Hacking The 3DS needs CUSTOM FIRMWARE!

[Habstinat]

Custom Firmware is the answer to Nintendo's ability to brick a 3DS if you put a flashcart in it. Do you think it's possible?

if nintendo makes updates via pc avaible(like the psp) YES

That's not at all the case. Anything that can be downloaded to a 3DS (eg, firmware updates) can be downloaded to a PC, and anything uploaded to a 3DS (eg, firmware updates) can be uploaded to a 3DS from a PC. Whether the 3DS will accept or apply these files is another story, but that problem is the same with consoles like the PSP.

the answer is this
intercept the file and edit it
later, intercept the file and replace it
it should install the replaced one

Heheh, if only it were that easy

The 3DS would only accept updates signed with a key. We don't have this key, but Nintendo does, therefore we can't do much as far as editing firmwares go. The PSP/PS3 are interesting exeptions - Developers were able to find the key due to an error in the generation of it. I'd give it a very low chance that Nintendo would make the same mistake Sony did, though.

but if nintendo doesnt expect the fw to be edited b/c of the updates being wireless, it would take and update to enable that
if we dont update and instead get a cfw, we wont have to worry

 

[Stevetry]

your get a 3ds custom firmware after we get the dsi one XD

 

[_Chaz_]

Even if the updates are via Wi-Fi, I'm thinking the method used with sending Pokemon to retail carts could be used to send CFW to the 3DS as well. The method may have to be modified a bit for the situation, but I don't see why it wouldn't be possible.

 

[bigpaws]

yea
you get that firmware then we talk

as for the dsi
there was no intrest
im sure if there was reson, there would have been cfw

There's a lego game coming out March 27th. I'd love it if an exploit came out that fast

YAY! what team will work on this? failoverflow has enough with sony..so who?

the answer is this
intercept the file and edit it
later, intercept the file and replace it
it should install the replaced one

What about keys to sign the firmware, are you going to pull them out of your ass ?

Priceless!

Guys, keep this discussion going, it's awesome.

On-topic: Besides butter I like CFW on my bread...

The 3DS needs TO BE RELEASED! And then it has TO BE HACKED! Which is not going to happen FOR A LONG TIME!

Inb4everyoneSaysItsReleased: I know it's released in Japan.

HA HA that was really funny! It would have been even better if you hadn't said anything!

Hey, at least she didn't say she could edit the packets being downloaded to the 3ds with an overly-complicated system of tubes.
