The real challenge starts now: executing code in user mode via save exploits is one thing, finding vulnerabilities that allow other ROMs to be loaded is a completely different game.

[Persona86]

Why did I think it was already hacked?

[wrowa]

I just want it to be region free. :(

[Unicorn]

Who knows if it will amount to anything. If it means no more region lock, hell yeah.

All I want.

[Spike]

If they can remove the region lock and allow us to install our retail games onto SD card, then I'd bite.

[hunnies28]

When does a hack become not fake without an actual release? Not really involved in the scene but actually curious upon reading some of the comments.

[Heavy]

I feel bad for Nintendo if this is true, but fuck it, they brought it on themselves with region lock and the fact that they suck at promoting localizations. Hope it's real.

It would have been hacked even if it didn't have region lock, so Nintendo didn't bring anything on themselves.

[cyberheater]

It would have been hacked even if it didn't have region lock, so Nintendo didn't bring anything on themselves.

It lends the hacker a form of legitimacy though...

[EuropeOG]

dat proof!

[ffdgh]

Hmm true but it brought more of an incentive to hack the 3ds.

[Petrie]

Let's hope so. Having to use separate carts for a portable library in this day and age is why I don't have a 3DS yet.

[Tenki]

Hmm true but it brought more of an incentive to hack the 3ds.

It brought more of an excuse to hack the 3DS, and then do *stuff*.

[Lonely1]

It could be just displaying a hacked DS program, just saying.

Pretty much all (new) games are being released digitally too nowadays.

[Kerub]

Why did I think it was already hacked?

You can use DS flashcards on 3DS. Maybe that's what you were thinking about?

[Avallon]

I just want to play Project X Zone without spending $400. Please let this be true.

[Lonely1]

3DS could be totally hacked and is still likely that you won't be able to do that.

[Avallon]

Explain :(

[Petrie]

And if it was better with pricing that'd be great, but it seems to be the reverse, and I don't pay the same price for digital versions of most games. Steam has spoiled me.

But even removing that, having it only be part of the library means I'm not interested.

[cyberheater]

Homebrew in 3D could be very interesting.

I'd love to see something like space invaders or even a homebrew version of the Starwars wireframe arcade game done in 3D.

[Mitama]

Would be awesome if we get something out of this. I won't have to import a US 3DS then! :D

[grimshawish]

So basically...this as of now...is nothing...?

Homebrew in 3D could be very interesting. I'd love to see something like space invaders or even a homebrew version of the Starwars wireframe arcade game done in 3D.

Homebrew hardly ever interests me as I just think its a waste of time on something that can be done better on other platforms; but 3D is a very interesting addition that nothing else can offer like the 3DS can.

[liger05]

All I want is region free. Give me that and boy suddenly my very good 3DS becomes epic!

[Lonely1]

Explain :(

Here:

The real challenge starts now: executing code in user mode via save exploits is one thing, finding vulnerabilities that allow other ROMs to be loaded is a completely different game.

Even if they get pass that, getting over region restriction probably requires a hacked (custom) firmware.

Region locks suck :\

Hopefull Sony's next console will stick with the current "open" formula.

[Relaxed Muscle]

PSX emu with 3D? Yes, please

[ohlawd]

No one wants the latter. Eff that noise.

[Lonely1]

No one wants the latter. Eff that noise.

People who want region free do, though.

[cyberheater]

PSX emu with 3D? Yes, please

Or indeed SM64 in 3D. I'd go out and buy one tomorrow if that was possible. I wonder if the controls would map okay?

[Tagg9]

PSX emu with 3D? Yes, please

Wow, people are really getting ahead of themselves haha.

[Petrie]

No one wants the latter. Eff that noise.

Speak for yourself. I want to be able to load my whole library onto a cart.

[Avallon]

Don't developers have to code their product to work with 3D? Not everything you put on that screen just magically becomes 3D (Devil Survivor 3Ds)

[Foffy]

Couldn't it just as easily be a DS homebrew executed to show this text on the 3DS? There are a number of DS flashcards that work on 3DS..

I'll wait for something more concrete, but I'll see how it goes in regards of hacks if it's true. You all know some game won't be released worldwide even if it's in English, and region locking is a fucking cancer for enthusiastic consumers like us.

[baekshi]

please let the 3DS play japanese games

[ohlawd]

I read that post thinking about piracy. Like uploading the contents and posting it on the net so everyone else can download it.

I don't care what you do with your own games. Petrie, I'd do the same to my own collection.

[WillyFive]

N64 emulators and Dolphin can make games work in 3D.

[Avallon]

Really? Is there any proof of this? Why do you mention Dolphin (Wii/GameCube)?

[Jockel]

Nope, because then the whole top screen wouldn't be illuminated.

[Petrie]

Well 3DS Roms are already on the internet aren't they?

Unfortunately this would let them be played, but frankly I care more about my ability to load all my games conveniently than I do a bunch of pirates getting to play for free. They aren't going to buy the games anyways, so don't neuter the convenience of my stuff on account of them.

[wrowa]

That being said, wasn't it said that Nintendo was able to "brick" 3DS's that run unknown programms? They never followed suit, did they?

[tenchir]

Really? Is there any proof of this? Why do you mention Dolphin (Wii/GameCube)?

Stereoscopy support can be added to any emulator for 3D games like Mario 64 or Crash Bandicoot because of z depth.

[I NEED SCISSORS]

I might be mistaken but I think that's achieved using iZ3D and 3D Vision. With those, I think there is some sort of logic which allows any game to become 3D (with varying degrees of success).

[cyberheater]

I tried the gamecube version of F-Zero under emulation on my PC using 3D version. The 3D was absolutely incredible and deep. The geometry to work out the 3D is already in the scene.

[nasos_333]

I will eventually be able to download Bravely Default from Japan store ?

Tears running down :), i so want that game

please let the 3DS play japanese games

That !!!!!

I want games like Ni no Kuni and Bravely Default more than anything on DS-3DS and they are the ones not coming to US :(

[Spike]

While true, I haven't paid more than $20 new for any 3DS game at retail. I can't get that with digital. And I still don't trust Nintendo with their DRM tied to the original purchasing console nonsense...

[Petrie]

This.

Flash cart or bust.

Like everyone said, region lock. Region lock region lock region lock.

If they can get the region free going, I buy a 3DS XL at that same second, just to avoid the impending firmware update. Region free systems save me so much money that otherwise goes nowhere important.

[M3d10n]

No one wants the latter. Eff that noise.

It's almost inevitable if they get unsigned code running. Your region free gaming does not come without consequences.

[-PXG-]

Overriding region locking alone would be amazing.

[Unicorn]

Virtual Boy emulator with 3D

[sixteen-bit]

Kill the region lock and you've sold me on a 3DS XL. I'll just import a black one.
