Hacking Will Nintendo Block EmuNAND again? N3DS

[intensje]

they won't probably. n3ds is safe for rest of life

Umm, that's exactly how they got the keys: by downgrading a New 3DS to Old 3DS firmware 1.0. It's glitchy as hell when you do that, but it works well enough to dump the magical "OTP". I did it with 2.1 back in November 2015.

Interesting that you were able to drop all the way back to 1.0...it was my understanding that 1.0 firmware was undumped.

Yup. N3DS is safe in terms of Emunand. The only reason Ninty was able to block it before was because of a hardware revision that hid some keys from us. So, as @Zidapi said, unless they bring out a new hardware revision, we are safe.

Eventually, who knows.

It can't be blocked again without new consoles. All the N3DS keys are dumped and known now.

 

[Apache Thunder]

It's not so much that we know the keys, it's the fact that it would be very difficult if not impossible to prevent us from getting new keys should they change them again. Because of the exploits on existing consoles that can dump OTP and get the new keys again.

That 9.6 encryption that kept new3DS users stuck on 9.5? Yeah, we have the keys they used to generate that encryption.

I wouldn't rule out them having something sneaky up their sleeves, but for the time being we're invincible.
