Not first party confirmed xD

Damn, didn't even think of this. But is the 3DS even powerful enough to emulate it? VB uses a 32 bit processor running at 20 MHz. It's a lot more powerful than the SNES, which some people seem to think the 3DS can't emulate fully.
Either way, there's a damn good VB emulator for the Wii, which you can play in 3D using cheap 3D glasses, if you have a pair.
Let's hope this does not get patched as soon as it gets out.
All I want from this is a Region Free mod and the ability to install retail carts to SD then I'll get a 128 SD class 10 card so my carts remain safe at home.
Yeah, let's benefit the 5 of you that want such an insignificant feature while everyone else gets fucked because of piracy.All I want from this is a Region Free mod and the ability to install retail carts to SD, then I'll get a 128 SD class 10 card so my carts remain safe at home.

Nasty filthy rotten piracy then
Not saying you are going to pirate but that's what you want to be enabled, if games being on your SD card matter to you you should've bought them on the eshop
I'm not one to get digital versions of games available on a physical format, specially on Nintendo's less than ideal account system. Only games I have on my SD card are DL exclusive games. Hell I even remember before launch that Nintendo thought about a system to let you install your games, requiring authentication every X amount of times, but I don't think they've said anything about it since then.
I just want to be able to play my own backups like on CFW PSP and the Wii HBC.
Strangely enough everyone always says it's their own back ups they want to play, I doubt the number of "back ups" that are played by people that actually own a copy of the game is anything more than a single digit percentage

Don't go there.
Devolution for playing Gamecube games on Wii, whilst not perfect, is a decent setup. You have to verify it with the disc.Yup, pirates always ruin it for the rest of us legit customers, and I doubt that will change in the near future. Hopefully home brewers can implement a system that won't allow piracy on the console.
Then it stands to reason that you'll be able to take ten random posters in this thread and point out nine pirates to me.
If it's a hack based on a specific game, I guess there isn't a lot to be excited about.
I'm not terribly knowledgeable on how this one works, but look at how it does on Vita for PSP games. They find a save game exploit, Sony removes the game from PSN to avoid it from spreading too far, a new firmware that fixes it follows in a month at most. Then you're off to choose between keeping the exploit or having PSN access - you can't go online with an outdated firmware.
And in this case, if you're only using for region free only, in a few months games will come out requiring a firmware you don't (and can't) have.
Am I wrong?

Waiting a week or two seems to be really hard.lol. Smealum puts out a joke tweet about how he'll tell someone the name of the game right now if they buy him a Smash 3DS XL. Then someone is offering to do it. The internet, man.
Cheap games available in all regions and with a limited eShop availability:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_3DS_games#Download_Software
(Order by Nintendo eShop (last column))
Dead or Alive Dimensions (eShop Japan only)
Pro Evolution Soccer 3D (2012 & 2013 versions, North America eShop only)
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars (North America eShop only)
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell 3D (NA eShop)
I guess the desired game should be among those 5 games.
Luckily 3DS doesn't have enough digital exclusive releases to keep me from using this and staying off the wifi. The funny thing though is that the need for region free isn't nearly as great as it was a year ago.
How can a hack like this allow hombrew and not piracy ?
the homebrew loader we're about to release will require you to have a specific retail game. the game is also on eShop but not in all regions

I called it. They're just hijacking a game to run additional code, thus it's an user-mode hack. Let's see if the region unlock works.
It's very likely to be DoAD:
1) DoAD is one of the earliest games with a photo-mode and has a in-game photo viewer that only works with it's own photos (I believe it writes extra data to the JPEGs).
2) The photos are written to the SD card using a very simple game-specific encryption, not system-based encryption.
3) Since they claim you can use the eShop version, it can't be a save game exploit because eShop games use system-based encryption (which is very strong and is different for each console unit).
So, the hack is probably a custom made JPEG to be loaded in DoAD's photo viewer.
Some of the posters will be, sure, who I don't know, I'd like to hope there's less on GAF than most sites but who knows, it just riled me up that someone actually was hoping "back ups" become possible

GAF has a policy of not accusing people of piracy without proof. It also has a policy of defending the use of backups. How about you stop with your backups = pirate talk.
The doa photo mode makes sense. Smealum has said in the past that only homebrew runs and not retail code. If he cracked the doa photo encryption then you can encrypt homebrew with it and use an exploit to run it.
Retail encryption has yet to be cracked as far as I know.
