>3DS
-Menu/Iron/Browserhax all work on the latest firmware again!
-To install Menuhax, you need to have changed your theme once.
-GET IRONFALL NOW. smea released an old version downloader! (Try in Menuhax, Browserhax struggles with this.)
***Newly announced hacks aren't actually out yet, just the tools to make them happen
-memchunkhax2 (now a WIP) is a new kernel11 exploit that works on every firmware including 10.3, and allows downgrading to 9.2 sans NAND backup.
-SNSHAX permits New 3DS's on 10.1 or below to downgrade.
-NTRCardHax is a kernel 9 exploit allowing piracy, but relies on special hardware like a card.
-ARM9LOADERHAX injects a payload directly into New 3DS bootrom, but requires a way to write nand via hardware.
>Wii U
-Apparently, the Wii U and 3DS use the same fucking keys... LOL
-Hykem expects to release an IOSU by February. It will work up to 5.5. https://gbatemp.net/threads/367489/page-672#post-5869658
>PS4
-cturt has decided to stop researching PS4 exploits
http://wololo.net/2015/12/18/cturt-publishes-ps4-kernel-exploit-technical-details-decides-to-end-hacking-research-on-ps4/

First for 5.5 never ever.
Second for 10.4 never ever.
Third for 10.3 EmuNAND for N3DS.
>>126929280
Is the whole shit about normalkey and keyy going to make this happen?
>>126929280
Post your face when the NNID discontinuation makes all of today's hacks irrelevant for playing/downloading next year's games.
>No CFW or downgrades or piracy above 9.2. Yet.
>Was planning on picking up the N3DS Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer bundle
>Only planned on pirating & using homebrew
>Bundle's unit comes with FW9.8.0-25U out of the box.
Fuck. What are the odds of finding a Japanese N3DS at 9.2? And I don't want a N3DS XL either.
>>126929370
Just be patient. It's going to happen
>>126929364
People will dump them with ninjhax and braindump.
>>126929548
So basically someone just needs to sacrifice one 3DS?
>>126929618

>>126929548
>braindump
Still hasn't even cracked the newer 9.6 encryption and most likely won't be
>>126929973
That's what I was wondering about. I just have a feeling some 2016 games aren't going to get cracked for a long time.
>download play coin setter
>can now play Ultimate Angler all I want
I love you guys.
so, in order to keep menuhax working, I can't change my theme except through the custom theme features in the menuhax installer, right?
>>126930607
You know it.
Anyone here experienced with Wii Virtual Console injection? I got my N64 ROM injected into Sin and Punishment along with a new banner and icon, but I can't seem to find where to put banner.tpl for the save file. When I use VC Save Injector it says to pick a folder to inject it to and I have no idea what to do from here.

>>126929370
Hey, I didnt even care about CFW prior to Monster Hunter X coming out. I just assumed if I didn't need to pirate, I didnt need it. So I actually got invested in the small n3DS bundle. It's in Japan getting a cap card and everything... and I was kicking myself until this week.
Moral of the story could be that I'm a dummy, but it's also that there's no reason you couldn't just wait a bit. None of this news that just came out impresses you? You could even get one now so Ironhax is at least set.
>>126929370
You know I forgot to also say I recently bought a XL n3DS from this seller. It was a good transaction other than you know this week's news making it a ridiculous purchase. But if your heart's set on a small Japanese n3DS, I can recommend this.

>>126931089
to be fair he's looking into a cold boot exploit now, which if it ends up working will mean big things. he also said if it ends up being nothing that he'll release the exploit right away, which means that the IOSU exploits are basically done. not much longer, anon
>>126930607
Yeah but I wouldn't even bother risking it until CFW. It's just not worth it.

Has this JustPingo guy ever released anything useful to the 3DS scene? Why is he acting like he is the best 3DS hacker ever?
>>126932986
That dude's all talk.
No code ever. If he actually had something at this point, he could provide it.
Not disclosing the source is stupid. Give he has anything at all.
>>126932986
Absolutely nothing. He got BTFO by smea some weeks ago for misreading a function that did nothing and assuming it was an exploit within *hax 2.5
>>126933148
And yet he acts almighty on twitter and gbatemp as if he was people only hope to ever get piracy on >9.2 with a whole bunch of faggots sucking his dick. They must all be 13 or something.
Do I still need to insert a custom header on .3ds roms and rename them to .3dz to play online safely?
I am using Gateway and might switch to CFW but not for now, so I'd like to know this with Gateway in mind.

