Whether 3ds has been hacked. yes, a little bit

If you haven't noticed the nintendo news for while, you must has missed these news.

Big news announced from yellow8 on 16th December: The nintendo 3DS hack is officially. He also confirmed that it was a save game exploit.

Another hacked named Neimod acquires full kernel control on an unmodified Nintendo 3DS.

here is the quote from them

[07:51:56] <@neimod> full control of the 3ds in kernel mode (arm9 & arm11) from an unmodified 3ds :]

[07:53:03] HHNNNNGGGGG

[07:53:05] <@neimod> the sky is the limit!

[07:53:17] Gib romz plox

[07:53:50] <@neimod> in theory it's possible

[07:53:52] Now then, make it do somethig cool, while displaying GBA TEMP BLOWS somewhere on the screen

[07:54:04] Then enjoy the show

[07:54:36] "neimod: in theory it's possible"

[07:55:02] T-10 seconds before gbatemp quotes that and pisses itself like an excited dog

[07:55:59] nice work neimod

[07:56:02] congrats

[07:57:34] <@neimod> unfortunately, we are elitist bastards who never share anything, so kiss that warez loader goodbye

[07:58:01] So not to try to pry to much info here, but is this something you need a specific game/app for?

[07:58:31] Should i by buying all of the eshop now?

[07:58:35] <@neimod> it's based on a specific card-based game

[07:58:39] Nice

[07:58:58] How patchable would you say this is?

[07:59:06] <@neimod> very easily

[07:59:12]

[07:59:41] Still, amazeing work as always

[07:59:46] Congrats!

[08:00:10] <@yellows8> SD version can be used too but ofc one has to run code first for that.

[08:00:19] Now take careof that pesky region lock!

[08:00:33] Could such a thing be posible with this now?

[08:01:55] <@neimod> yes, with full kernel control anything is possible

The guy also have contacted yellow8 and it is now confirmed that the exploit is done by using a retail game card. So it can be any game card (e.g. The Legend of Zelda, Starfox, etc). When Neimod said that it was a specific card-based game, he meant that it could be any retail game and not a game based on cards such as "solitaire".

Confirmation that it's a save game exploit

What this means is that they are not releasing it yet because Nintendo will simple patch it and that'll be the end of 3DS homebrew. SO, they're trying to tinker with the services so that you have have both the latest update AND the exploit. However, they can launch custom code right now, but they won't release it until there's a way to preserve the vulnerabilities with upcoming system updates and patches. I'd suggest donating to their SEM imaging project so that it can be done quicker and possibly open new kinds of vulnerabilities.
