Homebrew Seems Neimod made a little more progress.

boy this thread really went down the shitter quick

I see what you did there.

On a serious note though, people are only interested in the end result because a progress report doesn't give them anything to work with right now except for more waiting. These things take time, and considering the complexity and delicate nature of what they are working with, it's best to just get on with life as if it won't get hacked. Prevents the feeling of disappointment if it never gets hacked in your lifetime if you decided to wait for it.

I'm taking the approach that it'll happen when it happens, if it happens. Just like I am with Devolution.

I've got a Galaxy Nexus to keep me occupied, and a Nexus 7 on the way. And a server I really need to manage, and a room I really need to clean.

I said GBA because i would like to play GBA titles Nintendo doesn't release as VC nor Abassador, like Castlevanias, Tales of Phantasya, Mother 3 and such.

Don't read the second one if you don't like bad news.
Wasn't there a big discussion about the CPU supporting execute disable a while back? Can't find the thread right now, but I remember going over concepts of DEP and the NX bit in relation to the 3DS.

EDIT: Redundancy removed.

That's a bit of a shame. I guess we can always hope, right?

Tbh yes.Cause after all every hack that comes first has problems or is a bit hard to do things.Like passme on the old ds's
I just hope for anything for now atleast.And dont forget at the early days with GBA emulation being impossible on Slot-1 solutions
Ichifly managed something amazing with gba emulation even tho with no sound due to limitations

So a pure software solution is not possible. That's already the case with the DSi. Hm.. what about a flash cart? :unsure:
I think he means the only possible solution would be to open up the 3DS and insert some kind of modchip, not that anybody has created one yet.

Are you saying a Homebrew app isn't possible through an R4?

While it will probably only be aa hardware hack at first, this will eventually lead to some kind of software hack.

Did you read the IRC log posted above? neimod made it quite clear a software hack will almost certainly not be possible (at all). Because of how the 3DS works, you cannot load new code. Assuming you find an exploit, the best you can do is jump to other (already existing and loaded) code. You'd then have to exploit THAT code (breaking out of the kernel) as well to be able to load custom code. He is 99.9% sure purely software homebrew will not be possible. And this is coming from neimod, who knows the 3DS better than anyone else in the homebrew scene (or probably in Nintendo :P)

EDIT: To clarify (as apparently it is necessary for some), my "probably in Nintendo" comment was a joke.

Legacy did say they had a way to load there dumps
so assume no method that would allow homebrew is possible for now

,

If that was the case, he would probably know where to look for the keys or maybe how to hack it. XD
Only the developers of the system might know everything in it.
