Rumor: Nintendo 3DS cracked

http://www.examiner.com/video-game-in-national/rumor-nintendo-3ds-cracked-flash-cards-potentially-incoming

If rumors are to be believed, the future is looking dim for the Nintendo 3DS and the system hasn't even launched yet. Despite some negative feelings surrounding the said handheld due to a reported short battery life and region-locking, things are becoming somewhat worse. A group of hackers are saying they can produce flash cards and have cracked the system.

According to a post on Gamrade.com, a group of individuals have claimed to having a 3DS in their possession, analyzed it, and are certain they can create flash cards for the system. If they do have a 3DS in their hands, the chances of it being similar to the other units that have leaked are high, which means the system's OS has yet to be installed on the unit and makes these claims harder to fully believe.

Details are incredibly vague on this rumor and nothing may come from it. Let's hope this information remains a rumor and doesn't become truth. With restrictions like region-locking in place, though, hackers will be prone to the system.

I would not be surprised if the ds get cracked a few days after launch but before launch that's insane

I think we've learned something from this:

Don't piss off hackers.

Now if only Nintendo & Sony can get this.

Thats great it means region lock is no longer a problem :P.

looks like the 3DS is doomed now

But you have to admit SONY did give the hackers a hard time 4 years to hack a system is a great accomplishment :P.

I heard a rumor that the PS4 was already cracked. :shock:

And if they left Linux in, piracy would still happen

Just like the DS ... Which sold how much million?

And the PS1, PS2, Wii, Xbox, Xbox 360, PC and now PS3.

Pirates don't seem to be hurting the industry THAT much.

ultraking

Piracy and homebrew didn't doom the DS.

No way.. The thing isnt even out yet, we dont even know how the system is even going to work.. Nintendo has def. worked on some ways to fight piracy and hasnt said much other than some games might require software updates or something in order to play them and if crack systems connect to the internet nintendo can brick them. So, not sure this is true in any way

I'm not really that concerned. a s***ton of people have probably hacked the DS and Wii and look at how they turned out.

And look how well they did, despite rampant piracy on the PS1 and PS2 :)

while I don't think this should be taken seriously until proven I do hope they can fix the region lock problem fast, maybe I don't have to wait for the 3ds light then

I do not believe it it's too early. But I guess a radom post by an anonymous source from a Chinese website gets a full editorial.

Go Here an See Why It's Not Credible If you try and go to the site where the message originated, a picture of that zombie girl will flash up.

3ds does not have a short battery life lol ,5 hours with 3d and max settings is enough

and this wont hurt nintendo

heres why , ds sells alot ,

thats all they care about , is their strong sales,

and with the impressive line up theyll get those sales,

unlike psp , psp never had a strong line up ,

and psp only gets 3 hours max on a charge, without no 3d

lol so saying the 3ds has bad battery life is underestimating , ,

compared to a some what as powerful hardware 5 hours on 3d max brighntness is better then what it could achieve

Well... that was fast.

I guess Nintendo has to redo the system or they're doomed, right??

Oh no, this is.............what exactly will happen?

Well, I'm not tracking down those threads, but I clearly remember some comments (even a topic title IIRC) with something along "time to pack your bags".

AND in all honesty, would it be really hard for you to believe the lems have said such a thing when (I think) you must be aware they kept looking for that actual final nail on Sony's coffin??

Yes I would considering the Xbox has been hacked for years, and that piracy sells hardware.

A PS3 owner regarding the 3DS, which was probably sarcasm anyway.

Fail to see where Lems come into this. Unless you where just trying to take a swipe at Xbox fanboys

Justlike my comment, but this sarcasm had its base on what I've been telling you.

And ok, you don't believe me... it's cool. I know what I saw.

fake. how would a bunch of hackers get their hands on a 3DS before release date? Nintendo doesnt just give one out like that. Even if its true, which is unlikely, it wouldnt be much off a problem to 3DS owners. Flashcards have always existed for the DS, DSlite, and DSi. It wouldnt affect me if people pirate games, so how does this make the future of the 3DS look dim? NintendoNite

Go here and click on the website link if you don't believe me.

I can believe this is true...but not in the way people are thinking.

It will be very easy to create a flashcard for the system...that plays pirated software created for the original DS. That will happen very quickly.

Cracking the system to allow play of of pirated DSi and 3DS software..is a very different matter.
