Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if 9.9 people are already screwed. The thing is, though, Smea said straight up that it's perfectly fine to update to 9.9 before Ninjhax 2.0 released, because he tested it and said it worked. For the persistent exploit, it's entirely possible that he must have discovered it after Ninjhax 2.0 came out. What wasn't a good move on his end, was hinting at an eShop game for the new exploit and then saying to wait, because way too many people are going to get the games that he's been leaking to get their systems ready, meaning those people HAD to update to 9.9 if they didn't have the games downloaded before. I'm not bashing Smea or anything, and I absolutely love what he's doing for all of us, but I don't think that was the best way to get people's attention on what he's up to. I honestly have no problem with using Cubic Ninja every time to boot into Ninjhax, though this new exploit would be super convenient. Here's another thing though, a tweet from him said, as a reply to someone else saying that they had to update to 9.9 to even access the eShop, "if it isnt dont blame me, i was pretty clear about the fact that people should wait for instructions..."
Of course it's not Smea's fault, but the way he said it, he must have not tested it on 9.9 at the time just yet. No word about 9.9 had been said officially since then, I don't think. All I'm hoping is that the folks on 9.9 are fine. I updated to 9.9 before Ninjhax 2.0 came out because Smea officially said that it works, and people who were already screwed at 9.8 said "Why not? At least what I want will work."
If this doesn't work on 9.9, so be it. That's like someone posting a brand spanking new and amazing CFW that they made, then people getting mad at it not working on 9.9 because it's apparently new. I'm very excited to know how this persistent exploit works, but all in all, it's not really supposed to affect anyone who can't use it, because everyone can at least USE Ninjhax. It's not anything like ARM9 getting cracked.
