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...

Do we download the update, too? Dumb question, I think not, right?

Edit: Just read on Reddit that you can download 1.1 and it won't hurt. But, I wouldn't bother.

Nintendo hasn't pulled it yet!? Damn they're slow to the punch.
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.

They pulled eshop ninja less than 24 hours after the first ninjhax announcement.

So, now people can run homebrew on the 3DS on any firmware? Even if one is running 9.9.0-26U? What??
Nobody can do anything with anything yet. That's why I haven't jumped all over this. There is an incredible lack of information regarding what anybody may be able to do. All we know is that it apparently provides homebrew, and based on experience from others who can't launch it, it apparently only works on 9.5+. That is the extent of the information gleaned from a Tweet and people downloading the game.

Alright, thanks for the clarification. Then basically, we know nothing but bare bones and just hypothetical stuff about it. Still interesting, though.

Is that totally true? No workarounds? If so, I'll edit the first post to reflect that information.
From what I've read digging around in the thread, there are no workarounds. Unless you install some kind of cryptofixed CIA which doesn't exist yet to my knowledge.

Edit: there might be a very long and arduous workaround, but since this hasn't been released yet no one can confirm whether or not it works.

I went ahead and updated the first post with the relevant information. Thanks for confirming it.

Then Nintendo is asleep at the wheel with this one
To be fair, he announced that on November 18th, in the middle of the week. I don't know how NoA operates, but most businesses either take the weekend off completely, or really slow down during the weekend hours. smea waited until Friday evening to announce this one. I'd expect Nintendo to pounce on it by tomorrow afternoon.

    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

    @Xdqwerty, Many of them did before colour television was common.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because black and white TV was in-expensive.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It certainly wasn't inexpensive it cost the same as a new car back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, take into consideration how economy was back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why they listed inflation rates
