Logically that would make sense, but its damn Smea and he is sneaky. Reading over his tweets, he didn't imply it was an eshop download.
So how can nintendo block it? smea said that you need to grab it fast before nintendo block it and tell your friends to do the same
the only way i can think is that nintendo take the game from eshop

Ah crap, lol. That doesn't sound good :(

Honestly, if it's only persistent hack and you have to stay on lower firmware, it wasn't for me to begin with.

Smea told people not to update to 9.9
Then how do we download the Pokemon Rumble World & Mario with Photos from Eshop without 9.9? Isn't the hype all about free homebrew launcher without any purchase?

I meant not everyone is on <=9.2 for firmware Spoof or on <9.9 & >=9.2 to have Ninjhax 2.0 with a CN copy.

Looking through his twitter, I just see him being snarky to people who aren't patiently waiting for his instructions or whatever and are acting prematurely. Link to the "9.9 is no go, too bad" would be helpful if it happened.

Yeah....

Made a thread on /r/3DSHacks about all we know so far (been keeping that sub up to date the past few days :P). That's really confusing.

if you were on 9.2 you wouldn't even need FW spoof,you could just install the CIA

IKR. However, the confusion is between "Smeal told people not to update to 9.9" vs "Get Pokemon Rumble World & Mario with Photos apps from Eshop (require firmware update if >9.2 & <9.9), in case Nintendo pull it down when the new exploit's released".

Maybe he's gonna spoof the eShop? If so, most likely a kernel exploit.

I dunno, this is getting a little confusing -_-

I updated to 9.9 when NH2 was released and Smea said might as well. I can't complain, because it's his work and it's free, but I'd be pretty disappointed if I should have stayed on 9.5.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if 9.9 people are already screwed. The thing is, though, Smea said straight up that it's perfectly fine to update to 9.9 before Ninjhax 2.0 released, because he tested it and said it worked. For the persistent exploit, it's entirely possible that he must have discovered it after Ninjhax 2.0 came out. What wasn't a good move on his end, was hinting at an eShop game for the new exploit and then saying to wait, because way too many people are going to get the games that he's been leaking to get their systems ready, meaning those people HAD to update to 9.9 if they didn't have the games downloaded before. I'm not bashing Smea or anything, and I absolutely love what he's doing for all of us, but I don't think that was the best way to get people's attention on what he's up to. I honestly have no problem with using Cubic Ninja every time to boot into Ninjhax, though this new exploit would be super convenient. Here's another thing though, a tweet from him said, as a reply to someone else saying that they had to update to 9.9 to even access the eShop, "if it isnt dont blame me, i was pretty clear about the fact that people should wait for instructions..."

Of course it's not Smea's fault, but the way he said it, he must have not tested it on 9.9 at the time just yet. No word about 9.9 had been said officially since then, I don't think. All I'm hoping is that the folks on 9.9 are fine. I updated to 9.9 before Ninjhax 2.0 came out because Smea officially said that it works, and people who were already screwed at 9.8 said "Why not? At least what I want will work."

If this doesn't work on 9.9, so be it. That's like someone posting a brand spanking new and amazing CFW that they made, then people getting mad at it not working on 9.9 because it's apparently new. I'm very excited to know how this persistent exploit works, but all in all, it's not really supposed to affect anyone who can't use it, because everyone can at least USE Ninjhax. It's not anything like ARM9 getting cracked.
