Nintendo 3DS source code leaked

3ds.png

Two in a row today!

The item of interest, barely four hours after the last major drop, consists of partial source code for the Nintendo 3DS family updated as of October 2014:

  • Source code for the 3DS bootroms and kernels, including modules (drivers) for 3DS mode.
  • Precompiled DSi and GBA bootroms (the latter being the NDS variant).
  • Source code for most developer titles, including many not directly released to licensed developers.

The above list is the result of a cursory analysis: it may contain inaccuracies. However, notably, it does not contain any regular system application or applet, meaning the inevitable question about what this means for the 300 icon limit can already be answered.


ctr.7z - SHA1: 67026A413E08577B9F174168A7F02A8751571E87 - info-hash: 6efb571ce3eec59dfa6d6627da6581292a3e6a57

Previously in this series: Generation 4, Generation 3, New-2DS factory software, 3DS internal use Pokemon ROMs, iQue Player, and Wii kernels, Generation 2, and Generation 1.

Click "Generation 4" at the bottom of the article ;)

Would be an interesting effort, however note that this isn't the 11.13 source code, it dates to probably more than half of the total number of useless updates ago! :D

Fun stuff (I hope I'm not breaking the rules):
most of the documentation is in Japanese (duh)
there is something called "Nintendo Serendipitous Archive (NSA) " , so yes they were joking about the various surveillance agencies during development;
the dsi probably supports NTRboot, and the combination should be "closed lid (or magnet) +X+START+SELECT"
i should probably do my own research, but if someone knows where the dsi bootroms are located it would be nice to compare them to the available dumps

    Reputable friends of mine have informed me of a fourth release for today, called ctr-etc. I am in the progress of verifying it and will update this post later!

    ----

    ctr-etc.7z (SHA1: 59304A1A23A6FC16D76C0F41F278E0764D138939)
    stupidly contains ctr.tar (SHA1: C8BCC8F9217224C383B724BD4B285811CA3EDCBB)
    which contains a stupid mix of files:
    • Wii IOS55 (retail and developer) source, apparently including some keys for arcade Wii derivatives
    • 3DS security documentation by BroadOn
    • Very early 3DS SDKs and associated files from the 2000s (note that the 3DS project dates back to 2006 and this material is fundamentally incompatible with the system we have all heard of)
    • DSi cryptography libraries
    Interestingly the date on these files (2018-4-16) may be indicative of the original intrusion into Nintendo servers.

    How did those Z-move bracelets communicate with Sun and Moon? I'm sure it wasn't bluetooth built into the cart since it worked with digital copies as well. Did you have to be connected via wifi? I was under the impression that you didn't need to be online to make use of the rumble functionality.

    They worked by sound.

    Your Talking about TheCruel who got sentenced for 20 yrs. RyanRocks/ Hernandez is only known for editing a cia file for people wanting to hack their 3ds that was still being tested for bricks that would let him traffic all information and gather it off your system.
    And now the CP stuff.

    I don't think he's ever been beneficial in gbatemp just a nuisance.

    Edit: they both are known for cp so understandable to get them confused.. It's not a good image nintendo hackers. Must be the lewd Splatoons xD

    Was more of a joke, since looking at this would make it illegal to distribute as far as I know.

    Serves them right. They where dicks in the past and still are.

    No, that was Cruel. He's referring to RyanRocks. Unfortunately pedophilia has been a running theme in the Nintendo scene.

    I'm glad somebody said it. This is what many were hoping for out of the other previous leaks. Emulator developers stride to not be illegal, and quite honestly, using stolen sources would really impact the spirit of emulation.

    No but it can help to understand the system better.

    I fail to see the correlation. With that logic, we're all pedophiles. I think it's more coincidence and the fact that the internet has become so much more vast than it was 10 years ago. RyanRocks was also a 17 year old, and it's more likely that he had nudes of some 15 year old because kids are idiots. Cruel was a true blue pedophile, and actively hosted CP on a server he ran.

    Oh definitely. This is better than reverse engineering and can absolutely be built upon.

    But it said he had over 1000 images/ vids of CP Sure when I was 15 chicks sent me pics of themselves, but that's too much for a player to have. He was script writer who stole info from others. So that folder was data from individuals without acknowledgement. At the age of 17 you can be charged as an adult. I don't think the Judge would toss the book at you for having a couple nudes of your girlfriend.

    • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
      I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
    • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
      Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
    • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
      @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
    • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
      I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
    • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
      @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
    • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
      I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
    • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
      I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
    • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
      I appreciate the insight!
    • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
      @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
    • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
      and realistically they wouldn't

      be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
