Homebrew SigHax Updates and Discussion Thread

[Platinum Lucario]

Any progress is good progress! I hope they end up leaking the bootrom or someone is able to replicate their results. I am actually slightly shocked it's taking so long. Not complaining, I just remember A9LH was like 3 days after the first announcement.

Yeah, I'm sure the bootrom will eventually be dumped.

Also, let's not forget that SigHax requires a lot of time and effort into trying to glitch the bootrom, in order to do so, the timing of glitching needs to be just about right. A lot of research has to be done into looking to how the SoC runs and how it can be altered somehow to glitch it so it runs a different code. The longest part probably will be doing the bruteforcing of the bootrom keys for their RSA signatures, which that would possibly take up to a 5 days or a week at the most.

I caught it toward the end.

When I first came to the stream today, I was surprised that it was live. I honestly thought I was going to miss the stream, but it seems like I entered it around 3/4 of the time before the stream ended.

I saw you on there when I started watching.

Their stream is linked in the OP

 

[zoogie]

They keep referencing derrrek in that chat but I don't see his name, is he going by another nick?
nvm, it's kernxploit

I'll be suprised & happy for Nintendo if and when a9lh gets patched for the New 2DS XL. Not good for hackers obviously, but I would be happy for Nintendo. xD

I'm curious to see what kind of revision they did if any at all. I half expect them not to patch any of the hardware flaws.

It would be extremely unlikely though. Nintendo isn't known for thinking ahead and more known for thinking cheap. It would cost more money to add new hardware than it would to just change one chip. The one chip is whatever part is used to tell the OFW "This is a new2DS and not a new3DS, don't softlock!"

I honestly think the N2DS is just going to be a re-packaged N3DS with 3D disabled.

I can't think of anyone who would want one by this time in the 3ds's lifetime.

I keep saying it, but Nintendo is cheap. They already have the boards for the new3DS, they aren't going to make a new board for it. Nintendo most likely changed a few chips so the system knows to not do the 3D check and that's about it.

Now you know one person who wants a 3DSXL without the 3D. I've never liked the 3D (it makes me sick (car sick) in about 5 minutes). No game requires 3D and every game looks beautiful in 2D. The only time I enabled 3D was in one level of Super Mario 3D Land, where I didn't want to wait for the floating platforms to move all the way to see which was on top.

N2DSXL is exactly what I want.

This guy, or gal, gets it!!! Ninty is the cheapest console company and has demonstrated this year after year.

Tis a girl mein friend.
Still, I am just applying the same logic they did with the 2DS. Just keep using the hardware they have and calling it a day.

1. Collectors
2. People like OrGoN3 here. The 2DS itself - at least in my opinion doesn't look very aesthetically appealing but the N2DS does and can play N3DS games like Xenoblade

Easy way to get rid of the last of your N3DS stock, just market it as something new.

LOL! Thanks. I guess I'm the only one who wanted this. Now, let me rephrase: I would've preferred a N2DSXL that has the same body and layout as my current N3DSXL. Moving speakers, buttons, etc, I'm not a fan.

I figured due to your avatar, but didn't want to assume!

I'm actually thinking of grabbing one myself, even though it's a completely worthless product. It'll probably end up being my "tinker with" model for the n3ds lineup, or at least it will once a kernel exploit is found within 11.4
