It HAS NOT been cracked. Whether or not it will in the future is another question. Now why would they put it on? Who knows?' :\

There are some release groups that dumped 3ds games. They tested it on their own hardware and it worked but there is still no way to play it as a normal user.
Why shouldn't they release them?

Why shouldn't they release them?

- Prevents noobs from asking how to play them on a DS mode flashcart.
- Gives a slightly better chance at cracking them, because when Nintendo knows the groups can dump the games, they can make it harder to play them.
- Prevents noobs from asking how to play them on a DS mode flashcart.
- If (relatively) no one can play the dumps, they only take up space on a person's computer.

Also, did I mention that not releasing the dumps (or info that it's been done) would prevent noobs from asking how to play them on a DS mode flashcart?

I think that the Release groups aren't interested in our "problems".

I think that Nintendo can dump it's own games. I don't think that they've corrected the api.

Look at the fist point

You mustn't download them.

Yes, you did.

Without roms, you can't release a rom loader when the 3DS is hacked, right?

Thanks for the replies guys. I thought it was a little too good to be true.

ROMs aren't just for piracy. They're for archival, too.

I find it funny that while some people work until their hands bleed to preserve video games, others sit around thinking the only use for ROMs is downloading free games.
