This is a fascinating write-up. As somebody who's dabbled with homebrew a bunch over the years I've always wondered how one figures out exploits from scratch.
Nintendo is pretty litigious about this sort of stuff but I guess because this is such an old system they're able to get away with documenting exploit process like this.
Does anybody on HN know of other similar eng-focused guides for this sort of stuff out in the wild, or authors to follow?
The International Journal of Proof of Concept or GTFO (https://www.alchemistowl.org/pocorgtfo/) is a fun compilation of reverse-engineering efforts with a bent towards older systems - issue 0x2 has an article on getting RCE on a Tamagotchi :D
