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!

:arrow: Source: smealum's Twitter

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...

You don't need anything besides Ironfall: Invasion off the eShop (fo' free!) for this. If you're running 9.2 and you're using Ninjhax, disregard Ironhax. But if you're like me and you were late to the "get ninjhax b4 9.3" party, update to the most recent firmware, install Ironfall and then wait for Smea to update us. Make sure to stay on 9.9, too

Thing is, I don't have cubic ninja. so I don't wanna risk updating to 9.9 sysnand
Also im using 4.1 sysnand if I update to 9.9 gateway stop work??

The Gateway runs only from 4.x to Firmware 9.2. If you update to 9.3 or higher you will loose the Capabillity to use the Gateway.

Is there any way for me to spoof my eshop version on my 9.2U 2DS, without the need for OoT3D or Cubic Ninja? No Sky3DS or Gateway here either, only the 9.2Uweb exploit at my disposal.

I just tried to run Ironfall on my GW EmuNAND 9.4 and it worked fine. Is that because of some GW patches or do the game actually run on 9.4?

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

So happy it won't require any hardware. Homebrew, here I come!

Can anyone suggest me some good homebrew games and emulators in a private message please? I wanna be ready for the release :3

Looks like those punks at Nintendo Life have reported this hack and the anti-homebrew SJWs are in full force. Well that's a kick to the crotch, now Nintendo will really try to remove the game :rolleyes:

I wish the games that have exploits were kept secret until they were released or didn't end up on the front page of gaming sites for Nintendo to read because now, they will release another shitty "stability" update :glare:

How come this hasn't been posted yet? This is huge!

We were all sleeping I suppose! When I woke up, I saw the tweet and immediately edited the OP. I'm in the process of writing a follow up article when Ironhax is actually released explaining what it is and how to use it, followed by a video tutorial.

So I'm personally on the edge of my seat!

The game is still up (last I checked) and people are still able to download it because nothing has been released. This has been giving people who are interested in homebrews plenty of time to download this game before the release of the exploit. Right now Nintendo doesn't know what the exploit is and thus has nothing to fix yet. Everyone is basically just waiting to see what happens.
This is actually a good thing.
Edit: Plus Nintendo is more than likely watching his twitter more than they are GBATemp.

why wouldn't they take it down yet after all this time...seems kinda fishyy
Because smealum can claim anything or anyone for that matter as a scare tactic to get something pulled. Until there is proof that there is an exploit they cannot act on anything.

is it still up on the eshop?
Yes get it while you can.

Sweet! A cubic ninja-less 2.0 method. It's not kernel hacks but at least I won't need to take the gateway out over and over again . for homebrew... Well for non pasta related items ; 3

Could anyone point me to what this could allow, I have no 3ds hack knowledge and tbh mine is largely gathering dust.

I was thinking of getting a new3DSxl just for xenonblade and the circle pad to get back into MH4.

Will this hack allow backup launching, if so I will pick up a new 3DSxl before the game gets taken down.

If not I won't bother.