He's "working" on SNShax and I would bet good money that nothing comes of it after Steveice10 releases memchunkhax2 because it'll be irrelevant.

Yes.
But I think they gave up on banning people a while ago.
>>126933674

In regards to this, if as is stated and the webkit exploit requires 1.76 to run, is this essentially stating that the first CFW entry-point will be for 1.76 units. And its essential to secure a 1.76 model before its released, so it alleviates the need to overpay?
>>126934053
Do it if you're looking forward to pirating PS4 games
>>126932896
Good point about the price. You should obviously just wait and get the AC bundle. There's also rolling the dice with ordering just any Japanese n3DS, but again.

Why are there so many r4 versions?
>>126935907
Once upon a time there was just one that became extremely popular. It was ubiquitous enough that DS flashcarts were often just called R4s
Then all the chinks wanted a piece of that pie so they called their cards R4s
>>126935907
Because their producers want to make money.
>>126936018
Also, back when Nintendo still actively blocked DS flashcarts, a new hardware revision or firmware update usually meant that some of the jewier companies released new carts instead of updates for the carts.
>>126932212
Please help.
>>126936926
Sell it as defect on eBay or throw it away.
>tfw no N3DS
>tfw never getting the normalkey to find C with
>>126936208
>a new hardware
Has there ever been something like that to block slot-2 flashcards other than the DSi? I think the antipiracy was done fors ome specific games
>>126936926
Put it somewhere and hope that someday we'll know that key or something, which might never happen. Buy another 3DS and ignore that one.
>>126937062
They tried blocking passme carts which were required to boot gba-slot flashcarts.
So I have a 10.2 new 3ds and I want homebrew.
Is browsehack or themehack already running?
How do I remove update nag from EMUNAND?
>>126938007
Yes.
I bought a N3DS XL, firmware at 9.8.
Currently doing the hack but when I go to the old eshop through the homebrew and try to download Ironfall, it asks me for a Nintendo ID, when I tried to create it or associate with another NNID, it ask me to update my 3DS.
What should I do?
Did I fuck up somewhere while trying to go to the old eshop?
>>126938250
TN or IPS?
>>126938250
eShop is x.x.x-28 only. You don't need to care about ironhax if you have browserhax and menuhax.
>>126938364
This, just be sure to back up your SD card in case you ever fuck up Menuhax.
>>126938294
W-What?
>>126938364
I just did the QR thing on http://yls8.mtheall.com/3dsbrowserhax.php
How do you even access in it after rebooting your console? without QR-ing again
>>126938502
diiiid you install Menuhax yet? Or not?
>>126938050
Emunand suppressor
>>126938502
>>126938557

