Hi guys. You might of heard of me trying to decode the NAND so we can use backups for each others 3DS or have a central edited NAND (Custom NAND- won't have any Nintendo code so I may upload it here) and you can load it to your 3DS via SD. Right now (will keep thread updated with new stuff) my weird things and know almost every files extension. I am trying to decode the files by applying my xorpad, but Xortools isn't being cooperative now. If you have any suggestions or would like to help, just give me a shout :)

Possible downgrade of the console with firmware> 9.2 ?! without backup ?!
Yes.
and through what exploits are you going to get this to run? Most was patched 9.3 onwards hence no gw/ninjax support.
Unless its for people with nandmods.
The hardware mod where you can put downgrades on your system. But instead of backup, it will be the Custom NAND or a shared NAND.

I just find this pointless because if the user has a NANDmod (or a hardmod as you called it), they could just flash a backup of an exploitable firmware.
Now, im expecting a reply along the lines of 'for those without a backup'
If you dont have a backup, why would they get a mod int he first place?;-;

What is it that you need?

Also, what exactly are your goals with this project? As in... Could you put up a list?

What's your current progress like.

You have a very simplistic view of the 3DS's security or you're just trolling. I hope you're trolling.

If one buys a console with firmware 9.2 and greater want homebrew and gateway could do the downgrade of the terminal

It's always nice to have some more knowledge over the 3DS. Maybe some day it'll be useful to someone, or it's just fun to explore.
For decrypting files with a xorpad, you should use this.
Now, remember to not to post something people might not find useful (or when you're not a "recognized dev") without results, or suffer the wrath of a thousand posts.

Funny i was just thinking about this the other day.

For those who were unfortunate to update but know of this stuff (3ds hacking, nand, etc), one person in particular i know could benefit from this.

Care to tell how I can compile and make this?

I could also. My original 3DS was already at 9.4 when I got more into this stuff. I had to buy a 2DS on 7.2 to run Ninjhax.

    The snack that smiles back, Ballsack!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
