Zombie thread, RAAAGH

[Slushie3DS]

I was just repeating what I'd heard. Where did the rumor that it would be a Mii QR code originally come from?

Cubic Ninja uses a QR code...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that SonyUSA said she used a QR Code, and I'm sure it is possible, but I doubt they would base their exploit off of that, as it would be simple to patch, and it's a one shot deal.

The thing you have to understand about Cubic Ninja's QR exploit is that it is a generation twenty-five QR, where as Mii QR codes are around generation one through three. If you look at Ninjhax QR codes, it's obvious how much data is stored in them, but that was only possible because the game allowed for large amounts of data to be stored in a QR code. The Mii QR codes are minuscule in size, and would probably be terribly difficult to work with.

Great news, now we Gateway has no excuse not to release something good within the next 2 weeks

too much leeway. f two weeks. try a week. that is max I will wait.

To be fair, it WAS patched, in firmware 9.3. I don't think the Gateway team cares if their exploits are easily patchable; their users are used to being unable to update.

But that bit about the Cubic Ninja QR codes is super interesting. Even though I don't know much about programming, it does sound like it would be hard to fit an exploit in there.

QR codes are only an entry point, all the magic would happen in Launcher.dat

To explain a bit further, here are some examples.

This is a generation three QR next to a generation forty QR. The Mii QR codes are likely above three, but certainly below forty. You also have to remember that the Mii logo in the center also does affect the amount of data that can be stored.​

Another thing that you have to think about is that some exploits, while different in nature, use similar entry points. You don't want to waste these entry points, especially if it is something that is potentially game breaking. I can understand their decision to not release it, and possibly find a new way to access that entry point.

So, this is the second time I've bricked a 3DS because I'm retarded, haphazard and impulsive. But, yeah, I tried to install a multiple stage update via cia to my sysnand knowing full well the risk and did it anyway. So, how can I explain to my relatives why I need a ride to Walmart for a return the second time? It was hard explaining it the first time. loll

Explain to them if they support your intellectual curiosity in computer science one day you will become a Tech Titan and they can spend the rest of their years playing golf in Boco Raton.

Youre DAMN right 2 weeks is way to long to release it now....shit... they have 1 hour to update this shit

Even large QR codes don't store much data, how big does the 3DS support? No way you are gonna carry more then 3-4 KB of data.

If this actually worked that would be hilarious. The good thing though is it's around their usual time to update, so who knows?

My point exactly.

Wowfunhappy, as VeryCrushed just stated, even massive QR codes, generally generation forty, can only store a very limited amount of data. I believe that the largest amount possible at this moment is 4 KB. If you'd like a comparison of how small that is, the MemoryDump shell from spider3DStools is roughly 6.4 KB when converted to JavaScript. Even then, it doesn't hold all that much data.

I'm such a patient person, im like the only one who couldn't care if it came out now or not lol
This is the year of homebrew though if I ain't playing back up copies by end of this year i'm gonna look at gateway differently but yeh we are staring in the face of Gateway which is cool, support will come soon

Lol hope I'm not the only one seeing day one support possible when I get my N3DS.

I doubt it'll be feb 13th but 1st week is very likely, within 2 weeks it should be here without fail, I'll jump ship to sky if it doesn't happen by Fall or if i'm really pushing it, by Summer

 

[thorasgar]

emuNAND for 9.5 works fine on 3DS, and the keys have already been obtained by other people on the N3DS. It'll be a week at most after GW releases N3DS support that they have 9.5 emuNAND up and running for it.

Cool we should see emuNAND on August 21st then.

 

[Slushie3DS]

Oh, god, I curiously attempted to generate a QR using the hexdecimal values from the regionthree binary, and it froze the generator.

3-4 Kilobytes? more like 3-4 Bytes.
(a friend just pointed out how this may confuse people, i was referencing the gen 4 code, not the gen 40 code.)

 

[Slushie3DS]

3-4 Kilobytes? more like 3-5 Bytes.

4,296 character binary/bytes is the max, which equates to 4 KB.

You seriously think 3-4 bytes? Do you know what a byte is?

yes, it was a joke. (1 byte is the equivelent to 8 bits)
