Hacking Sky3DS & 9.7.0-25?

[Deleted-19228]

They have only three manufacturers "authorized" (it's a proprietary format).
They could say : if it's not the speed of manufacturer A or if it's not the speed of manufacturer B or if it's not the speed of manufacturer C, it's a Sky3DS.
Even better, it's written in the cartridge which manufacturer made it!
So, they could simply say : if it's not the speed of <manufacturer of the cart>, it's a Sky3DS.

Yes, because gauging read speeds on a cart is a GREAT way to see if it's a fake card /s

Nintendo already did that in the past and it worked.
However :
-as there wasn't an OS on the DS, it was the game which performs the check ;
-as the games weren't signed, we could patch them.

That's been on there for as long as I can remember and has so far been the only site that actually said that.

LMAO if they could they would have done it with this update. don't be delusional. The whole gateway vs sky3ds is getting old. In the end sky3ds is still in the longrun when gateway isn't. Maybe in the near future gateway will get updated and sky3ds blocked but i don't see that all happening very soon because if it would you would see signs of it already and Nintendo would already blocked it if they could.

I'll just leave this here:

Because you think that Sky3DS speed is the exact same than a legit cartridge?

it probably doesn't emulate retail cards exactly but uses retail card info to do the emulation. that's the only reason why I see Nintendo not being able to block it as it would block real games in the process. if Nintendo could block it they would have by now, theyre usually quick about these things but instead they've had to resort to public headers.

Uh... take note that Powersaves is already blocking it, sort of. They can get most of the games blocked except for Pokemon ORASXY. Even then it doesn't fully work. So it's do-able.

Figure out why Datel can't block Pokemon and you know why Nintendo can't block it either. Of course, doing so would mean you also know how to find a bypass for it... and then we can use Powersaves on Sky3DS.

Sky3DS has the opposite effect of Gateway. Gateway finds holes to go through. Sky3DS hides behind them.

has anyone tried modding a real cart? if the real cart is indistinguishable from the modded one...hmmm

 

[rakichaneru]

The Sky3DS is not a new thing. If Nintendo could block it, they would have blocked it already.

wasn't crown3ds built around that idea ? and failed at doing so ?

 

[Miles54321]

proof for that?

It's kinda tied to Illuminati but i'll try my best

Sky3ds is ultra easy to block, literally 1 line of code, Nintendo have not blocked it because they want loads of people to buy that card then stop using it, it's basically a future paperweight in the making
The fact that is sells for much higher than Gateway is also a bit of a giveaway, Sky therefore offer limited deals because if they offered too much they feel they'd lose a lot of customers to buy retail games

do you even read what you just said ? Sure we @ Nintendo are deliberately losing millions letting you play all the free games you want for years and years to come to just bring out an update so that you have to buy a 60, 80 dollar cartridge again ! It was worth it losing all those millions Next you're gonna say nobody ever landed on the moon, it was all a hoax. I do hope you were being sarcastic

It's not because cartridges, just like any other storage medium, deteriorate over time and vary from one another in terms of R/W speeds. Even if Nintendo did implement that sort of Anti-Piracy protection, nothing is stopping pirates from simply matching that R/W speed with their fututre cartridges. All in all, it's a wasted effort and a flimsy way to determine whether or not the cartridge inserted is a flashcart when there are easier ways to go about it that are more accurate.

Nintendo made Sky 3ds tbh so I'm not suprised they ain't blocked it yet ¬_¬

I hope you're kidding..?

Then go work for Nintendo and block it. Or tell me how you know it's "1 line of code"

Of course Iam, why would Nintendo make sky...but then again, its all still a rumor after all