>>126938635

So do any of those exploits let me to abuse the Nintendo Badge Arcade for free plays? I'd really like to have all Pokemon badges but I'm quite shitty at the crane game and I'd rather not get good goy'd by microtransactions.
Same goes for Pokemon Picross. Was any exploit recently discovered to get me past the Picrite bullshit?
I have the old Ironfall installed and my og 3DS is on 10.3 by the way.
>>126938810
Well until you install Menuhax, surprise surprise, you have to use the QR code to launch Homebrew.
>>126937030
>implying you even know what that is
>>126938854
https://github.com/MrCheeze/GYTB for the badges
so I did the ironhax thing long ago but updated to 10.3 so it doesnt work anymore
so where is the guy for 10.3 3ds?
>>126938854
there's a save data editor for picross that enables infinite picrite usage.
>>126938929
Not him, but I really don't. I don't even understand why everyone wants this C key so much.
>>126939212
Use the newest browserhax and reinstall ironhax. After that, never update anymore.
>>126938948
thanks
i'm guessing there is no progress on the picross game yet, correct?
>>126937030
what do you want to do with the C if you're not a developer ? or you want it because oh look I am a cool kid too because I got the C
>>126939280
oh, that's awesome
i'm guessing it's somewhere in the pastebin?
>>126939323
okay, got a link for browserhax? Ive never used that one
Also how about when I want to play games online like smash or when it updates and I have to go to eshop
>>126939483
Google, seriously.
>>126939461
Why the fuck would it be in the pastebin?
blackfin when.
>>126939516
Or just look up. No one ever bothers to look up
>>126939306
You can calculate the normal key with the C bypassing nintendo's hardware key scrambler.
this is the formula
nkey = (((x <<< 2) ^ y) + C) <<< 87
>>126939461
haha, no. https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-infinite-picrites-on-pokemon-picross.404875/
So... is FMP's region-free permenant on emuNAND, or is it like NTR where it resets when you turn off the system?
Also; what happens when you install, say, a US .cia on a JPN system? Does it just not show up on the home menu until you run NTR or FMP? On CakesFW, anyway - I know that rxTools is pre-patched.
>>126940132
It is still installed, just "invisible" on nand.
>>126940378
Ah, so does it show up when I patch the home menu (either via NTR or FMP?)
Can I install Ironhax through the Menu/Browserhax?
>>126940884
Can you read?
HOLY SHIT
>>126941149

>>126941149
Alright google'd for a while but couldn't find anything on it. My Region Free Fire Emblem If non-translated CIA installs fine, but every once in a while when i boot up emunand, it rewraps itself. (My nads are unlinked). Also, anyway to get fullspeed SNES games on an O3DS with kernel access?

So can you still access the eshop with a 9.2 3ds?
Or do you have to pirate everything you want to play on then?
show me them
>>126942505
You can do both.
>>126942505
You can in emunand.
What's the easiest way to update my N3DS's emunand to 9.5? Using gateway.
>>126942972
Download a 9.5 update pack from 3dsiso and install all the CIAs in it
>>126943271
OP's pastebin says
>! Always update your emuNAND through System Update. Never update through ROMs/CIAs, EVER
Is this advice outdated?
I havent touched my 3ds in quite a while. Currently its on 4.5 or so actual, and GW3D 9.4.0. Do I need to upgrade anything for newer games, and if yes, how do I do this without fucking myself over?
>>126943486
Obviously if you update "normally" you'll overshoot 9.5, you don't really have a choice.

you mean the wiki that doesn't tell me anything or the pastebin that's been deleted? Nigga, all I'm asking is if there's any reason for me to upgrade higher than GW3D 9.4.0, or if I can just leave it as is.
>>126938635
Is there an easier way to test what kind of screen you have?
>>126944404
well most of the newer games that came out this year require at least 9.5 FW(Triforce Heroes, MHX etc etc). So it al depends on the games you play. you can update if you want since you're on o3DS and their is no harm in doing it

>>126945208
Who knows. We don't know what part is working as intended and what isn't. Also, the time it takes to solve a problem is completely unknown. He may be stuck on something for days, or like 30 minutes.
>>126945580
yes. just make sure you boot into emunand, go into system settings and make sure it says GW at the top then start the update. you'll have to update your launcher to the newest version (3.6.1 i think) on gateways website as well
>>126945208
Let me read it and I'll get back to you. Last commit I read was putting a table of "hello" strings as the next pointer of the memchunk header to just look and see if it was overwriting the old pointer in time.
>>126945208
>>126946070
OK I read it. Some code was moved around. Debug output was added to check the memchunk header members like the next pointer. The timer vtable is also not being changed to the "hello" table anymore.
tl;dr not HAPPENING yet. When? Soon™
>>126945801
Right, so update the gateway card/launcher first, then make sure I'm in emunand and update through system settings. Gotcha. How do I upgrade to 3.6.1 launcher again? Just replace my old launcher.dat with the new one?
What am I doing wrong? How do I fix this? This has never happened before
>>126946837

Nope, that would be a different error. Do a "Disk Check" on the drive (Properties -> Tools -> Error checking -> Check now). Also make sure that your drive is not write protected.
so is there a video tutorial of how to transfer your emunand to a new SD card?

