probably suggested but :
since every 3DS signs with its own unique code all of the sd's encrypted contents should appear differently when compared

but if you find files or parts of files that are identical on 2 consoles then maybe you could study the file and change parts to cause a loading of custom files ?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but like you said, the files are signed for that specific system's use.
They are exactly so if you can find 2 files that are the same on different systems doesn't that mean its probably not encrypted?

mehhh im just sad that there won't be emulation. now dont get me wrong, i always buy the games and get roms after i buy them, but i like emulation because there is so much more you can do with a game on pc. :)

the files might both be for nintendo video (for example), however the system puts a 'lock' on the file so only that one system can open it with the 'key'. Two files might have the same content but be locked each for a different system's use.

The hardware in your system is uniquely identifiable, it uses that

the 1's and 0's of the file would have to be different for the file to know which unique hardware to run on
therefore when compared the files should come up as different

so if you can find files that are EXACTLY the same on 2 different 3DS consoles

i think its much more likely that we can edit that file and exploit it rather then an obviously encrypted one

IF you can find files that are EXACTLY the same....I doubt that'll ever happen in the near future. Nintendo ain't dumb@$$es

Im not sure how the swap note thing sends its messages (never use my 3DS anymore)
but i was wondering if you could send a message to 1 3DS and somehow intercept the wireless packets sent across then send the same message to another 3DS
compare the packets to find if their encrypted or not or if their encrypted differently and try sending a different message to another 3DS sniff those packets compare the differences
and possible exploit???

Im doing what this thread is about suggesting crazy 3DS hacking theories
its a shame Nintendo thought of them first

even if we find a exploit there is still the encryption problem

If you want to play a rom you need the encryption keys and it's inverse

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
