I'm curious if brickware was ever spread for the 3ds. I know the switch had the lgpe brickware that went around and tx has their copy protection. Did the 3DS ever have this issue? If so is there a way to scan for it?
Hacking Was brickware ever spread?

no. this was never a issue. We have ntrboot to recover from almost any brick anyways. So there is very little to be worried about
People like to spread the rumor that gateway bricked random consoles, but in reality it did not. These people are uninformed and like to jump to conclusions. It only bricked consoles who used a clone card, NEVER an actual gateway card user was bricked simply by using it how it's intended.
Making brickware for the 3DS is relatively easy from what I heard, but luckily no one with enough knowlede of how to make it has ever tried afaik.
EDIT: Just saw the person above me thinking exactly how I said. The reason Gateway is not brickware is because everyone is fully aware it did contain code to brick consoles and everyone knew exactly how and how not to trigger it. If you know exactly the cause for the bricks and the solution, it really isn't brickware. Plus that's not it's sole intended purpose

There were people who claimed to get bricked with official gateway carts
Now I have always kind of wondered if those people were being truthful, but we will never know
Gateway 3DS. There, that's two words. Too late now since they deleted my posted and ruined the context above despite it being 100% on topic.

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

@
Veho:
But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
