Ninjhax 2.5: exit to home menu
If you wanna return to the home menu without rebooting, follow the below steps.
Note: we'll need *hax 2.5, because it has a return-to-the-hbmenu function.
But! If a yellow screen shows up, RELEASE the buttons as FAST as possible, or else it'll softlock.
If a program fully crashes (like invalid pointer access/write) and freezes, you can recover from it using the same methods, but there's one caevat:
After you return to the menu, you MUST start a program that's not a system app (browser, game notes, settings, etc.), and not the *hax entrypoint (the app you used to launch *hax) in order to prevent a softlock. I use the .cia version of GameYob, because it's the fastest to open/close
If the homebrew crashes, you can still return to the home menu, and play other games, but the *hax payload will fail to launch with a yellow screen, so that's a restart. Or just use a 3DS game that requires extended memory mode (like SSB), and then launch your *hax entrypoint twice. Why twice? Because the first time it'll kick you out to the home menu without launching the hbmenu HomemenuHax users need to disable HomemenuHax loading, or else your 3DS will softlock on the pink screen. But you can't open any app, because it'll softlock with a black screen (the settings app has sound tho... weird ), and it'll be almost impossible to turn your 3DS off, so that's a negative. But you still can launch DS cards though.
That's it! You can now go and try it!
Video proof:
Note: I was pressing L and R with a DSLite
This was tested on a 10.3-E old3DS / HomemenuHax was tested on 9.2.0-20E old3DS

- Hold L + R + dpad-down + B, 'till the bottom screen turns from red to pink.
