Why haven't you hacked your 3DS yet?

This is it , NINTENDO is going to bring the hammer down,

All of you that were stupid enough to not support NINTENDO is going to pay...........................................................................................................................................................

Little late.

Well that's interesting. I wonder if this will have an impact, and whether they'll do it for their future systems.

Because I have a hacked Vita that does everything it does, aside from play 3DS games and DS games, but that's balanced out with PS1 games.

What? You can't balance out the lack of a system with another. My PC can play ps and ds games but not 3ds. It balances out! That sounds so stupid.

What a stupid idea. Even if they fix an exploit before it is leaked to the public, the firmware upgrade will still expose what the exploit is if you check to see what it changes. All this will do is make more people search for exploits. Nintendo is literally retarded.

A hacked PSVita is downright wonderfull, one of the best devices i've ever owned when i had a horrible flu and took it to take a shit i actually wept about being able to play Super Punch Out while dying on the toilet.

Only downside for the Vita is that you can't play newer games yet. Probably a way will be found later, but it's gonna take some time.

Considering it's for a nearly dead system this is probably to prevent vulnerabilities on future consoles

Doesnt matter what system its for. As soon as an exploit is patched it will shine a huge light straight on to the vulnerable areas of the firmware. As long as you don't update until the weakness is exploited abd released to the public then it's fine. Nintendo is just giving more incentive for people to find the weaknesses.

This isn't fucking chemistry where "balanced" has an actual meaning. You "sound so stupid"

The easy way out is for them to be scummy and require an internet sign-in to use the console for x amount of time, opening the Switch up to automatic updates.

A less retarded route would be to simply auto-obtain DNS regardless of connection settings when the console is trying to download its update files.

It's honestly really easy to make home consoles keep themselves unexploited if you think about it. I think they haven't yet because both current-gen systems Nintendo has are all on hackable firmwares when they ship and don't have either of these options implemented.

I prefer Wololo's report on this in which he talks with Smea about the overall importance of all of this.

Either way if you're already got yours hacked it will have close to no impact to you.

Also, this would most likely mean just a super re-inforced system security on the Switch since the 3DS will soon eventually be phased out.

>tfw Luma master race
you can try Ninty but you already lost

>$20k max payout
Maybe if they up it to 200k, since I'm sure any Chinese company looking for a Kernal exploit to find a means to monetize would be willing to fork out more than $20k for it.

>you've lived long enough to have actual Nintendo Bounty Hunters putting a price on your head

>Nintendo Bounty Hunters

>if someone actually gets a 20k payout Metroid will come to their house and tell them they won the ARG, right before he gives them the check with a copy of Prime 4 attached.

doesn't the cfw that's already out make it impossible for nintendo to reverse with updates?

You have to fight the pirates

i can play dragon quest builders. that's pretty new.

the only way I can see them catching you is if they manage to get account information from cia sites like 3dsiso. But considering they are no FBI nor are paying much, I seriously doubt they can do anything if you have cfw

The only people they'd care about are people like Billy. I bet some are dumb enough to use their NNID on the site too.

If o buy the new 3ds will it be hackable? Or should i just look for an old 3ds or a used one at gamestop?

currently all 3ds are hackable even the n3ds with 11.2 firmware. depending on what firmware they have determines what you need to hack them though and how much trouble you'll have to go to.

There should be a list online of 3DS models and their firmwares. The newer ones that sold out on Black Friday were at 11, which is hackable with another hacked system handy.

I think most N3DS XLs are below that, making them all hackable on their own. Shoot for 10.7 and below if you can.

Don't buy a used one, because that's a wildcard on just how far it's been updated.

Is 11.0 the current firmware being shipped/sold, if you know that is. Also is the process anything like psp cfwing?

None of you are greedy enough to sell out your buddies here at Sup Forums for $20k, right?

it's probably because the Switch will have a similar system.

Shit man I'd sell you out for a cute girl to smile at me.

you can check by serial number

>Also is the process anything like psp cfwing?
You will never get anything that simple again.

for black friday it was. it's now december so i wouldn't still trust it being 11.0.

the process is much more resource and time intensive.

The Tegra chip it'll have is apparently a different system than the 3DS, but they might be re-using code anyway. Or they're in it for the long term since the Switch won't be their last venture and they wanna know everything they did wrong.

Thats too bad, im pretty good with instructions though, im sure ill figure it with some google searching
Alright thanks for this.

Is there any exclusives for the n3ds or would i be safer just searching for a older model?

>Is there any exclusives for the n3ds
The Binding of Isaac. The rest of its features are for hacked machines, do not buy a normal 3DS or a 2DS, it's a waste of money.

When is Nintendo going to put a working screenshot function on this thing?

Xenowhatever. The Wii game.
Also some dumb box game??? And Runbow whatever the fuck that is.

Also only N3DS can play SNES eshop because (???)

But they have one, it's called posting to Miiverse!
:^)

Xenoblade 3D.

Also, hacked N3DSes can be overclocked for every game that doesn't normally do so. Your best bet is to get an N3DS with a serial number that puts the version at or below 10.7.

If you don't mind sending messages you could ask sellers on ebay what their consoles' firmwares are. Could save money if it's an issue.

Thanks again, ill check the reddit page and hope for the best i guess, is it possible to know the serial Number before i buy it, if ots not one of the pbvipus special edition ones?

Just don't buy any of the recent ones, the Galaxy N3DS XL, the two Black Friday ones, and whatever one was in between those two. Everything else is 10.7 or below unless you get it used or straight from Nintendo.

>If you don't mind sending messages you could ask sellers on ebay what their consoles' firmwares are.

This question is going to sound autistic as fuck, but do you reckon it's rude to provide instructions on how to check system firmware when you ask about the firmware version?

Kind of. But you're the buyer, so it's better to be safe than sorry?

As long as you aren't like...

Hi, can you tell me what firmware this is on?????????????????? I will only buy if #. (instructions here)

Thank you, reply ASAP!!!

I buy and sell on eBay, and I would rather be asked questions clearly than have someone get pissed later.

Cheers, heres hoping i can get my hands on one, i love my ds flashcart and cfw psp, so comfy for gaming, also 3ds seems to have decent library now. So im pretty interested in some new jrpgs.

>Also some dumb box game???
BoxBoy and BoxBoxBoy are amazing, you faggot.

>anonymous "buddies"
>$20k
Hmm....

"What firmware is the console running right now? It will tell you when you go to system settings. I'm looking for one that isn't updated."

Clear question, clear directions, clear reasoning.

You don't need to sound sociable when you're about to spend money, by the way. The seller doesn't need to be your best friend, he just needs to know what info you want.

This. Most sellers should be cool with it and ebay is usually on the buyer's side so if they lie to you, you can easily contest.

>Because I have a hacked Vita that does everything it does

I dunno. Still looking for a way to play my PS1 games that isn't complete crap.
