It's nice to see everyone loosing there minds about this development though, and in no way is this against the homebrew scene or anything, outside of developers there is not all that much to see yet :P
It will be interesting to see where this road leads and how hard Nintendo will slam the door on this entry point and when! To be honest I am kinda surprised we have not seen a Firmware update to block it already :P
I am just glad I got my 2 copies of the game at a un-inflated price (its handy to know someone who works at GameStop :D)

Don't get me wrong I love the Homebrew Scene (Hell I own a GCW Zero) but don't set yourselves up for disappointment, there is a handful of emulators in there early stages and a few tech demo like things at the moment :P

Hats off to all involved in getting this exploit up and to the brave first few developing for the console

"how hard Nintendo will slam the door"

got to wonder if this is coincidence but after installing blagsnes i went looking for my snes rom set but couldnt find it on my backup hdd(had some crashed and broken pc and other issues) so i went to coolrom which i had just used a few days ago to put some snes and n64 roms a friend tablet and got this msg "this section removed due to copyright"
all the nintendo roms are gone, sega and other systems are still up, hmmm

Does anybody have freezing issues while using homebrews? My 3DS XL 9.2.0.20E will freeze after a small while on 3DScraft, and it seems to happen on other homebrews too :/
Am i the only one ?

Well, I went about extracting the archive and placing boot.3dsx and 3ds folder on the root of the sd card, a <old> 3ds (xl) and a <old> nintendo 2ds. each time I go to the qr code, scan it get the menu asking for permission to install the program and click a, get to 100% and it reboots saying an error has occurred, the system will restart. Tried two different downloads, two different sd cards and two different 3ds units. wondering (rhetorically) what am I doing wrong.

Try another SD Card if possible

Do you have WiFi on and are you selecting the correct FirmWare? If you're using EmuNand, you'll need to use EmuNand's FirmWare version.

Here's a question that I don't know if has been answered already, but here it goes...

Has anyone tried to run Cubic Ninja! from a Gateway Card and trying to run the exploit that way to install the Homebrew Launcher without needing the official retail cartridge?
Because... Reasons.
(And the game being harder to find than a Nintendo World Championships NES cartridge -,-)

so after testing both my retail cart of CN and my rom, i can install the exploit, but then i need to reinstall the exploit for GW. the retail cart can then access the exploit in the qr menu, but i can never get it to stick for the GW rom.

same here. I haven't been able to figure out how to make it stick without having to reinstall the exploit every time (on Gateway). Regular retail cart of CN works fine

I will, I have a 64 GB in my phone that I can try tomorrow.

Do you have WiFi on and are you selecting the correct FirmWare? If you're using EmuNand, you'll need to use EmuNand's FirmWare version.

I do have Wifi on, and I am actually using a retail game, nothing more. I am able to download the exploit in full, but it continues to reboot to the main menu upon reaching 100%. Another thing, if I am to remove the sd card and reinsert it into the 3ds, then I am able to only reach 70% before the exploit freezes.

Hey there, I have a question. The question is that:- "If I run this exploit and play homebrew, but after some time I want to play 3ds roms through Gateway 3ds, so will I be able to play the 3ds roms? Simply, it means that can I run both homebrew and Gateway 3ds exploit on my 3ds?"

So it's one retail cart per 3ds, correct? There's no way to save two QR codes for two different consoles with different firmware versions atm?

why would you need Cubic Ninja if you're on Gateway though? Doesn't the Gateway runt he same stuff Homebrew Channel currently has to offer?

I was wondering if there's an alternative way to activate the exploit.
The outer camera('s) from my Nintendo 3DS system seems to be broken, so I can't scan the QR code:sad:
Will I never be able to install this exploit now on that system?
