Introducing NINJHAX - A Nintendo 3DS Homebrew Exploit!

[Ryukouki]

It might just be one hell of a coincidence then because something came up in google search results for me that really turned my head

Probably just a coincidence then. I could show Ryukouki if he wants......

Heh, you are more than welcome to. Others have tried and failed. If you want to show me, I won't confirm or deny your suspicions. And lol, even the staff here is completely in the dark, and will continue to be in the dark. So good luck coaxing a response out of me...

It's about ethics in game journalism

Does homebrew mode have access to the SD card/FAT32?

 

[Deboog]

Question. Has Smea figured out how to get sound working in Homebrew?

I'm only asking because the devs behind the 4.5 emulators that are out right now haven't.

Obviously, yes.

 

[thenotoriousrod]

yes that's why it's so good

yes that's why it's so good

Thanks for clearing that up! I wonder will some homebrew emerge that will allow you to downgrade your firmware should it ever become necessary? And I'm amazed that some of the homebrew is in 3D. I've been waiting so long for this lol

oh god why, that pic

Ah that finally opens gates of hell...*COUGH*
I mean the gates of time-to-convert-the-projects-and-develop-them-futher...
It's a great news, finally new homebrew on new device will be made
Marked the calendar for the first time in no time

 

[ChrisRX]

Obviously, yes.

Can I ask why "obviously"? I know that in the past DS cards had the ability to load homebrew roms from microSD but accessing external files via DLDI was not added until later. What I'm talking about is the ability to access files outside of the .3DS homebrew rom like we were able to with DLDI.

I assumed it was because the exploit is loaded off the SD card; how else would you get the figurative "boot.elf" to run?

 

[Foxchild]

Does anyone know if one copy of the game will be sufficient for multiple 3ds's? We have several in our household, so, once the homebrew channel is installed, will it be accessible with the cart removed or does the game have to be accessed each time you use the exploit?

 

[ChrisRX]

Obviously, yes.

That is the part that I'm interested with. Say that you have an mp3 player homebrew .elf file (just as an example), is there already access to read the mp3 files directly from the SD card when running the .elf file

Well considering the actual elf is running from the SD card, you must be able to have access to the SD card, so yes, you would be able to play the mp3.

I found the answer to my own question. CtruLib includes SD card access under "services/fs.h" using functions such as FSUSER_OpenFile()

[air2004]

my nieces 3ds is still on the original firmware which is like 1.0 something , will this exploit work on that ?

Cant wait too get me a New 3DS Xl on Friday and test this out on Saturday

roms are roms even if they are "hacked".

Who cares laughs evilly even if there not supported hackers will eventually find a way to support them
