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.

Thanks for your hardwork @smealum!
Now I'm thinking... Should I sell my o3DS and get a n3DS???

Homebrew past 9.2? I'm impressed. You beat Gateway to the punch. Nice work. :3

 

[migles]

is it possible to downgrade\install cfw with this?
i like homebrew, but mainly interested on "free games"

no infact its not good to be used on 9.2 or lower

i mean, on a firmware above 9.2, IIRC my 3ds is at 9.7

then you can use what limited homebrew it has

@smealum there will be Ninjhax for 9.2 and below or it will be exclusive to newer versions?

Ninjhax 2.0 have some optimizations that aren't available in Ninjhax 1.0 (I dunno if those are N3DS only).
I have 2 setups, O3DS with 4.2 sysnand and 9.9 emunand, and N3DS that will always have the latest OFW.
I don't want to migrate to ninjhax 2.0 if it won't work in 9.2 or below, I still want my Pasta.

1.1b is best if you're on a new 3ds on 9.0-9.2 since 2.0 kills a lot of homebrew and ruins CFW

Finally, the crying around this forum will stop for a bit. Good job, smeally :20thJuly2015:

 

[doorbell8423]

Can i use cubic ninja rom? i mean run it from gateway, and than scan the QR? what will happen?

 

[Rail Fighter]

Any chance of this eventually supporting CFW?

Thanks for your hardwork @smealum!
I have Golden Mii on my New 3DS now!! hehehe
YOU ARE GREAT!!

Sure wish I didn't miss my chance to get Cubic Ninja at 20 bucks.
Its going for 50 or more on Amazon now.
Really hoping this update gives homebrew scene a good push.

I wish it could work with OOT like that other exploit, my physical copy of OOT has been gathering dust.
Anyway, kudos to Smealum and the other devs behind this.

I second this comment (actually mine is not actually collecting dust, it's still in the parcel from PlayAsia)

I also wonder technically how much different exploiting OOT is from exploiting Cubic Ninja. BTW, if it helps, I'd be glad to send my Japanese copy of OOT to smealum (just PM me) if it can help him "spread the love" to OOT owners.

I hope it doesn't. Most of these "cfw" require some short of install of homebrew to the 3DS internal storage. That blows. With ninjhax, everything can remain safe on the SD card.

 

[Bubbysaur]

Totally awesome. I can play Super Robot Wars UX on my sky3ds when it comes no problem.

 

[Elrinth]

fux yeah! now I just need to save some money for a n3ds with usb video output.
