Hacking Possible first 3DS homebrew or fake?

[SykoLogic]

100% fake I just tried to load a picture of my 3DS with Hello world on it and it works so or they have to show the bottom screen but for now 100% fake

Did the 3D light come on? Cuz in the photo the 3D light is off

 

[Shabutie78]

we'd need to see the bottom screen to know for sure.
but they're most likely just viewing pictures with the 3DS.

Also I noticed the 3D slider isn't off it's in the middle so that's another way of proving it

I can't think of how you'd get a 3DS to display "Hello, world!" like that with the 3D light not lit. If it was DS mode homebrew the text couldn't be right at the edge like that because of the black vertical bars.

I thought you could make DS game stretch to fit the screen?

By default they are as tall as the screen, but not as wide since the 3DS is widescreen and the DS was not.

The Hello World screen could've been a faked jpeg, but there's no explanation for the ???????'s. That entry has a blank icon as well.

If this is a fake, it's very well done.

I was just about to say that if it was faked they did a fine ass job I doubt it's fake

having an entry in the system log would mean that it's a title that got loaded directly and not being an expolit based on a current channel/game.

That alone makes it a fake, we are still far from being able to do that.
We still don't have ANY 3DS code, the 3DS card communication is still not reversed, DSi homebrew via cards is not possible after YEARS, but now we have that after a few weeks by some random guys?
SUURE!

Also think about how real exploits are always shown via something else than a single image which doesn't even show all screens?

Yes, but you always have to check out the doubts. The DSi wasn't hacked for years because hackers feared that Nintendo would learn from their mistakes, and fix it when the 3DS came out. That's why an exploit came out in January this year. (It's already patched up, though.)

It may be incredible for someone to suddenly have access to 3DS code, but they may just be that talented. There's no proof for or against this claim.

As for the single image point, it is very sketchy indeed, however, it raises some questions:

- How did they get the "Hello World" screen to cover the entire 3DS screen? If it was with a photo viewer, how did they get the 3D Mode light to not come up, and the switch is clearly not all the way down?
- Where did they get that game ID from, and how did they manage to get the DS to read it?

You can see from your own attempts, there is ALWAYS a '3D' logo in the corner and the '3D' light is ALWAYS on in the photo viewer.

Thanks for, uh, proving my point further?

Parental controls = 3d light off

just an edited picture, loaded using your friendly neighborhood flashcarts...

FAKE..

Yeah, that's it! But what's with the Activity-Picture... Photoshop?

Screen resolution.

Righto. My point is now invalid.

There's still the game ID explanation that still stands, though.

 

[Keva]

Pretty sure the activity log is just photoshoped.

A good job of image editing can fake the game ID, but that's not nearly as easy to do as the HelloWorld screen. (like where can you find a non off-screen image?)

I noticed one possible flaw in that Activity log screen: the icons have a slightly irregular vertical spacing from the tab borders. Look closely and you can see it.

Thanks for that one!
There's now a valid explanation for how both images could be faked, so until any evidence of their validity is presented I'm going to consider them fake.

I can't even find that log screen on my 3ds, nevermind an editable one on the net. Is that what it really looks like?

Yes, exactly.

Someone must have put a lot of time and effort into making this a fake, if it is even PROVEN to be one. It might be real, like with Yasu's case of cracking the DSi within 3 days of its Japanese release.
