Homebrew Browserhax is dead (on 9.9 and up)

[Coleman_C18]

Are any Old3ds users being blocked? Maybe this is a New3ds thing for 9.9 and up?

My 2ds did not come with 9.9, though im unsure what it was out of the box. I also had only used browser hax after smealum said something was up on twitter. I was using themehax until then.

Keep update us with the status of your 3DS browser tomorrow.

It's blocked on my sister's 9.9 o3dsxl, which hasn't seen any homebrew since the system transfer + reset.

Will do!

Welp that pokes a hole in that theory

Note the range of targeted firmware affected by this: 9.9+. 9.9 is also the highest firmware update comes in latest card game (demos of the new games were out when we already had firmware 10). At the time of Ironhax release, not many had both Ironfall game and <9.9 firmware. Many had to update to 9.9 to get Ironfall. So freehax users are pretty much targeted and cornered. Help lord @smealum .

Would it be possible to set up SmashHax once to get ThemeHax running properly, or no?

Yes it's possible. I just don't know how to broadcast the pcap files. lol

Ok, I've decrypted the update partions on 9.8 and 9.9 games, and I can confirm 9.8 does NOT have the browser update but the 9.9 update DOES.
Another interesting thing is that:
0004003000009402.cia
0004003020009402.cia
are both only 461KB, far smaller than that of a full browser cia, leading me to believe they are just exefs patches (or some type of patch).

They're dummy browsers that simply tell you to update the console, like the old New3DS 8.1.0-0J browser icon.

Using any other working entry point, you can use the offline themehax installer until it officially works. You just have to install the hax 2.5 payload manually since the offline installer only installs 2.1.

EDIT: So to answer. Yes. You can set up SmashHax to get Themehax working, but like I said, you have to do it manually with the offline installer since that hasn't been updated yet. The tutorial is below.

So if Nintendo is dead and gone some time in the future, and you updated with a 9.9 game, your browser would essentially be bricked. Shitty thing for them to do if true.

More or less.

Not sure if Nintendo will go as far as to block an offline app or game. So,I'm sure Ironhax is safe.

I'm now kinda freaked out for this and want to install themehax as a plan B in case something happens to IronHax, is it possible to install themehax now that I have my N3DS browser blocked? I just checked

 

[tivu100]

More or less.

Any lawyer here? Do we have a case if let's say, new year Nintendo's gone, we bought brand new 3DS from Walmart, update it with cart to 9.9 and browser got bricked by this update snag?

You have Ironhax so you can use that to install it.

 

[Viri]

Wow, Nintendo is getting crafty with their updates, maybe they'll include a stealth way to update our themes next, so they can kill Themehax, :/.

You don't need to be a lawyer to know this is a stupid question.

Use HBL to install offline themehax, then download ropbin 2.5 and renamed after the ropbin generated by themehax. Replace the old ropbin with the new 2.4 ropbin. Back up your SD card. Save it on PC and cloud.

You have to give up themes if you want themehax permanently.
