Hacking No System Updates From Nintendo In A While?

[Seriel]

Also untrue, did you even read my post? The only thing they could possibly do is a hardware revision, which I'd assume would revoke Nintendo's signature and sign everything with a new one. But they aren't going to do that so late in the consoles lifespan.

My god you are stupid.

I know what you're getting at: cutting off the head of the snake. No need to be rude >:|

Then why did you point-blank ignore what I was getting at and call it "untrue"?
I know that once we have our code running, Ninty can't do shit, I just said they can block the installation.

Misinterpretation of what you meant by blocking the installation: I didn't address the cutting off the head of the snake part.

Nintendo could also cut the cord on that as well if they wanted to.

If you really think about the whole stability thing, They are actually achieving that. Preventing the 3ds from crashing is increased stability.

I remember crashing my New 3DS while exploiting glitches in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past VC release. Fun stuff.

 

[DarthDub]

Which glitch?

The Under Underworld glitch. It's so hilariously easy to exploit.

this would require revisions to the hardware and it's kind of too late to do that. they can't stop hardmodding. nor can they really stop downgrades to 9.2 forever without a bootrom revision. and once you're on 9.2, anything is possible.

Who the hell knows how Nintendo operates or maybe they are desperate for Wii U sales they are allowing the exploit to live.

I'm wondering what the game developers companies would think about that. I think maybe they could be the most hurt in the situation. With these hacks people are allowed to play games without paying which means no profit.

Yeah piracy is definitely frowned upon but from past experiences it seems like Nintendo looks out for #1 while gladly fucking over everyone else.

Despite Ocarina of Time and Pokemon being used for hacks, Nintendo will gladly take down other 3rd party games used for hacks.

the Wii U itself hasnt had an update since January despite the kernel exploit being leaked back in May, two months later and no update.

The Wii-U is Nintendo's "red headed stepchild", the same way the Vita is to Sony. In other words, Nintendo gives no fucks about the Wii-U and does not want to waste any money to pay their Chinese tech support to update the Wii-U.

The only reason they're even releasing the new Zelda for the Wii-U is so people don't bitch on the internet and boycott the NX. I'm still kinda curious if they'll leave region lock in.


But hey, this is all speculation, as is this thread.

 

[Boogieboo6]

I bet Nintendo's laughing at us while they hack through their own console while we try to protect it.

 

[apoptygma]

But A9LH can't be kill!

eh interupts boot trust chain and doesn't afraid of anything!!

 

[Mikemk]

They probably will because it will cost an extra $5 to add extra storage for extra language files.

Wii U disks are a set size (25GB). I doubt language files would push that boundary

There's nothing weird about a 2 month gap between updates 5 years into a console's lifespan.

Just look, there's several 3-4 month gaps between updates in the 3ds's update timline: http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/231/~/system-menu-update-history

The Under Underworld glitch. It's so hilariously easy to exploit.

What about "ENGAGE RIDLEY MOTHER FUCKER"

 

[dankzegriefer]

I thought arm9loader is a hardware exploit and therefore cannot be patched. Only thing they can do now is change the design of the mobo for 3DS systems made now.

Someone feel free to jump in if I'm wrong.

You're wrong and should feel bad!
