Nintendo 3DS Hacked A Whole Day After Release In Japan

[admin]

Well, that didn't last long. It only took a day, actually less, for Nintendo's new flagship portable console to be hacked. Videos have already appeared on YouTube (see below) showing R4 playing "backup" DS games with impunity on the new 3D console.

Only the DS part of the console has been "hacked" though, with copied 3DS games so far still unplayable, although this is still early days.

Nintendo has promised a new and improved anti-piracy system for the 3DS, and their efforts are working so far (well, a whole day or two after release, anyway), but whether it will remain secure for long remains to be seen.

I have the hackers have got really smart now... maybe there is no stopping them.

To be fair, even with the DSi, the flash cards only worked for DS-mode games and homebrew, so you couldn't use any of the DSi features such as the camera. Supposedly, Team Cyclops, the makers of the CycloDS cards, finally came out with something that could run homebrew that utilizes the camera and faster CPU, and that only JUST came out about a week ago. I've ordered one for me and will check it out soon.

So it's not even surprising that these 3DS cards could only do DS mode.
