GBAtemp's resident homebrew enthusiast @smealum is just on a roll lately. Coming off of the release of Ninjhax late last year, he's come back again with yet another release of his famous Ninjhax Nintendo 3DS exploit, which again utilizes Cubic Ninja. The 2.0 version of this software allows running of homebrew applications on a Nintendo 3DS supporting firmwares up to version 9.9, the current and latest firmware.

To run Ninjhax 2.0 you need the following. Instructions linked below as well:

• A 3DS, 3DS XL or 2DS console with a firmware version between 9.0.0-X and 9.9.0-X. X can be any digit.
• An SD card compatible with your 3DS (the one it comes with will of course do).
• A copy of the game CUBIC NINJA, either from retail or eShop.

Wait, 9.9.x is the latest FW, right? :o

What about the New 3DS?
It's not listed and that's getting me worried

sorry, but... what's this hax actually do ? Or rather, is there any reason to get this over sticking with the Gateway method? I could see this perhaps if I suddenly had to get an n3DS and couldn't launch the gateway, but yea.

It's just a pointless homebrew exploit. Can't even play pirated games, so no there's definitely no point in it over a Gateway or Sky3DS.

oh look, another one of those "i'm not interested in homebrew therefore it's pointless" people. how fun.

I said no such thing. I am asking what is different about this, or is it primarily a new version that works on current firmware?

It primarily works on the latest firmware, 9.9 at present, and runs a hell of a lot faster for applications than it did previously. If anything it's the cleanup and stability version.

That's all I needed to know.

Thanks!

 

[breaktemp]

Neat, and thanks for linking a place to order the game.

* that is one pricey 3DS game *

@smealum

Thanks again for your continued work !!

I am looking forward to some homebrew streetpass games "

But doesn't this version of Ninjhax break apps that previously worked?
Or were these just reports from clueless people who don't know how homebrew on Ninjhax works?

 

[Adeka]

homebrew is THE BEST!

 

[moneychild]

Not really interested in this but keep up the good work. People like you inspire others to make things that I am interested in.

Noob alert!!!!!!

So does this mean that I can install CFW on any 3DS until Nintendo patches it?

No. NH2.0 allows homebrew only on 9.3+.

My appreciation. I am glad I did not sell my cubic ninja or my gateway. What kind of app can be installed on ninjrhax 2.0?
