Hacking [SPECULATION] SSSpwn allows kernel access?

[williamcesar2]

kernel access is awesome, (it allows region free, better emulators, betters apps) <- this is very important for homebrew scene
but someone else going to say: ''but it allows rom loader'', f***** up that idiot argument !

It's clear that SSSpawn uses a kernel exploit.
https://github.com/smealum/3ds_hb_menu/blob/master/source/hb.c
hb:HB has kernel access. So if you modified it, you can get kernel access.

I have no knowledge of how the 3ds works, but I hope you are right.

I don't really give 2 shits about rom loaders. All I care about is activating the region unlock so I can relax and play my import games.

not trying to be a dick here but if you're willing to spend the money on importing games, maybe you should import a 3ds from that region as well instead of relying on people to hack the 3ds so you can play games you bought

just my $0.02

So much confirmation bias

When the developer of the exploit says it isn't a kernel exploit, everyone disregards him. This developer has actually released things he has made, not just leaked stuff from others. Many other community members repeatedly post that it is not a kernel exploit, but again they are disregarded.

And then you have someone with a 2 post count say "Guys it is confirmed kernel exploit it uses a service" and everyone will latch on to this information like it is prophecy. Yes, we all want custom firmware and what-not, but speculation and a 10-page thread are not the way to get there. If you don't want to wait for smealum to release source (if he ever does, it would be nice), then just RE it. Relys looks like he is making good progress.

(disregard me, I have 6 posts)

You don't know what you are saying /facepalm.

"It's just a vulnerability in a game to access a vulnerability in the system firmware. All they'd really need to do is patch the firmware and then the game doesn't even matter."

also you cant just remove the region lock with just the userland like he claims. If so devs could chose if they want a region lock or not, which they cant.

False.
Devs can, if they wish, remove region locking.

Look at 3DS Guide: Louvre. It's the ONLY game that's REGION FREE (Nintendo said so herself).

If I'm being ignorant here, nevermind me and carry on.

cool

He's right, but who cares what st4rk says? Amirite??

he's not, sorry.

just because the developer limits access to what the end user can do, doesnt mean its not capable of doing other things

sorry kernel access only allows rom loader lol

St4rK is a Buck

?

there is no kernel access, though.

while this is true, you can backup imported games and remove region lock when converting to a .cia so it kind of is like having region unlock

 

[Kunoha]

Meh, someone wake me up when there are news about unlocking region lock with that kernel access.

 

[luigi90210]

there is kernel access though.

fixed

 

[Bond697]

fixed

you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. there is not.

 

[st4rk]

Anyway, just for curious, if it have *Kernel Acess* what you will do, guys ? ROM-Loader ? Okay, but you have idea how do it ? you know anything about REing, ARM etc ?

Hum... I might be blind, but I don't see anything in this particular source that suggests so.
