Hacking Nintendo DSi hacked!

[Rock Raiyu]

If it is a firmware hack or vulnerability, the problem is, Nintendo has made it so the DSi firmware can be updated meaning that the vulnerability could be patched in a future update. This is many Yasu doesn't want to release the hack to the public because once he does, Nintendo will most likely create a fix for it.

There is the option to never upgrade the firmware, but the problem is, you would be locked out from all the online capabilities including the DSWare store, possibly the WiFi support for games (Due to WiFi now being implemented in the firmware itself instead of having each game implement their own conenction) and also Firmware updates, like with the Wii will be bundled inside DS games as well or have a certain firmware restriction so a newer firmware is needed to play which the DSi will check for.

But Nintendo already does that with the Wii..and we still found ways around it. Same goes for PSP since we can delete the update from the ISO using UMDGen, the same thing could be done the same for the Wii. But I understand what you're talking about.

Doesn't matter, DAX made all CFW OFW update proof.

Yes, I forgot to mention that too.

XD Nice. But hey, people still use UMDGen to shave off space on isos. So, it's all good.

 

[ShakeBunny]

This is cool, but isn't Nintendo supposed to have forced updates for the DSi to keep flashcarts from working? I probably wrong, but I thought it was worth asking.

 

[Pauloc7s]

Why the surprise??
We all already know... Later or sooner, DSi will be hacked.
In the most optimistic of assumptions, there will be no more flashcards.
However, it is still too early to think about a Custom Firmware.

this shit made it to engadget. taking it off the front page now wont do anything. Who would have thought it would have been hacked in like 3 days. All that time to develop secutiry And nintendo could only manage 3 god damn days of securness. And to the people who think its fake you dont know what yasu can do or has done. No way is it fake. i would say the developers are pissed but every game they already make can be pirated so what else is new. i would think at least nintendo would have made it so no matter what the DSi would not load .nds from the SD slot even if loaded with a homebrew. I guess we will find out in a few days/weeks if a video of loader running from SD surfaces .Man what a dumb move including that SD slot on nintendos part. SDHC cars are so damn cheap now and besides who doesnt have a bunch of these lying around.

But more than that, i love how people bitch when a new system comes out how "Its impossible to hack, i'll never buy it!!!1" when 5 days later, bam. Hax0r'd.

Whoever thinks that needs to get kicked, because in the pirates world, nothing is unhackable. Obviously.

IDK man, PS3 has been out for a while......

Man this just makes me more to stay with the ds lite!..i was so eager to get it!

To those who are skilled enouogh and have time, look for save game exploits. The possible tiff overflow vulnerability will be fixed in the next firmware, but save game exploits will continue to work.

That is until nintendo decides to update the firmware to check for exploit and delete the save, like they did with the TP hack. They actually could do that, with each and every game they know is being exploited. This means that those of us who know how to search for exploits do so, but don't release them, until nintendo disables the previously released exploit in next firmware update. Also remember that if a game is made by nintendo, then they have the source code to that game, and therefore figure out what was exploited more easily, and not only that, disable ALL exploit channels they known of in that game.

 

[knoxvillz]

how about making custom firmware like those used on a psp? have all of the features of the update but still be able to use homebrew and play .nds files???? so far it hasn't stopped people from playing psp games from their memory sticks even if there are frequent updates to the psp firmware.

 

[skawo96]

Lol...

He jut did it...with an SD card.

However, this is probably simple bug and Nintendo will fix it in next update.

Why do I have a feeling this WILL happen and flashcarts will die?

 

[UltraMagnus]

Now, if I was the sort of person to say I told you so......

I trusted Nintendo to make the DSi unbreakable. :/

you thought something could be made unhackable -1
you trusted nintendo after what they did to atari -1

As stated several times in this thread the PS3 has been hacked just not in your sense of 'hacked' meaning the playback of illegal backups/image files of games.

this a WEB translation by any chance???

 

[Glacius0]

This is a translation of a translation.
A Korean guy in the korean rom hacking forums translated the japanese into korean, and I'm translating the korean into english that you guys can understand

Original
DSi?HelloWorld????????????????????????????
?????????????????????????????????????
???????????????????????????????????…
CFW?????????FW????????????jk?PSP??????????

Korean
(??) DSi?? HelloWorld ??? ??. ???? ???? '?' ????. ??? ?? ?? ??? ?? ???, ??? ? ??? ?????. ??? ???? ??? ?????, ??(????) ??? ????.. ??? ???? ?????. ??? ????... CFW(??? ???) ????? ????, ???(FW)? ??? ???? ????..? PSP? ??? ???.

English
(Translated) Making HelloWorld show up on the DSi successful. It was done by "the" way that you guys were thinking. The one who ran it was a person with a DSi, not me. However, I will wait a little more until I release what I found out, because I don't support the common use of flashcarts.. First of all, I need to get the actual device. Will they still sell it... CFW(Custom firmware) would be nice, but wouldn't there be a signature on the FW(firmware)? [note from psycoblaster: by signature, read mystikekoez's post right below this.] How was the PSP done?

You forgot to translate the [???? ??? ?????] part. Also, are you sure about the meaning of [??????]? The rest checks out (for who's wondering; I'm fluent at Japanese and I'm studying Korean right now).

Thanks for that

There's already a perfect one here.
