RUMOR: 3DS finally hacked?

Yup, just for piracy
Really?
If I'm going out and about way from home, I'd rather not take all of my carts with me. For 1. convenience, and 2. If I lost them, id be fucked.
I'd love a decent flashcart for the 3DS. Not all my games are digital, and I don't fancy rebuying them when I already have the physical versions - especially with Nintendo's shitty digital system.
Eh, I'd rather just get a Japanese system if I have to deal with updates and such.

Region locked games? Could be an acceptable solution for those people that don't want to buy the same portable 2 times.
Not that I disagree that it has no use outside of piracy, did you happen to miss this post?
Does it play games from other regions? I don't see any indication of that.
Aparently this works just like a regular cart. So region lock would apply too.

Interesting. I was wondering whats taking so long for them to hack it. I'm more interested in seeing how nintendo reacts to this.

I just want region free. But with firmware updates it'll get squashed unless you hold onto one just for region free .

No I watched the video, I see they've got it working one game per card. Thus, the argument of "I don't want to carry loads of game cards around with me" is moot so far.
Okay. And the post I linked to said the video is old and that they now have a game loader.

Oh! I apologize, poor reading comprehension. So it's advanced then, that's a shame if it doesn't fix region locking or anything of the sort. Did piracy negatively affect the original DS a lot? I knew a load of kids who owned an R4.

I'd rather have a solution that uses the SD slot but that might be harder to accomplish
and doesn't make money.
uh, why would that crowd be questionable considering how awful nintendo's dlc policies are
I mean it doesn't apply here since it's only one game per cart but if it wasn't then yeah

That statement's a bit confusing, as why wouldn't they just make another video showing the loader? I doubt they only had the capability to make a video that one time. I mean even the 3DS can record video, and even a terrible quality video showing the loader would be better than just saying there's one and uploading an old video.

Really isn't a point to do this. Nintendo already lets me download games to a SD card. I'm good with that. Piracy sucks.

Oh, I just assumed it does like past DS flashcards...

I find it a hard pill to swallow going on personal anecdotal evidence, that's all. I'm sure there were legitimately people who used their R4 cards to store the games they'd legitimately bought and nothing else, but I never met such a person.
cool but that doesn't give you the right to imply people are pirates for saying they want to do something that makes sense
The DS wasn't region-locked.

Unlike the DS though, it's easily updated. I know that never stopped the PSP, but it certainly seems a lot more difficult.

we really don't have to make this a thread about piracy, guys
Really? Awesome, that gives it a bit more use. What about saves?
Really need a way to bypass that region lock as well.

Something that actually Nintendo lets you doing, by buying from the eShop, you know...
it helps to read posts
maybe once nintendo leaves 1997 for their online shop their DD will be viable, but until then I'll stick to buying retail and will use a solution that lets me carry all my games at once when available

Just in time for E3 and the rumored 3DS firmware/miiverse update.

I can imply they are liars though.

I'm amazed it took them this long. Nintendo must have had some very serious protection in their system.
So. Is there any benefits apart from piracy. Can you now run homebrew, emulators etc... and are homebrew devs actually working on them.
It would be nice to play something like SM64 in 3D.

Not really, since you can just use SD cards and buy games digitally already....
that's the same thing
Nope.

True, I'm dumb.
And what if hackers release this code AFTER that update? Exploit is still not public...
Another update I would imagine.
Took me a while to get my head around everyone saying "it's only one game" despite one of the first posts saying it's not only one game
Will get it if it allows region free somehow, even if it requires me to never update. We all know that sooner or later Nintendo will stop updating and the flash cards will win, anyway. That's very long term though.
edit: logically, if they can run roms, can't they run roms which had their region "changed" through some kind of patcher? that would provide region free

theoretically:
- having your retail games on a single cart
- circumventing region lock

Maybe because now you are able to carry several games in one or more SD cards, buying them from the eShop.
Well, this one can actually help you carrying all your games at once, also:
This is already doable with most retail games on the eShop though.