motherfucking fuck im already halfway done using this way.
whats different about this? Will I keep my already installed games?
>>126947704
If you're already doing it then that's fine.
It's just that multinand creator is really straightforward, it automates what you're doing now.
>>126947384
Thanks, I tried that. When copying the file before and after the check, it seemed there was an identical file of 0kb in the folder already, and the error would come up if I tried to copy and replace. Currently copying as a second file instead, will this be an issue? Is it bad to keep the 0kb file in there?
>>126947873
If that 0kb file can't be deleted or reappears after you delete it, it's a corrupted file. Error checking should get rid of it, or chkdsk.
What is the dbs folder used for? I can't find an explanation anywhere...
>>126946939
Could well be time for a new SD card if you can't resolve it.
>>126948220
It's how the home menu keeps a record of what stuff you have installed.
>>126945580
>>126945801
I've always been curious. What happens if you do this on a New 3DS?

Update the N3DS emunand?
The update will go successfully, and then you won't be able to boot your emunand because you can't load the firmware.
>>126948596
It's hard to believe no one ever figured out how to go to 10.3 emuNAND (disregarding recent developments). What's the problem?
>>126948731

>>126948984
Had some problems with those SD cards too, that's why I only use the sandisk 32gb microsd card class 10 ones, never had any problems with them

Hi, I want to buy a cheap PS2 off eBay to softmod it and have it play games off hdd, and shit.

GGn but they've been DDoS'd all month before Christmas, came back up for 1 day and have been down since. It seems like they paid for a few days of bigger protection but that went out the window.
I like BCG but their uploads are shadowed by GGn.

Depends on what you're planning on emulating, but that's probably a better idea.

Maybe Hollywood has hired some faggots to DDOS private trackers instead of waiting for the government of said domain to oblige court rulings? Could just be my tinfoil hat.
I do remember some people from the IRC they had that some drama happened and a bunch of people left. DDOSs seem to happen when a bunch of people get pissed off with no other forms of retaliation. I get it, I would do it too if I cared but alas I don't. Either way they just end up hurting everyone but the people they intended.

>hardware downgrade
Is it hard? I'm guessing you swap the hdd and download an old firmware? Or it's something harder?
Also can I expect to play ps2 games on ps3 with some modding + emulation? That would be a deal breaker for me, considering PS3 has usb 2 and decent lan/wifi capabilities too.
Generally I'm a retard when it comes to modding, as I've only modded a wii with the shitty disc swap method, can you softmod the ps3 and put some emulators / play ps3 isos and ps2 games off hdd? I don't really care about online at this point.
>>126952579
baka, senpai
>>126952660
No, that's not how it's done. You have to downgrade it via a e3 flasher, which requires some soldering (there are solder-less versions out there), and isn't noob friendly.
I've got CtrBootManager already set up. What exactly should I do to upgrade Menuhax? Seems like CBM is kind of tied to it.

>>126952660
It's harder, but doable if you can follow instructions.
You need to get a piece of hardware like this.
You disassemble the PS3, place the hardware in, copy the firmware off, patch it and put it back.
No soldering necessary, just don't do anything stupid.
You can use an emulator on the later fat models and all slim models, but the first fat ones have hardware support for PS2 games.
Once you have CFW, you can stick ISOs on the hard drive and they will play.
>>126952751
http://wololo.net/2013/03/31/playstation-2-classics-algorithm-released-and-retroxmb-teaser-what-does-this-all-mean-for-you/
What about this tho? It's from 2013, I know.
So I'm supposed to look at fat models if I want to softmod them and be able to emulate stuff? Or what's the deal here?
>>126952660
using the right cfw, you can play ps2 backups either via iso or pkg method.
>>126953054
That's about using Sony's emulator to play PS2 games.
>>126953054
See >>126953021 and >>126953083
Essentially, all models can play ps2 backups now.
hey /v/, what game are you playing while waiting for free games?
>>126953257
>>126953054
>>126953021
Very interesting, thank you for helping a retard like me understand.
Now I'm very interested. Maybe can you point me to an exact model I should be looking for to have a perfect "emulation" experience? Slim or fat? If I recall fat models have problems with the newest ps3 games but have the hardware support for ps2 (and perhaps other console emulations). While I'm shopping for a new ps3 (used, of course) should I look into any particular firmwares? Or model? If I buy one that is already too updated I'll have to buy the e3 flasher, but eh.
Also is the modding necessary (place the firmware to play ps3 isos and the ps2 backups) doable or it's complicated? Am I automatically fucked from online if I softmod the ps3?
I hate being this fucking annoying but I want to understand desu senpai

