Introducing NINJHAX - A Nintendo 3DS Homebrew Exploit!

[spinal_cord]

I was wondering if there's an alternative way to activate the exploit.
The outer camera('s) from my Nintendo 3DS system seems to be broken, so I can't scan the QR code
Will I never be able to install this exploit now on that system?

borrow a 3ds with the same firmware as yours, run the exploit, allow it to save... worth a try, then you can launch the exploit on your own 3ds?

If that were possible, Smealum would have just released it like that instead of messing with QR code stuff.

How would you get the save on without the QR then?

Wait, ctrulib doesn't support "printf"? That's all I can really do in C right now.

So it's one retail cart per 3ds, correct? There's no way to save two QR codes for two different consoles with different firmware versions atm?

you can use one game across multiple consoles just keep in mind tyat the game is needed to run the hbl every time and they need to be on the same firmware

Unfortunatly this doesn't work for me at all...
I've firmware 4.5.0-4E which isn't supported for the expoit. The first version for 4.5 is 4.5.0-7E.

When booting with Gateway (standard mode) and using the QR code for 9.2.0-20E it freezes after running the exploit and is going to the internet browser. I can't do anything at all at that moment.

My game cartridge seems to be useless at this moment.

TTB82 I have The same problem that the exploit only goes to 70% and then the browser is started and the 3DS freeze. Sometimes it works though, but most of the times this happens. I am using a trimmed rom as .3ds. What are you using?

I've bought the original game so I´m using a cardtrige. I tried it on 4.5 system nand and 9.2 emu nand.

Hmm.. I just tested again both with my original cartridge in SysNAND 4.5.0-10E and with the trimmed ROM in Gateway EmuNAND 9.2.0-20E. Tried 5 times with each and it worked every time. Don't know why it was so unstable yesterday. I just hope it will keep working

 

[anthony001]

will the exploit still be there if we update the 3ds firmware?

game exploit mostlikely yes but not the firmware exploit. so you wont be able to use it anymore

 

[KentaZX]

I remember that I have naruto powerful shippuden cartridge and remember that it does have a QR code scanning feature in it too. Do you think Smealum could make a similar exploit for that game without problems?

 

[medoli900]

I still lack Cubic Ninja. I hope it will not disappear completely before I can buy it.
Does 3D work if the parental control is activated (and correctly enter the code when Cubic Ninja start)?

 

[gypsynimrod]

Here's a question that I don't know if has been answered already, but here it goes...

Has anyone tried to run Cubic Ninja! from a Gateway Card and trying to run the exploit that way to install the Homebrew Launcher without needing the official retail cartridge?
Because... Reasons.
(And the game being harder to find than a Nintendo World Championships NES cartridge -,-)

It works fine, but why would you do this? You'd have to add structure to your SD card for the emulators to be read in Homebrew Launcher, you'd have to boot into the game, run the hack through its menu, then launch the emulators.

Or just download the .3ds of the emulators and run them that way from Gateway's menu.

I got two comments on that:
1) I thought the Homebrew Launcher on 3DS got installed into the system, do you have to boot Cubic Ninja! everytime you want to enter HBL? That's rather uncomfortable. XD
2) Some .3DS files for the emulators (if not all) for Gateway ARE NOT compatible with sound as far as I know, only if you install them as a CIA. Anyone has any more intel on this?

1) Yup. No kernel access means booting the game each and every time.
2) True, however, installing as a .cia just poses more connivence than using Gateway's menu.

Interesting.
With the first point clear now, there is no point in getting Cubic Ninja at all, I would only get a Gateway then.
Thanks for clearing that doubt out.

One more question though:
What exactly is a CIA file and how does it work once installed?

My short story of (not) acquring Cubic Ninja:

• Ordered Cubic Ninja online for 9€ on Monday. Sweet!
• Got a reply from the shop on Wednesday, that it isn't in stock and won't be sold again due to pressure by Nintendo. FML #1
• New prices online exploded already, thus costing around 40-50€. FML #2
• So I called a local reseller, whether they have it in stock: They don't, but are able to get one from another store. They'd call back once I can pick it up. Price: 10€. Great!
• Got a call on Saturday: It's here, ready to get picked up! So I drive to the store, get handed the copy of the game and happily hand over those 10 bucks. YAY!
• Back in my car, I unwrap the already damaged plastic wrapping and open up the box: The cartridge is missing. Someone stole it from inside the box. FML #3
• Back to the shop, I return the game, or rather the packaging of the game, and get my 10€ back. Now the game costs 80-90€ online. FML #4

Bottom line:
Fuck this... I'll wait for the next hack!

Dude you are getting into deep (and unnecessary) shit!

Just get a Gateway or save for one.
Seeing how that shitty game and the greedy bastards that own it are skyrocketing the goddamn price off the orbit, you are better of with a Gateway and I think they are now cheaper than buying the game anywhere.
