Homebrew Browserhax is dead (on 9.9 and up)

[zoogie]

I suppose we can assume Nintendo will start shipping new systems without browsers now -- pre-bricked for our convenience

They did it with the launch JPN N3DS, so it wouldn't surprise me.

Glad I kept my cubic ninja, lawl

So it's 9.9 and up right now. I think they'll get to older firmware eventually. Including 9.2. And when that happens, it kills Gateway 3DS doesn't it?

Nintendo can't, unless people on old firmwares install a new 9.9 or higher browser CIA, or update through a 9.9 or higher gamecard (or simply do a system update). The kill switch was only added to the browser starting with 9.9.

quickly downgrade device from 9.2 to 4.x, long live Gateway

Ah ok. That's good then.

Please read last few pages. What 9.9 and up has is a dummy browser. When this dummy browser is triggered it bricked the browser unless you do an internet update. There's no known dummy browser known for <9.9 as far as we know.

When you're at it, install MSET for Gateway and back up your NAND, then delete browser too.

Hide your wife, hide your kid!

When will we get browserhax for N3DS 8.1.0-0J? Wait a minute... What the browser version does "-0J" part indicate?

 

[daxtsu]

Then how do you explain all of the people stuck on N3DS 8.1.0-0J that have no web browser?

sorry I cant explain any more man! but my N3DS came with FW 8.1.0-0J or near that had browser.

There was an update a few days after launch I think, to 8.1.0-19J or something, way back then. You were probably lucky enough to get it.

Well it was nice while it lasted

Yeah. Didn't see Nintendo has this trump card up their sleeves hidden until now. In one move, they cornered many homebrew users.

I meant many updated to 9.9+ when smealum hinted at Ironhax. Then it looked easy to get homebrew with TubeHax, Browserhax, ThemeHax that people kept updating to access Eshop until 10.2 release and today.

Of all used 3DS, I think there might be way more 9.9+ than between 9.2 and 9.9 at the moment. Black Monday for 3DS homebrew scene.

Internet browser still works on my old 3DS. Too bad my old 3DS's top screen is broken. I don't even have any way to check what firmware it's on.

Launch system settings through HANS, take a screenshot and check it?
Probably meaningless though, if it works it just means you're below 9.9

 

[BMO]

I get the update notification on my o3DS thats on 9.9 emunand now

but yeah it still hasnt effected my sysnand thats on 9.2

 

[EmanueleBGN]

Actually, I can open the Browser in EU o3DS 9.2 but I can't in EU o3DS 4.5 (both sysNAND)

What's wrong with the O3DS 4.5? Did you get update snag on 4.5 O3DS browser or you don't have browser for it?

 

[EmanueleBGN]

Until yesterday I was able to open it, but now I've tried both my 3DS and 4.5 says that I have to update the firmware to use Browser
