To install the exploit, download the latest version from the release page linked bellow, extract it to the root of your SD card and run it from the Homebrew Launcher.
***Also, when a new system version is released, you need to re-run the installer BEFORE doing the system update and select the NEW system version when asked.***
***As of genhax v2.0.0 you no longer need to re-install before doing a system update. Hold the "R" button when you trigger the exploit to start the internal updater. A screen should then display that will allow you to pick your system version and region.***
The MHX JPN v.1.3.0 update patches the exploit. To use genhax with the JPN version of the game you will need to uninstall the game update and use genhax v2.0.1 (or newer). I'm sure the USA/EUR versions will get this patch as well so same goes for those when they're released.
To run the exploit just go to the offline Hunters Hub and try posting an event quest or challenge quest, depending on which you selected when installing.
To uninstall the exploit, select the "Download" option in the game's main menu and re-download the first challenge or event quest (depending on which you selected while installing). Keep this in mind when using the "Download" option normally so that you don't accidentally uninstall the exploit.
There are some notable limitations for this exploit:
Source code for the exploit can be found here:

Source code for the installer can be found here:

There are some notable limitations for this exploit:
- It only works on New 3DS systems. This is because game uses extended memory mode on Old 3DS systems.
- It must be installed on the system you want to use it on. This is because the exploit uses the game's ExtData which is stored on the SD card, not the game cart.
- You will no longer be able to post certain quests in the Hunters Hub. If you install the exploit as an event quest, you wont be able to post event quests. If you install the exploit as a challenge quest, you wont be able to post challenge quests. But you should still be able to join event/challenge quests that other players post.
