One thing I've been thinking about is the 9.5 firmware. Someone (was it yellow8..?) said that Nintendo fucked up the implementation of the cryptography of the firmware...does that mean as a result of that future firmware's cryptography is also going to be easily crackable..? Or can they fix this with 9.6..?

Hmm, yes. Could it be fixed with 9.6?

Who cares about the beta , it didn't support emunand anyways
I wish GW would release a beta or even an alpha or anything just for the express purpose of letting us create update and back up an emunand with 9.5 even if it doesn't work yet we can still get 9.5 NAND dump and save it for when it does work before N releases another update

And end up with bricks?

I mean, any update can repair what was broken. Worse case Ontario, Gateway continues to dawdle and we get a Nintendo update that fixes their means of exploitation before they release -- then we're all in for a long winter. Even if they have a working exploit (and have had one for a while), their work may not mean anything if Nintendo releases the next update before they get it out to us.

I agree that I think they should absolutely release something before the next firmware update even if it's Alpha, at least so we can back up our 9.0/9.2 firmware.

I'm saying if the reason they are not releasing is because games that use mii's don't work
And Sony didn't get bricked
I'm saying just something that is crippled but stable just for emunand backup
Seems to me they can fix their obfuscation in 9.6 so better to get the latest now while it's available if we can

Hey so I actually didn't notice this before, but the gateway dragon is the same dragon as the blazetamer dragon

Coincidence? I THINK NOT

Nah, but I still don't understand the choice of smaug.

Maybe it's because of all the gold and gold makes you think of pirates and gateway is mostly for pirates?

Spoiler

 

[SonyUSA]

That's not the issue tho. What I mean is why would a US rom without RF patch work in a EUR 3DS and a US rom with RF patch wouldn't?
I get now why the rom without RF patch works since I just learned GW also patches that. But what about the US rom with RF patch? Unless the patch conflicts with GW patch, it should also work, no?

I think it's just a bug in the conversion of your cia, if region free was causing problems, then the game wouldn't launch period with non-patched cia.

On the other hand Sky3DS uses Bumblebee. I guess the message is "f*ck copyright" or something...

Here is the odd thing, some games actually have region detection built in, despite it being a region locked console! Bravely Default: For the Sequel (JP only) for instance detects your US console (tested it installed as .cia) and sets the menu and voice to English by default! It also shows on the Home Screen you can update it, the update downloads however errors out when it tries to install :/ (something about download failed)

All .cia's installed with Gateway are 'region free' without having to patch them to be region free. I think people hunt down "region-free" .cia's because of ignorance OR they are still using the 4.5 CFW and require it for that.

Not odd at all. This has been done for years in regards to region detection. The code is generally the same and the game would contain English/Japanese/Multi. This is separate from the actual region "locking". Easier to distribute the same code for all regions.

Ok, I can see where you are going with that, but this particular cart is JP -only- it doesn't have plans to be released outside JP, yet it contains all languages and region detection for some reason.

SonyUSA should be publicly stoned for not sharing the private beta. After all, it says it didn't get it from GW, so it has someone else who leaked it. Just leak it again, duh? Everyone knows how desperate people are, and if GW takes notice of theleak they will have to do something. Its time THEY dance to the tune of the customers, like it should be.

Should be stoned? What the hell is wrong with you? It's fucking cartridge, calm the hell down or buy a sky3ds, god damn you are going way overboard and should not post in here till you know what you're on about

All I know is that I downloaded and installed 2 conversions of jap region CIA's of eshop titles and they give me the gift bug every time I reboot to emunand but all other CIA files I installed before and after including MM do not get rewrapped

 

[codychaosx]

And the payload server for her exploit is no longer available so we couldn't use her "beta" version even if she leaked the files. lol no need to stone or tar and feather or crucify or whatever other forms of execution you can think of

Stoned? What the fuck is wrong with you? You an ISIS member?

 

[MrJason005]

So if the Payload's dead, does that mean than an internet browser exploit/Youtube exploit is confirmed?

 

[guitarheroknight]

The payload most likely got implemented to sop the beta distribution like last year. Im guessing that no internet connection is gonna be required for the exploit to work since you would download all the files like you did with the DS profile. Then again I might be wrong

 

[Classicgamer]

He doesn't use IRC



Ew, enjoy spending hours patching the proper textures and MUSIC back into it, since they decided to rip out the CD quality audio and put in midi files for all the music... wtf.

Actually you'd be surprised! It has been greatly automated. You download the texture mods and updated soundtrack from a torrent(easy mode) and then run the installer to customize the game to your liking. Then hit patch. 5 min later you're playing an HD remake! It really Is nice.

It's actually ISIL ;D They changed it to be more specific a long time ago, people just like calling it ISIS still though :/

 

[Thirty3Three]

They actually did it because they're fans of Archer and don't want the show ruined.

 

[jimskeet2002]

Well if SonyUSA can still use the exploit after payload servers are down, that means that it doesn't need web access to use the exploit after it installs once.

 

[MrJason005]

If she teases us once more with a leaked title on 3DS before its release date, we can confirm that the exploit does not require an Internet connection, ruling out Internet browser and Youtube (Along with other online features in apps)
