Hacking [WIP] KARL3DS - Kernel access on N3DS via Ninjhax + Loadcode

[AlanWeird]

So happy about this. To be able to use emunand on my new 3ds is all I want.

I have my old XL on 9.2. Wonder if I can get that emunandified for free to transfer all my junk too.

Maybe the spider exploit for that?

What do you mean with skater exploit?

Meant spider. Changed it.

Regionthree doesn't work on new3ds since it uses SKATER, not spider. Emunand is planned though, yes. I'll probably get it working on n3ds today.

dude you are awesome

Come on guys stop the critics.
The project itself cannot be open-source anymore, since releasing the sources of their cfw will lead obviously to a way to play pirated games.
But since this is THEIR cfw, it should be THEIR choice what features it can offer.
It's just fair, stop debating on this, they do a really good work.

I agree they should make whatever they want to make. It is their time and effort. They should make what they want, period.

But as with anything I have no issue with people offering their encouragement, criticism, frustration, etc with any project, product, piece or art, etc. Project creators listen to the opinions of outsiders and it often influences the final product. The creators of this project do not have to react to any of the criticism if they do not want to, that is their right as creators.

Anyways, picked up a copy of Cubic Ninja at gamestop for $15 so I'm ready for whatever this project brings.

I will say that save management is on our bucket list (or at least mine), Saves are a pain with Gateway and they still haven't fixed them yet, and when I actually managed to use SaveDataFiler in the state that it should be used in, it was actually pretty awesome being able to transfer saves straight from any cartridge. We have plans for at least some sort of "Homebrew Channel" with a heck of a lot more permissions than what is available in ninjhax, so save management will probably be an option through there.

If you get save management working to properly back up and restore saves between different retail cartridges of any game, you'll be my hero(es). That's all I've ever wanted from the 3DS hacking scene.

I foolishly bought a Gateway over a year ago, despite not being interested in piracy, on the rather naive assumption that I'd soon be able to use it to back up all my saves. It's been gathering dust ever since. (Lesson learned - don't buy a thing based on potential future features, however inevitable you think said features are.) Powersaves is fine for corruption, accidental deletion, etc. but I'd love to have protection against loss, theft, etc.

Just one small question. Are linked sysnands/emunands still a thing?

Of course. An emuNAND is created by cloning the sysNAND, if you want to unlink them you have to format one or the other. I can't envisage a way to avoid that.

Well I guess technically we could just alter the movable.sed some during emuNAND insertion, but it would be kinda awkward to do it since we'd have to find that particular file and write to it or something. Or we could modify the ARM11 kernel to look in a different location, idk. I might test that right now just to see.

I enjoy how vocal you all are. Keep it up, mates!

Uh, okay!
*That feeling when you inspire someone to try something new*

you know who would be a great addition to this team? I think govanify would be extremely useful and we all know when it comes to keeping secrets he's the best around.

I get that this is a "hilarious" joke about GovanifY leaking others half finished work.

But even if he hadn't, he wouldn't get anywhere near the KARL3DS team's work, because he has nothing to contribute.

He already has his own private "GY-CFW" and has made it clear he won't be sharing it.

He doesn't know anything that the KARL3DS team either don't already know, or can't work out on their own.

Yeah, it seems he has his hands full with whatever stuff he may or may not have. Either way I think we have a good team at the moment, and hopefully nobody plans on leaking anything. Worst case scenario it's not my fault and we can just go ahead and open the floodgates for the actual source.

Apparently GovanifY is preparing to give it away? He hinted at some sort of reply here- https://twitter.com/GovanifY/status/573584830706806784
And I'm kinda skeptical about it. I know it's not much to go off of but it seems he's setting something up? Probably not gonna be public, but eh, it's worth wondering about.

Once again, we'll probably release if he does, depending on how much he actually opens up to the public. And given that particular image he's painting from that picture, my only fear is the amount of damage that might cause if released. Whatever though I guess. I doubt he actually has anything tbh, but he might for all I know.

 

[WulfyStylez]

I'm not going to outright accuse him of stealing code, but I've never seen any evidence that he's familiar with the 3DS platform at all. Heck, it's probably just a dirty hack of yellows8's leaked cfw. I'll be able to tell as soon as I can see the source or binaries, if it even exists.

He said he was rewriting the CFW to make it less buggy? He says he's using Y8s private CFW (how does he even get that from them in the first place?) So I'm not sure what he's doing with this. First he said he was keeping it secret, and now he's editing and writing some sort of write-up/tutorial thing? Weird.

 

[Kirbs]

Would it possible to create CIAs from your retail games using KARL3DS?

I'm sure somebody can "access" the source outside of GovanifY himself.

He just want to take attention.
