Homebrew: get IRONFALL from 3DS eShop before Nintendo takes it down, it's free

CLSODpOUYAAXwQn.jpg

Famous 3DS hacker @smealum just posted a statement on his Twitter feed informing us that the game IRONFALL, currently available for free on the Nintendo 3DS eShop, contains security breaches potentially allowing anyone to run 3DS homebrew.

When I mean anyone it really is anyone, including owners of the New 3DS, under any firmware version. See update below. Get it fast before Nintendo takes it down!

Nathan Drake Update: It's being reported that the game will only actually boot on 9.5+ currently. Please keep that in mind.

Ericzander Update: According to Smealum on Twitter, the Ironhax exploit will NOT require Cubic Ninja or Ocarina of Time. The game has been taken off of the European eShop.

smealum Update: the Ironfall hack will result in the same possibilities as the Ninjhack - homebrew, regionfree, custom themes, tdvs...

That's because he hasn't done anything yet. Nothing has been released, thus there's no reason to pull it, nor any proof that he has done anything. There's no videos, no real pictures, nothing, just a twitter post. If Nintendo pulls it now and say, nothing happens and he releases nothing, they look the fools who fell for an empty threat.
imagine nontiendo releasing a big tittle like new zelda, smea makes a prank, says he found exploit, imagine the money lost nintendo had if they removed it from the store lelelel

One thing for sure, retail copies will be sold out in mere hours and pop up on Ebay for 80€/$.

I'm just curious why it would matter. I mean, you already have a solution for everything 3DS related. This is more an alternative for people over 9.2 than anything else.

Well this possibly means cubic ninja wouldn't be needed everytime you wanted to boot home brew launcher..... Right?

Just downloaded it. Hopefully it won't require Cubic Ninja at all, since I won't have any spare money until October ;-;

I'm not sure what's going on, but I have tried a converted .3ds version which works on 9.4 gateway emunand (eur). (I took the free campaign part, and it booted the level just fine).

Honestly, I have no idea what the deal with Ironfall running is. The "DOWNLOAD IRONFALL NOW" or whatever thread is a mess I can't be bothered to dig through. I just know this much about Ironhax and its relevance:
1) It will apparently offer a free homebrew solution to anybody who doesn't already have access to one and is primarily directed at those over 9.2.
2) It is only useful for those over 9.2. Anybody 9.2 or below likely already has invested in other options that do everything they want, or at the least they have plenty of access to various options. Being able to run the Ironfall access point would really just be for novelty, and I can't see the point in people doing so much work to accomplish that novelty.

Hopefully it will be sooner but we will know soon how it works

People who have access to the eShop, even with a firmware below 9.5, are able to play Ironfall for the record. Same for people who have the .cia version of the game.

One of my 3DSes is firmware 9.2 and it's able to run the game just fine.

It was reported that it won't run on 9.2 and under though I have not launch the game yet on mine.

The key word there is "reported". If people are accomplishing running the game under 9.5, clearly the reports weren't entirely accurate.

I invite any reporters to update the first post with the most relevant information you have. At the same time, keep in mind that the exploit only really matters for those over 9.2, so those rocking CFW and emuNAND setups probably already know what they can and can't do.

My 9.0 3DS will not run the game [legit from eshop] (with or without update) unless I boot 9.9 emunand (gateway or rxmode). It gets stuck on the nintendo 3ds logo (in sysnand, devmode sysnand, and rxmode sysnand)
