Homebrew So, now that Browserhax is dead...

[mashers]

And I can't use oothax or ninjhax because I don't have these games, what do I do? I am on the latest 10.6 sysNAND(Yes, I fucked up by mistake, I know). I have a N3DS. Is there a chance someone could bypass the Browserhax fix?

The best and most cost-effective solution is to have a hard mod installed. You can downgrade and use both CFW AND homebrew, and it will cost you less than the price of Cubic Ninja or Sky3DS. OOT might be marginally cheaper, but will only allow you to access homebrew (no CFW).

With oot he would need a way to install the exploit to it so he would need a 3ds with hb access or buy a powrsave so it doesn't really cost less

You don't need homebrew access to downgrade from 10.6 with a hardmod. Once he's on 9.2 he can use browserhax to access hbl and setup CFW.

Edit - sorry I've just re-read and realised you were saying OOT wouldn't be cheaper than hard mod due to the need to access another 3ds to set it up.

Thanks mate. The only reason I haven't hardmodded my n3ds yet is because I'm afraid of ruining it. My uncle's soldering iron is a bit high powered, you know. I mean, he's good with it and I trust him but it would be a shame if something went wrong. However, I would be grateful if you gave me a link to a guide.

I don't know of a written guide, but there's an excellent video on YouTube of a NAND mod installation and 3dbrew has the NAND pinout a for every model of 3ds (and 2ds). If you're not confident your soldering skills and aren't sure if your iron is suitable, it would be better to pay for someone experienced to install it for you. It's not that expensive.

Do you know the video's title? Sorry for bothering.

Has it actually been confirmed that a hardmod can be used to downgrade 10.6?

-snip-

this may sound silly,
but it may be easier to get a newer N3DS on a lower firmware.

I recently purchased a N3DS LL (JPN) and it came 9.9, so I downgraded it and all.
Also, browserhax had the softblock messaged, that could be bypassed due to the speed: https://gbatemp.net/threads/browserhax-is-still-working.400991/

There's a post about serial IDs of N3ds and firmware and all:

No problem! Here's the video:


And here are the NAND pinouts: https://3dbrew.org/wiki/Hardware#NAND_pinout

Yes: https://github.com/Plailect/3DS-10.5-Downgrade
"Nintendo done goofed, this will still work on 10.6."

I think it's because FIRM wasn't updated in 10.6 (nor 10.5 or 10.4...)

 

[Luglige]

Is it possible to downgrade from 10.6?

No...no not with a hardmod

 

[mashers]

No...no not with a hardmod

It is possible with a hard mod.

 

[daxtsu]

It is possible with a hard mod.

Using that private DSiWare exploit you mean?

Nevermind, read with as without. Hurr.

 

[Dracari]

dont always See Browserhax as Dead, Back when befoer slider28hax/browserhax_fright_tx3g when it was Doom and gloom Smeal made a good point as long the browser is Based on Webkit. the possibility of a Exploit will always be in the future. for now its a waiting game.

Get a oot while it is still in print, it is very good investment
