Homebrew 10.2.0-28 is now available

[ZOOT]

What FW version did you (or your brother) have before update? AFAIK, payload for FW10.1 should work on latest FW too...

9.9.0-26E

I think it's because of one of the exploits used called gspwn, which is due to a design flaw in the GPU. It's not trivial to fix.

Not only this. Since Cubic Ninja source code have a bug and was only released as a cart (here in US/EUR at least), even if Nintendo released a patch all you would do is simple uninstall the patch to restore the bug. And it seems Nintendo is not interested in patching games on the fly like Sony does (and I don't even know if 3DS has this capability), so they can't create a patch that fixes Cubic Ninja in the firmware either.

Well, unfortunatelly just before to update the console you (or your brother) had to update IronHax... Your only life-saver now is using NinjHax (and you need a Cubic Ninja cartridge or Sky3DS).

Sadly, yes... Indeed, nobody shouldn't update their console to latest FW!

I suppose they can just fix gspwn or release a patch for CN with a firmware update that forbids running CN without the patch

Any reasons or something? lol

Because apparently vulnerability is on hardware itself (GPU)!

That does mean, of course, that they could release an "updated" model with a fixed GPU and not tell anyone. They might have even started doing that now. Sort of like when Apple replaced the iPhone 3GS bootrom at some point.

9.3+ kernel exploit is a meme

Indeed, it's called "RickRollHax" (if you don't know that)!

Getting back on topic, though, it does make you wonder how they'd go about fixing gspwn, and how long it'd take.

There probably are some, they're just kept secret by the people who found them.

Only Nintendo knows about that

Are you making fun of me or what? ... Because I didn't say any joke or something like that!

They can't simple screw customers like this. I mean, even Sony wouldn't disallow execution of games without patch, and Sony has a much stricter policy for hacks than Nintendo.

I would just like to point out that, on the Wii U, if you delete existing update data for games, you can't start them (even if you take the console offline). However, if there is new update data that hasn't been fully downloaded yet, you can still start the software. The Wii U is a home console though, so that might be why (not saying it won't be brought to the 3DS though).

Also, Nintendo wasn't the developer of Cubic Ninja, so I don't think they would be able to develop and release a patch so easily.

Who actually plays cubic ninja e.e

Also if I'm reading the thread correctly, my ironhax will still work on the latest firmware so I can go ahead and update right?

My friend who has N3DS 9.9 N3DS wants to update to 10.2. How can I set up Ironhax that will work on 10.2. I heard some people updated from 9.9 to 10.2 and Ironhax stopped working, which ended up requiring a CN copy for Ninjhax 2 to reinstall Ironhax.
