http://3dbrew.org/wiki/Title_metadata has some stuff but it appears to be a mix of RSA and SHA1 hashing as a base for some signatures (not sure what) and word is some AES is used elsewhere. If the other nintendo handhelds ( http://dsibrew.org/wiki/Main_Page , http://nocash.emubase.de/gbatek.htm#dscartridgesencryptionfirmware ) and recent consoles ( http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii_Security ) are anything to go by (and what data is available points to Nintendo not doing a ground up rewrite/redesign) though the rest can be a somewhat varied mix of stuff.

3DS Titles (Retail & 3DSWare) (not DS/DSi/DSiWare) are encrypted with AES-CTR (sometimes just xorpads)
The data then hashed with various Hash algorithms (SHA-512, SHA-256, SHA-1, HMAC-SHA-1, HMAC-SHA-256) and signed with RSA-2048 or RSA-4096.

This doesn't help us a bit with "hacking".

    Some CRTs are very much worth the price
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.
