kartdlphax - A Mario Kart 7 semi-primary exploit for the Nintendo 3DS

kartdlphax is a semiprimary exploit for the download play mode of Mario Kart 7. It can be used to run an userland payload in an unmodified 3DS by having it connect through download play to another 3DS with Custom Firmware running the exploit.
More info & download: github.com/mar...

No idea why but I feel hyped about a new 3DS exploit. This particular one is even epic.

[@Gameflixes]

Same. I think it's mostly because it's just so interesting

[@hydrolikeswater]

The most exciting thing is that people will still be able to hack their console after the browser, eshop, and friend system go offline. Still tedious though since you have to ship it off to someone with cfw

@@REAL_Red_Pikminwhy wouldn’t they like you modding their system? They can do so much!

[@tranquility6789]

This looks like it’ll be really useful if I want to mod my friend’s 3ds without my pc

[@casualamber]

Still have to follow the guide though

[@Gabi-enby]

Amazing work bro! Hope Nintendo won't launch some new update for adding stability to this game, lol

[@PabloMK7]

Fun fact: since this exploit is in the download play cia that is sent by the host, a major change to the 3ds firmware would be needed to allow patching download play applications, which I doubt is gonna happen.

[@nothingspecial4232]

they took almost a year to fix a simpler and more dangerous Super Mario Maker 3ds exploit so it will indeed not happen xD

[@Gabi-enby]

@@PabloMK7 Lol, Nintendo got trolled big time 😎 big thanks!

[@Dislopik]

@@PabloMK7 they can just shutoff download play

[@PabloMK7]

@@Dislopik sure, they can also completely delete the game

Great exploit, I would never think modifying a 3ds via download play would be possible but you did it, Good work.

[@sanicboom6443]

Absolutely insane, now I might not even have to flash my flashcard every time I wanna hack someones 3ds, what a legend
