]

I've already ordered three possible titles- I don't exactly mind owning more games anyway.

what if its not even one of those?

cause you to vomit uncontrollably after 15 minutes of use

Is that a thing? Virtual boy is a little before my time, but that sounds pretty bad- like cloverfeild status

If this ever gets tweaked to possibly enable region free then i was thinking, do you guys think it would be possible to say buy a import 3ds game and people create a translation patch to make the game english and run the patch through a sd card kind of like how the wii does using a original import disc?

Then i'll have spent some money on video games. the horror.

EDIT: i'm new here and somehow replied to the wrong thing. I don't know how to fix it sorry.

That's something like Riivolution, which he said isn't possible. However he said region-free could be developed but not by him.

It would require lots of crazyness...
Better idea would be patching the game file and then run in some way, not do it on-the-fly.

I'm exaggerating a bit, but I did own a Virtual Boy and it was bad. I couldn't stand to play over half an hour. Some of the games were pretty fun though.

It for sure took some time for me to get used to the 3DS screen, but it never was bad enough to get me to stop playing. But I agree with the comment down this thread a bit, would be a great emulator for the 3DS. I'm very excited to get some serious use out of my little purple playmate.

And soon, we'll be flooded with outlandish requests for hombrew apps. OOH! You know what we need? How about an app that lets you use the 3DS as a TV remote using the IR? Or maybe a skype client? Or perhaps some 3DS Chat Roulette? Think of the possibilities

IR Services

Only one session(two sessions starting with 8.0.0-18) to any of these services can be open at a time, thus only one/two process(es) can use any of these services at once. These services interface with hardware services gpio::IR and i2c::IR. The i2c::IR service is used for sending/receiving data.
IRU is for regular IR comms. IRUSER uses a custom IR protocol(above the physical layer). Both of these services use IrDA-SIR. The IR hardware seems to only support IrDA-SIR, other physical protocols such as the one for TV-remotes are not supported(going by the datasheet linked here for a different IC at least).

Good to know. Though for the record, I was being slightly sarcastic in my app suggestions, though they would be dandy, and I'm sure someone else may have eventually asked for the same things. Though I do have to wonder how feasible something like a person to person vid or voice chat application would be.

 

[ineverwipe]

That is all

 

[Kiiro_Yakumo]

Even if not by IrDA, then by Wi-Fi for "smart" TVs through Local Area Network is 99% possible

 

[amoulton]

inb4 Verizon Fios TV for 3DS

 

[clemull]

game name release in a few hours, yay

 

[Kiiro_Yakumo]

Ahahahaha good one xD
I like that, that's probably what's happening now in the base xD

Keep refreshing that twitter page,bros

So Smea is going to release the name of the game days before releasing the exploit. Has he lost his mind? So what happens between that time when Nintendo rolls out an update just to stop the exploit from working? I'd really like to know what his plan is for that? How does he plan on prolonging his little exploit for more than a day?

 

[Sparks43]

Dead or Alive: Dimensions

This is my guess for the game and im sticking to it

And i dont bloody own it...............

Yet

it doesnt matter, he knows that it will be blocked immediately anyway

 

[slowmotioning]

spongebob plankton game imo

So then...Why bother?

I think that if you want an exploit, you should disable updates once you're on the version that's supported. You can turn Wifi off, or delete your wifi settings. If he releases the name of the game before the nature of the exploit is revealed, it could give a certain window for people to acquire the software before a patch is made.