take your own advice then faggot
does anyone have the complete folder of badge arcade badges released so far?
>>126953681
That's the thing. It isn't going to be perfect on any model unless it's a fat, and even then...
You can go online, but I wouldn't risk it, especially since most people used all of the IDPS (think model number) to go online, and Sony banned most of 'em.
Modding isn't complicated if you READ the material before just jumping in.
Just remember, you need a model that's on 3.55 (so you're probably going to get a slim, as fatties that high are really really old now), and you're going to want to probably use a rebug firmware.
>>126953681
If you want hardware compatibility, you want one of the first fat PS3s. CECHA or CECHB.
Models up to CECHE have partial PS2 support, slightly better than total emulation and worse than full PS2 support.
All subsequent PS3 models have purely emulated PS2 support.
Additionally, to be able to downgrade the PS3 must have been on 3.55 firmware when it came from the factory. That includes all fats and most slims, but just check the list here to see which work.
http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/SKU_Models
Online works but it's possible you might get banned. There are patches you can use to be safer.
>>126953862
ooh, so fucking original. I'm scared.
>>126953651
Picross 3D. I gotta be ready for the second one.
>>126953998
I see.
Do you happen to know if boxed slims (basically brand new, never powered up once) are on a good firmware (3.55 or lower)? I might just pull the trigger on a new one (maybe off shelf from some ebay website) instead of buying an already (probably) updated one from some kiddo.
Also I'm kind of tired of being a faggot, do you happen to know if there are websites like gbarl for ps3 softmodding where I can shitpost like this and not bother anyone?
>>126954265
They more than likely are on a higher firmware.
I ended up buying my (second) slim off of ebay, on a hackable firmware.
>>126954141
Overall if you want PS2 stuff it's better just to get a softmodded PS2, they're easy to get and they won't YLOD
>>126954203
these are the type of replies we get to shit like that now? kek gbatemp really is leaking over
>>126954425
I should reiterate, I bought a slim ps3 that was listed on 3.55.
Do what >>126954436 says and just get a ps2 if all you want to do is play ps2 games, or just emulate.
>>126954141
>>126954425
see >>126954265
Also, does the situation change with the m chassis? Basically the last styling rehash, with the tray loading system? (pic related)
My wild guess is that they've added extra hardware fuckery to prevent softmodding on these, should I just avoid them?
>>126954670
No super slim was manufactured on 3.55 firmware. A lot of slims weren't. So they cannot be softmodded.
post your home screen!
>>126954806
>I'M NOT A PRINCESS
>>126954752
Ah, thought so. You can't even e3 flash those I suppose, right?
Also off my local country eBay there are a few 3.55 models available, in the end should I just choose a fat or a slim? I trust your judgement.
>>126955095
You can't e3 flash them.
As I stated before, I bought a slim and it's fine. I'd rather have a slim anyway, since most of the fatties problems were fixed with the slim's designs anyway.
>>126954806
I've got no idea how I should sort my icons/place badges. This is one of the wallpapers I'm using, though
>>126952170
>>126955095
No. You can only downgrade as far as the firmware the PS3 was originally manufactured on.
I'd say a slim is better because the majority of fats don't have much better PS2 support. The ones that do have poor longevity. Be certain that it's either 3.55 or downgradable.
>>126954806
I had more games but i ereased them to play them on my XL when the exploit comes out
>>126955245
I see thanks.
One last thing, what should I look for (in terms of modding tutorials and stuff like that) if I want the ps3 isos off of hdd and ps3 emulation software?
>>126955507
>One last thing, what should I look for (in terms of modding tutorials and stuff like that) if I want the ps3 isos off of hdd and ps3 emulation software?
Pick Rebug as your CFW. Enable cobra and webman.
You don't need any extra tools now. You can use your standard file manager to transfer stuff to the internal HDD with wifi/ethernet - or if you prefer, you can use an external one. The PS3 will just recognise them in the XMB.
Here's mine. I used to have the FE badges but because badge center sucks, I have yet to reinstall them.
Perfect theme for the perfect 3ds.
>>126955507
In terms of tutorials..? I'm not really sure, now that I think of it. I haven't used a tutorial in such a long time.. I don't think I can answer that question, I'm sorry.
In terms of emulation, if you just get one (of the many) cfw's that have cobra features, you should be able to play ps2 backups. I just stick with Rebug because I haven't had any issues with them. Multiman will manage your ps3 and ps2 iso's with covers and such. You can also FTP games to the hdd without having to do much work.
Anyone could help a 10.3fag with browser hax?

