Gaming Scanned a QR code

[8BitWalugi]

...With my iPhone.
Not sure if someone's posted this, but the result was... Interesting.

By interesting I mean I have no clue what that means. Anyone think they can try this an 'decode' it?

Lol, there you go

You mean, you've scanned a QR code containing a Mii ?
If that's the case, then what you see are the parameters of Mii (head shape, hair color, eyes distance, and everything else) encoded in binary - that is, over 8 bits.

Open an .EXE file in Notepad, it won't make any sense to you either.

8BitWalugi scans an 8Bit code. Intriguing

1st

2nd

3rd

Looks like the data for the qr codes is encrypted.
The 2nd qr is exactly the same as the 1st qr except the name is changed from a to b.
The 3rd qr has just one facial feature changed from the 1st qr. The name is the same.

In each case the dots are completely scrambled. I don't know why the N wanted to encrypt this harmless data, but they did, lol.

What would happen if you scanned 2 codes, then used 2 halves of the code to make a QR code.

Example:
CODE‘,$FØk÷(BrM|ÃÐ}“ã
°ÍËÏ“Ï™ûkÐ&‹ðmj&áØ°@:lÝiÍŸ$Ê7dH…
ÏÎ(b
oÛI£êG|8SÂG0˜h–PF2

Then you take another code and replace the 3rd line.
CODEoÛI£êG|8SÂG0˜h–PF2

I don't have another code. And what would happen if you try to scan the code Pong posted? I assume nothing, but what if you put the 'Mii' logo in the middle?

I have no form of hacking theory, I just find this interesting.

Nothing, it's the incorrect dot resolution. Nintendo qr codes are 57X57 dots, Pong's is 45X45 dots.

Also, if you observe post #6 there is strong evidence the qr data the 3DS reads is encrypted. This means that any qr code processed* from a non-3ds device will be unreadable to the 3ds.

*unless it is directly copied from a 3ds qr code, of course

I tried similar things with my QR codes and came to the same result, i believe them to be encrypted.

Even minor things such as changing the eye colour of my mii would result in a completely different QR code.

I was disappointed, i was hoping to work out how to manipulate the QR codes and try things that shouldn't normally happen (e.g there are six types of eye colour, what happens if i set the QR code to choose a seventh colour? etc. - most likely wouldn't have worked but fun to try)

By meh, nevermind. Maybe someone smarter than I will find a way to decode the codes/generate our own on our computers.

What you have to do is to compare the binary information stored in both barcodes (e.g. using a hex editor), not compare them visually.
But yeah, they might be encrypted anyway.
