Homebrew What's your reason for wanting arm9/arm11 control?

[AquaX101]

To get full control of the device I paid for (and no, I don't want piracy, I import a lot each month, but I do want to backup my stuff) without being dependent on @smealum for updates and his homebrew launcher and its derivatives to run homebrew like a junkie

Oh, and eShop access with FMP because the Japanese eShop gets a lot of cool stuff.

may i ask what FMP is? Back into the 3ds scene

 

[El_Pies]

EmuNAND.

Free multi patcher. It allows for eShop access on outdated firmware, something that used to be possible with homebrew until it was abruptly fixed by Nintendo. It still works for 10.2 though.

does it allow you to regularly get into the japanese eshop or do you have to change the region of the emunand?

Well my 3DS is Japanese but it is possible to get on a foreign eShop with emuNAND if you have kernel access. Though not easily.

for piracy. but it's also nice to have something that 3ds is capable of but nintendo decided to not give us. gba and dsi "bc", screenshoots, save backup for all 3ds games.

These "arms" are not arms, but ARM kernels.
I want it because signpatch and emuNAND. But ARM11 would be still sufficient for me. It could be used to downgrade.

Oh, seriously ?
ARM9 = PXI services, signcheck, all that stuff
ARM11 = RAM usage, processes handling, services, games, etc
in a nutshell of course, I guess there's something about it on 3dbrew

sorry but I have to ask, how would you manage to downgrade without arm9 control if it's the one which handles signcheck?

 

[PandaMayFire]

1. Cheats
2. Being able to rip all of your games to digital format
Those are literally the only 2 reasons I wanted full access, and I got them, so I'm happy. Maybe stupid reasons in the end, but it's good enough for me.

 

[A_Random_Guy]

Here in Malaysia, games are pricey. Plus, the stores doesn't sell the games i wanted. and i cannot use my credit card to buy games from eShop because i set it to USA before i knew that it only accept USA credit cards. And i want to dump my games without carrying them and emulators

 

[NuikopeaDemon]

Piracy of course DUH lol

Most importantly full PSX and Gba emulation speed

Everyone that is against piracy has no doubt played emulators

Even though emulators are piracy everyone has played Roms one way or another

And also....

Even though you have the original game and you download the rom it's still piracy

But who cares!!! We love Roms and we shouldn't care if people think it's illegal

We do illegal things online like downloading a picture... Or music... Or videos

AFAIK the updates are legit cias. How else would game cart updates work? And you can install legit cias with arm11 since they are signed for every 3ds.

 

[GalladeGuy]

Uh, since when?

 

[NuikopeaDemon]

Uh, since when?

Since always just because you have the game doesn't mean anything

It's still copyrighted.

 

[Deleted User]

Well, maybe it's not piracy in a moral sense, but legally you don't own the dump you download so its technically piracy.

 

[NuikopeaDemon]

It's a common thing people do these days who cares and I

Might as well delete all my GBA, SNES, GB, GBC, NES, MAME, SEGA GENESIS, SMS, GAME GEAR Games because it's illegal lol

That's over 5000+ games hahaha
I know I will never ever own every game so who cares. It's not like the police will show up at my do........

*knocks on door*
Opens the door
*See's the police*

Runs away

because if you give update pack with lower version, it will be ignored?

 

[Nyannurs]

anyone who says "to run my legitly acquired backups from my real carts" is retarded. newsflash buddy, dumping your cart and having them installed on your console is already against nintendo's agreement. where's your morality now!?!!?!?

OT: for piracy obviously, which i already have.

 

[phalk]

I want for pirate stuff.

The way I see it is that if you buy a game, than you should be able to use its data any way you want as long as you dont release it to the public.