post link so i can download this, I need new themes
Does anyone recommend 3ds users on 9.9 to update to 10.3 now?
Haven't been here for a month or so. Glad that there is finally development now. So with the recent hax that were announced the minimum for what was 9.2 piracy was pushed to 10.1?
>>126956152
Only if you really want ironhax and don't already have it.
>>126956217
Why?
It's easier (not really safer) to just downgrade to 9.2 and let people decide from there.
>>126955750
>>126955830
I just read a few tutorials real quick
So basically the thing is

>usb drive set to FAT

>download the Rebug pup file, with cobra and webcam
>go on ps3 and update via storage

That's it? Then I just plug in any ext hdd and start playing ps3 and ps2 isos? That's too good to be true.

only if you dont already have a form of hax. if you do dont update otherwise you should and install menuhax

Yep, just use readthethreadyoudumbfuckhax.
>>126954806
>>126956385
yes I did
>>126956316
It is that easy.
Enable cobra, webman and QA flag once you install rebug.
Remember that the PS2 support is emulated.
If you want PSN access you need PSNpatch.
>>126956414
which theme is that ?
>>126956129
I uh, got it like earlier this year, I'm not sure where to download it... an anon made it for me.
>>126956316
That's it. Just remember, you don't have to use an external hdd, you can use an internal one.
guys, I haven't touched my 3ds in ages and I vaguely remember that the gateway doesn't save your savegames when you did certain things. Can anyone confirm this or is my memory just full of shit?
>>126956250
>>126956385
Thanks. I already have ironhax on 9.9 so I guess I will just keep waiting for a kernal hack for another year, or two, or three.... ;_;
>>126956586
>you don't have to use an external hdd, you can use an internal one
PS2 support is only for internal HDD according to Rebug's page.
>>126956626
That was before, now saving works perfectly
>>126956631
no probably a year tops. if were being optimistic i would honestly expect it sometime next month
>>126956716
I wouldn't know, I just use internal for everything.
>>126956723
Sweet, thanks. I'm also a bit paranoid of just leaving it in sleep mode. is there anything that can go wrong and should I just shut off completely every time, or am I worrying for nothing?
>>126956749
Do you think
>Apparently, the Wii U and 3DS use the same fucking keys... LOL
might have something to do with it? I remember when the 3.55 PS3 was hacked the master encryption key to sign software for the PSP was also found, completely "breaking the PSP wide open". Is this a similar situation with the Wii U and 3ds?
Is eshop via HANS still working?
I'm trying to access it but it just gets stuck at a black screen. I'm using ironhax on 9.8.0
>>126955830
>you STILL use my theme
now that's dedication
did you manage to make it work with menuhax?
>>126957126
> Is this a similar situation with the Wii U and 3ds?
basically yeah. the wii u is getting its IOSU exploit next month too
>>126957261
No, you'll have to update if you want to access the eshop. Personally, I would recommend just waiting for memchunkhax2 unless you REALLY need something on the eshop.
>>126957261
eShop is x.x.x-28 only. read the OP friend
>>126957856
It's called read the thread, and keep trying because browserhax isn't stable and takes several tries.
