they release it, so browserhax fix can probably come soon, next week?
Not sure, I meant a new update since this homemenyhax is dead on 9.9+ (for some unfortunate o3ds) & 10.2.

Yellows8 asked for submission of themes just couple of days, so that may be indication of new version of Homemenuhax. There isn't be schedule release yet so don't hold your breath.

I say that they will fix it, didn't say any date but I hope soon like next week. if the new home manu hax got released after 1 week or less, browser hax is probably next since it will give a free entry point to everyone and that Nintendo can't probably patch it

It's not that easy. You must understand Nintendo strategy to know that a new browserhax release needs a counter strategy or just wast developer effort.

Nintendo planted let's called it a bomb timer in 9.9+ firmware. When Smealum first hinted freeHax (tubehax + Ironhax), 9.9 was the latest firmware. People with 3DS/2DS between 9.2 and 9.9 if they had not one of the Ironfall game & Youtube app or both installed, they had update to 9.9 to access Eshop (fall right into the trap)! Then we had Browserhax and Themehax, at the time, it's so easy to get Homebrew Launcher so most people keep updating until 10.1 to have Eshop access along with their freehax. Nintendo went into action to kill off freehax: first tubehax -> browserhax & homemenuhax/themehax by releasing firmware 10.2. Then a day or less after Smealum released HAX 2.5 which allows Eshop spoof. Nintendo went for the throat of freehax by trigger the bomb timer to brick most of 9.9+ browser console to force update to 10.2.

Why does Nintendo target homebrew? Because with Hombrew Launcher, less people want to buy theme/DLC/app from Nintendo Eshop as we are seeing more of alternative to Nintendo Eshop app within homebrew community: Pokebank, HANS... It's harder to exploit on latest firmware of course, so Nintendo would like to force as much people to update as possible.

Why does next browerhax release need a different approach? Imagine next week browserhax for 10.2 would be released tomorrow. Nintendo with their man power may release a new firmware with only specific patch for the hax very shortly after. As you know 9.9+ already has this bomb-timer implemented, so once new firmware appears, same old problem we're having now, would re-appear at that future time.

Even with N3DS work-around. Nintendo would be happy with people frustratingly give up the O3DS and boost sale on N3DS. At this moment, Nintendo is pretty much cornering much the freehax users (if you discounting buying N3DS as paid hax :evil:).

There's this brilliant joke:

You must update the system to play a game.
You must update the system to take a picture.
You must update the system to turn on the 3DS.

Go to smealum.github.io/3ds and download the homebrew starter kit, then go onto HBL and there should be an icon called EShop.

Edit: Just saw homemenuhax 2.0 released. Not working on 10.2 if I am not mistaken.

On N3DS yes: https://gbatemp.net/threads/browserhax-is-still-working.400991/
On O3DS: you need paid HAX.


Read above.


The developer of homemenuhax/themehax is working on a new homemenuhax/themehax) so at the moment wait.
Well.. it really won't mean anything if it doesn't come with another entry as well. It only helps if it could install the needed exploited theme directly to sd card via computer, or its useless to the users screwed by browser nag.

On o3DS 10.1.0.27U

Getting the update message when trying to load the Browserhax page. How do I get past this?

EDIT: I've tried clearing history and cookies as well, since I've heard that was helped, but it didn't.

The trick doesn't work on O3DS
