Homebrew Smealum, Creator of Portal DS/Aperture Science, has hacked the 3DS

Then what's the point of posting this? Just keep this to yourself and don't stir up useless threads.

Every video game (system) announcement ever would like to say "sup, we did it first".

Would you rather if the exploit was out in the open so that it can be patched within a pictosecond?

The average user has no way of utilizing it in a creative fashion, there's no reason to post it without any organized library structure around. The users who are supposed to know about it clearly know about it.

well to be real it probably already is patched, it probably only works on 4.5 like gateway ,yellows8 and the lightenup hack

I'd rather know that people are actively working to hack the 3DS, even if they don't release their work right away. I'd rather know that, let's say, Comex jailbroke iOS 7 but Cydia doesn't work - what if he released the exploit and root access without Cydia? 99.999% of people wouldn't care; let them finish what they're doing.

What do you expect? These things take time. It's not like someone has a homebrew channel all coded and ready to go and all they need is an exploit.

What fw do you think its on?

I don't know which firmware the exploit is on, however once DSCraft and PortalDS are ported this will be unstoppable.

I keep hearing people say this but no one provides a reference, yes the exploit doesn't work just by itself running it on a firmware higher than 4.5, but who's to say this wasn't just due to a memory offset inadvertently changing since as far as I'm aware, the ds profile crash is still possible in current firmware? Therefore nothing to prevent them from making gateway work on 6.1 for example, they could modify the exploit on their card to not work with 4.1-4.5 and to work with 6.1 instead.

If he is so good at computers, why can't he take a non-blurry photo?

When has the word computer ever been equivalent to photography?

If it was a screencap it would have been easy to Photoshop the text (Heck even use freaking MS Paint)

Yeah, and then have everyone and their mother comment that it's fake. Great idea.

Prob real, very nice.

 

[Snailface]

He said on IRC he's not releasing (shocking news), so don't get your hopes up for this.

 

[sanin6]

What's the point of posting the topic if it isn't going to be released
I mean It might be news to some but really doesn't do any good besides
Teasing other peers I could be wrong tho..

 

[zfreeman]

He said in his blog that he was trying to find different ways to run unsigned code by using bugs in DS games. The other game that he had been using was FIFA Street 2.

It was probably taken with another 3DS

 

[Jayro]

I'm hopeful and thankful for the chance of a 3DS hack coming soon, but I'm growing really tired of these "hackers" who hack a system, and never release other work, just to be a dick. Its one thing to find an exploit and keep it hush hush until its ready, but its another thing to tease with proof, and never release the hack. Yes, I'm singling you out, fail0verflow.
