Course Description

Overview

Learn how hackers overcame Nintendo's enhanced security measures, including a locked processor and AES-CTR encrypted flash, to exploit the device one day before its release. Follow the journey from opening up the console to achieving code execution via a NOP-slide, dumping ROMs and RAMs, and ultimately running DOOM on the Game & Watch. Gain insights into the full flow of device exploitation, from initial examination to writing custom drivers for homebrew. Discover how this feat was accomplished with just a Game & Watch and approximately $4 worth of equipment. Perfect for those interested in retro gaming, hardware hacking, and firmware exploitation, this beginner-friendly presentation by Thomas Roth offers a fun and informative look at the world of console hacking.
