Ah, whatever. I don't know if 3DS Homebrew is something I need - it's likely going to be patched long before anything cool gets released - and neither do I know if DoA is indeed the game that enables it, but I just bought a copy just in case. Who knows how long it will remain as cheap as it is right now if it's indeed THE game. Worst case I've got another fun game for the 3DS.

Pokemon XY and many other games do not allow screenshots to be posted on Miiverse (and the browser does not do image upload either it would seem). Also Miiverse requires an NNID...

in fact it does (if the software has the ability to save directly to the sd card):

all of those were uploaded straight from the sd card through the 3ds browser to abload

It's probably something they could easily change to work similarly to the WiiU with a firmware or browser update

OutRun will be mine....fuck u nintendo!!!!

 

[Anth0ny]

I don't see DOAD anywhere for cheap in Canada... $15 on ebgames.ca but it's out of stock.

 

[Palette Swap]

There are not many cheap old 3DS games that are not out on all eShops (I think this is all that has been tweeted) and it has a potential attack vector via the photo mode.

It is not guaranteed but logically it makes sense to be as it ticks the required boxes.

Technically, Splinter Cell and Ghost Recon are also in that list of eshop games not digitally available in every region and they go for sub-10€ here.

But yeah, DOA sounds very likely.

 

[EloquentM]

Why Isn't the list of games in the op? And what are they?

 

[dallow_bg]

Why Isn't the list of games in the op? And what are they?

List of what games. There's nothing official.

 

[wrowa]

Why Isn't the list of games in the op? And what are they?

Because at this point it's nothing but speculation. Dead or Alive: Dimensions seems to be the most likely game at the moment, but we know nothing for sure yet.

 

[Shiina]

What difference does it make which game is the exploit one?

 

[rjc571]

OutRun will be mine....fuck u nintendo!!!!

Except you probably won't be able to get on the JP eShop with this hack.

 

[Javier]

Hopefully it's DOA because I already own it. I recommend it regardless, it's a pretty good game.

I don't see DOAD anywhere for cheap in Canada... $15 on ebgames.ca but it's out of stock.

It begins.

 

[Letep]

What difference does it make which game is the exploit one?

Because whichever game it is, physical copies will get scooped up quick or the price will increase.

But, yeah, at this point it doesn't really matter because we don't know which game it is.

[Daniel Jackson]

Doad is still pretty cheap here. About 10 to 20 euro. I'm keeping an eye on this. When it's confirmed, I'll buy the game immediately.

It's been so long I'm sure it's intentional. The notes app can display the suspended game's top and bottom screen since launch, but there was never a way to save them, except for Miiverse.

 

[Tempy]

I dunno. I found DoAD to be pretty bad; especially the presentation. The "cutscenes" are very static, low-budget efforts - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBokOruXEf8#t=207

 

[Pancakes R Us]

I really hope it's DoAD. I have the game! Haven't played in ages but did use spot pass back in the day to get the free downloadable content.

 

[Isotope]

Man, I am so tempted to go out right now and get DOA just in case, but if it doesn't end up being the needed game, then I'll have wasted money for a game I'll never play. Hmm...

DoaD is my favorite game on the 3ds and i own a lot of games. The static cutscenes only add to the charm that is DOA.

 

[Gaogaogao]

I hope this works on my 2ds

 

[Danthrax]

WTF how could they release it like that? I'm embarrassed for Tecmo.

 

[Pancakes R Us]

At least is has a sleep mode. I'm pretty sure there was a Blazblue game that didn't go to sleep if you shut the lid...what a joke. I hope that game sold like shit.

It's a fighting game. That's not important at all.

Game is great, except for no online rematches.

 

[terrisus]

So, Dead or Alive: Dimensions to show up on the next NPD now? >.>
:þ

 

[ColtraineGF]

Don't know if it was mentioned, but the release will be this week apparently.

 

[Persona7]

I need to get another copy of this game before it jumps in price. My cartridge fell in a glass of water and I feel like playing it again.

 

[Rich!]

Don't know if it was mentioned, but the release will be this week apparently.

perfect

I'll pick up DOA tomorrow from CEX. I've wanted to play it for a while now (had it at launch for a bit)

If it's not the right game, I'll either keep it or get most of my money back as a tradein.

 

[UncleSporky]

WTF how could they release it like that? I'm embarrassed for Tecmo.

