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

[dubbz82]

Good for you. The fact of the matter is that those with the skills to make a CFW are antipiracy. You guys are the first who take that stance and are willing to make your work public. Pro-piracy folk are just going the have to deal with that fact.

Those looking for a free ROM loader are going to have to find someone who shares their point of view and has both the skill and the willingness to make it public. But, it seems that such a person doesn't exist right now.


Precisely. You said it; there's already numerous other ways to load pirate games. So why do these guys need to provide another?

They don't have to provide another, and that's their choice. My point being that they're not exactly preventing piracy either, they're just forcing other people to go other routes. IMO, the point of all of this really SHOULD be to get the system as open as it can be...not enabling rom loading, to some extent is shooting themselves in the foot, as it's certainly possible for homebrew to use the same sorts of mechanisms as roms do to be loaded.

Came back on this thread and wow, no CIA support, I'm not upset, but would this limit homebrew? If it doesn't, how would using KARL3DS speed up homebrew, and would certain emulators hopefully have sound support, speed etc. using KARL3DS?

And this is exactly the point I was sorta beating around the bush to get at. There's already a pretty significant amount of homebrew that already exists in CIA format.

Impressive! Can't wait to see more.

Could it at the very least be released as just an Emunand and not a CFW? I don't really care about CIA's on 9.2, i'd just like to be able to update to 9.5 and play my Smash Bros cart online (assuming it uses the right encryption key unlike MT's Launcher)

Apparently I'm not listed as part of the "team" but...

Good keep it that way and make a release when you feel its ready

what is the video showing? (it's blocked on my network) thanks

Booting into what appears to be EmuNand and launching devmenu using this exploit.

Dazzozo booting a patched firm with redirected NAND via DS profile entrypoint. Some debug info as it boots, then he demos loading up DevMenu.

I think the main point is he demonstrates 4.5 ds entrypoint sysnand booting cfw 9.x and running devmenu

 

[cearp]

wonderful, even though it is through the ds mode exploit, so i guess he is on 4.x, still very cool
i'm guessing devmenu is already installed (through gw or something, probably used to create emunand also), the cool end goal here is that he made devmenu run without gw nice

I don't think it's really an end goal, or a goal at all. Being able to run DevMenu/install CIA files isn't on the feature list for this project, so that video seems more just for showing the fact of NAND redirection and FIRM patching working as a proof of concept.

sure, i just mean, the 'result' for users of what is being shown in the video. of course how it is done is the main part, but for users like 'us', we just want the end result, so, the use of devmenu without gw i understand what you mean

 

[Dazzozo]

I don't think even we know what the end result is. I'm very impressed if you do.

 

[Huntereb]

Wow, this looks terrible. Excellent waste of time.

 

[Dazzozo]

Wow, this looks terrible. Excellent waste of time.

this is more like it.

 

[SLiV3R]

Wow, this looks terrible. Excellent waste of time.

Ok? So why do you bother to reply?

 

[SLiV3R]

Anyway, everything in this project looks and sounds very interesting so far! I also think it's cool that these guys are tempers and not from the 3dsdev 'elite'

 

[cearp]

I don't think even we know what the end result is. I'm very impressed if you do.

i'm just talking the idea that you got devmenu running is the 'end result', it is a nice outcome, i'm not trying to say any big or sweeping statements... just talking about what you showed!

 

[NyaakoXD]

Would love to see some more.

Ideal feature list:
-doesn't require praying to the rng gods to boot

My priority list is messed up!
