Homebrew Who else wants to see a revival of Swapnote?

You're not insulting me, that's just horrible analogy.
Most web applications don't run on "OS level", they either run on top of a VM (although optimized) or interpreted. Also node.js is fast, as it was built with concurrency in mind. When it comes to SQL databases, it's not as straightforward as PHP, but it is faster. And you cant really compare when it comes to databases with JSON as the query method. Also node.js uses less resources compared to PHP.

Sure you can use it as a server base. But its only really effectiv for websockets and more webbased applications.
Wouldn't recommend it for a project like that.

Yes i definatly want it back. I'm actually still a bit pissed off at Nintendo for discontinuing it. Back then I made some awesome Japanese friends on AC:NL & they sent me notes to help me learn Japanese & also cards we didn't have in my region.

I miss swapnote. It was fun sending my gaming friends drawings and messages on the 3ds. Lots of good memories.

I've still got the letterbox app on my 3ds. Shame it can't be used

Soooo whos gonna step up and make the first real move? Anybody want to take a crack at getting this ball rolling? Really want to see this come to fruition and not just become another gbatemp thread full of great ideas that never happened. I would start it myself if i felt qualified but I just made my first hello world for 3ds literally last night. I would be glad to help however.

It would be glorious if this ever happens! It would make me actually REINSTALL Swapnote! ... Yes, I uninstalled it. It was a total waste of space. Deal With It.

If there was a way to patch out HTTPS in the 3DS itself so we can read the network traffic.

Well, homebrew will only get better in time.

What about Wireshark?

I don't know if this'll go anywhere but I could probably host a server or two.

In fact, I think there was a 3dshacks Reddit post on how to get the DS one up and running again

There's a JP game that has it built in. You need a flashcart. You could also probably run firmware.nds.

Hmm, I think it was easier than that... All you had to do was install the CIA and a couple of other things... And this was before 3DeSume

Running a DS game/firmware.nds is pretty easy, though. And also before 3DeSume. If you find it, let me know.

Can this not be done? Is the SSL certificate used the same one as is used for 3DS updates and eShop?

http://3dbrew.org/wiki/ClCertA

Edit: Nevermind. That apparently only allows us to send requests, not read responses.
Still, is there no way to replace the certificate used or something?
@yifan_lu any info on this specifically?

 

[Deleted User]

there is but it's so much easier if we could add something that ignores cert's validity via an option in Luma

Even if it wasnt https, the Service is down. To reverse engineer the packets would be a massiv amount of work. Since you can't just send msg or recv. them to sniff the packets.