Well it's not all that different from Street Fighter 4 3DS, where all the people in the backgrounds are totally static and frozen.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSvOy_SqNVI#t=18

It's a really good-looking game, the models are awesome, it can run in 60 FPS with 3D off, but they sacrificed the backgrounds for it.

 

[B.K.]

Did I miss something? Did he announce that that Dead or Alive game is the exploitable game?

 

[UncleSporky]

Don't know if it was mentioned, but the release will be this week apparently.

I kind of want to just publicly tweet him and be like "it's DOAD, isn't it." Would that be assholish?

 

[Nyoro SF]

He wouldn't respond.

 

[Dash Kappei]

Oh well, I went ahead and bought DOA new for 10€ shipped from Amazon, I can always send it back if it's a different game...

I just hope we EU owners won't be SOL because the exploit only works on US consoles/firmware, that'd be horrible

 

[Lazaro]

What if the game in question is: Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D.

It has the ability to open and save images and has a built in Photo Viewer (I think) The game had an ability to use photos on the 3DS and convert them into outfits for Snake.

Since the game is quite a bad port, It could be Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D.

It's not that cheap...

Spoiler

it's an unoptimized remake!

 

[friskykillface]

MGS 3D was my first time beating MGS3 and i had the PS2, xbox 360 and PS2 rerelease red box special edition, but never beat them on those systems B^)

but i will pick up a copy of DoA tomorrow just in case, if it works i will import smash to play day 1

MGS 3D was my first time beating MGS 3 as well, and I'm sorry its actually a decent port but unoptimized. I didn't mind using X Y A B to aim. lol.

If its DOA (most likely is) I'll be sure to import it from Europe. Unless I find a cheap copy in-store here in AUS.

I'm personally hoping to get some Retroarch on my 3DS from this exploit.

 

[Lettuce]

So what's the current FW for the 3DS?, guess I should update mine to the latest FW TODAY if I'm not already on it before Nintendo release a counter FW

On another note, will this mean that we could possible get 3D emulator of snes, megadrive, stuff???

Ordered it. Looking forward to playing the game as much as the homebrew now.

As for the 3D stuff, I guess it would be theoretically possible to split out some layered backgrounds for a 3D effect as well as Super FX games, but I wouldn't bank on it. Even if they figured out a way, I can imagine performance taking on hell of a hit.

 

[Khaz]

Damn I freaked out, I couldn't find my cartridge anywhere, I was considering buying another copy tomorrow to replace it. Turns out it was tucked in my 3DS, waiting to be played. I played too much digital download I forgot it had a slot lol.

3D Megadrive emulator already happened, It's called the Sega 3D Classics. But it was made by a team of wizards (M2) and each game is heavily tweaked to get 3D. Don't count on a playable generic 3D emulator.

I see no reason why layers cant be arranged in 3D in Snes9x and the like. It would look shit most of the time, but the bg layer in games like DKC2 would be sweet

I guess speed would take a hit though

 

[Aswell]

8.1.0-19 (+E/U/J depending on the region of your 3DS)

 

[Starwolf_UK]

I meant like Wii U where you can bypass using Miiverse when uploading screens.

Speaking of this, does DoA have a patch available as well or not?

A DoAD patch wouldn't help as there would be no need to use the v1.1 patch.

eShop download so far download version 1.0 then you have to get the 1.1+ patches separate. But DoAD only being on the Japanese eShop makes it less of an issue.

Right, but if there was a patch already and this needed it, if there was a 1.2 later, it would probably just download that so you'd go from a 1.0 that didn't work to a 1.2 that didn't work. If there's no patches at the moment though, then that's a non-issue.

There is no auto-patching on the 3DS. At best you would download it automatically but not install it.

For cartridge games you are only notified of it when on the eShop and maybe via spotpass. I don't know any cartridge game that were patched, outside of Mario Kart, and the patch is only required if you try to go online.

I don't understand why everybody is buying a copy of DoaD, nothing says it's this game. So why?!

Sweet to see so many people wanting to play homebrew games on 3DS.

It looks very likely unless it is MGS (which isn't cheap) and the one from CEX is £6 with a £4 trade-in. It's a good game anyway, so I'll keep it regardless, but if it wasn't and it tuned out not to be the case, £2 isn't a massive deal to lose out on for a rental.

 

[Speedwagon]

Wait, so is DOA the exploit game? Does that mean I would need a Japanese copy for my JP 3DSLL? It'd be great if I could make it region-free considering I only have a US OG 3DS.

 

[Hasney]

If it does turn out to be DOA, yes, you'd need the JP version as you'll need to boot it on that console.
