So I have been wondering, since the whole point of that exploit is to take over the GPU to do our bidding, would it be possible to dump framebuffer and save it to SD card as a screenshot?

What would be even better is recording and streaming without a capture card but I think that's just a pipedream.

Sadly, it wouldn't be possible with spider. You can't exit the browser while whatever ROP chain/binary is running, so it wouldn't be possible to return the game to do a recording. And streaming is even more so out of the question.

Well, it does seem that the screen data is always in the exact same place in ram/vram, since the Notes and Miiverse have access to it, so it should be possible.
Yeah, maybe, but Spider only writes to the memory once and timers/button activators aren't possible, so we'll probably just get a screenshot of the browser or home menu.

Well, just being able to do it like Pokemon injection, "Home -> Camera -> Scan QR code" would be good enough for pretty much all games that don't have Miiverse screenshot possibility.
And like I said, it is somewhere in memory, which is how both Miiverse and Notes have access to both top and bottom screen of a paused, running game.

    Hm... I got suspended from reddit due to suspicious activity.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    They could specify what suspicious is.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Skelletonike, Not a huge fan of Reddit. Moderation is utter trash and people give out bad advice (well, not all the time, but you get what I'm saying). Even to a point where you get banned from a subreddit regardless of following the rules (or post deleted). :mellow:
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I never got banned from any subreddit :mellow:
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    not subreddit and not banned
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    had to replace my password, just don't see what they meant with sus activity
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I am banned from the subreddit funny though, despite never posting anything there or getting any warning

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Skelletonike, Did u check your e-mail to see whether they messaged you about the ban reason?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    nothing
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    only noticed last week when I was gonna comment on something
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Could be either your e-mail address being anonymous or temporary, or some other thing that I don't know of.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    nvm, was banned 3 years ago
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I asked why I was banned, never got a reply
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Well that was 3 years ago, shouldn't hurt to make a new account. Or just never bother.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I'm not banned from reddit, that was just from funny

    From reddit was just the suspension, changed the password and all goood

    Oh good. :)
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I've blocked all the auto-ban bots so I shouldn't be auto-banned for no reason
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't use reddit but do auto ban bots not need to be mod, which means they can see your posts regardless?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    not in other subs
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    basically they check if you're a member of other subreddits, you can be banned just for being in a sub they don't like, even though it is not against the rules
