Within a few minutes of the 3DS console being in the shops in the Land of the Rising Sun, a video appeared on YouTube which showed the beast being hacked.
Nintendo is believed to have spent a fortune trying to lock in the 3DS and limit what it could do. However, if the video is real, it is a walk in the park to break into the console and do what you like. In fact the hackers appear to have made the 3DS even more appealing once it is hacked.
The YouTube video posted by the R4i group showed hackers who have managed to get the 3DS to run older, pirated DS games using a third-party flash memory cartridge.
The hackers claimed that they have been able to modify the 3DS's built-in 'white list' to allow the machine to use the R4 memory cart.
Nintendo may not be too worried about the hack at the moment. The release of the 3DS has been a big success for Japanese video games giant Nintendo. Of 400,000 consoles made available to retailers for the launch, 371,326 units were sold on the first two days of release.
However comments posted on the video suggest that the hack could push the European launch date back as Nintendo try to fix the security breach.
R4i expect Nintendo to release an update blocking third-party memory carts before we see the gear in the EU.
However the question remains as to whether it is worth a company's while to lock in users into Jobs' Mobesque walled gardens when they can be eventually breached by clever coders. When the great unwashed is never going to try and jailbreak anything, there will always be a small number who want to do something clever with their machines that others can't. Playing cat and mouse games with them usually comes at the expense of the ordinary user.

Day one and Nintendo 3DS already subject to hackers
Day one and Nintendo 3DS already subject to hackers
not even out of its infancy, and already the Nintendo 3DS has been hacked. Destructoid reports that a handful of Japanese fanboys used an R4 card to play original DS games. In order to run the games on the 3DS, the gamers edited a file built into the device’s firmware which allowed the R4 card to enable the older titles.
While the hack itself isn’t terribly sophisticated, it is fairly embarrassing for Nintendo to suffer any infiltration this early in the 3DS’ release. The handheld gaming system was specifically designed to thwart pirates and hackers alike. Earlier this month, a Nintendo hacker was arrested when he tried to blackmail the company by releasing user account information.
Gaming and console companies have become involved in increasingly complicated relationships with the hacking community. Microsoft recently appears to be conceding some its anti-hacking efforts by releasing the Kinect SDK (even though it was beat to the punch by a third-party firm), after initially threatening to look into legal action. Some – Sony comes to mind – seem hell bent on stifling piracy at any costs. And those costs are pretty significant, including penalties like isolating a growing segment of its user base and appearing to disregard any innovation its gamers have to offer.
The nature of the 3DS operation has some saying it isn’t a true hack, but definitions aside, it seems like it’s only a matter of time until the 3DS is subject to development of Kinect-like proportions. The group that took on the 3DS, who refer to themselves as R4i, note that others out there should expect Nintendo to issue a firmware update shortly that will disable the operation. Even still, after saying something like the “heyday of piracy” has come and gone, you sort of had it coming. Check out the hack in action below.
