3DS is cracked for 24 hours.

Japanese Nintendo's latest 3DS handheld machine was hacked 24 hours after it was released, and hackers use DS (R4) cards to play Nintendo's old games on the new handheld.　　While R4 cards were made for nintendods, hackers showed that they could play old Nintendo games on DS and gameboycolor after inserting R4 cards into the Nintendo 3DS, according to Afterdawn.com. In the video below, two hackers demonstrated how to play the DS version of the "New Super Mario Brothers" on nintendo3ds with R4 cards installed.　　The hackers said in the subtitles that not all flash cards would be able to do so, and that Nintendo would probably delete it from the whitelist. "It's not a 3DS card, it's a R4 card on the DSi, it's impossible to run 3DS games on it," he says. You also can't run 3DS games on any DS card. R4 's design team successfully cracked the 3DS. Nintendo built a ' white list ' on the 3DS, which has all the lists of games that can be run on 3DS. The R4 team modified the list to run their R4 cards on the 3DS. This is not possible without cracking the 3DS system. Expect Nintendo to update the firmware to stop R4. "The High-profile Nintendo 3D handheld game program will be first pushed in the United States on March 27 with 18 games, tentatively priced at $249.99." (Digging the shell net)
