There are well-established plans, protocols and procedures for vulnerability disclosure and exploit development in the 3DS hacking community.
It was a surprise that Nintendo reacted so quickly and fervently with regards to Freakyforms/Freakyhax, but then again, the community had acted in like; it was widely disclosed and well-documented on the moment of its release.

Freakyforms does nothing on 11.0 that OoT can't do on 11.0, and it does nothing on 10.x and older, that Cubic Ninja, Browserhax, et al, couldn't do before.
Nintendo could Ironfall Freakyforms, too - plug the hole in a software update, and make 11.1 not launch it without an update.
Some suspect Nintendo is even watching other 3DS hacking and homebrew communities, too.

3ds has been hacked more then the psvita like you can make your 3ds unpatchable with a9lh you can't do that with the psvita
"only consoles of this gen that have been hacked "

Proven wrong. And don't forget the 3DS is way more popular than the Vita.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

PS4 has also been hacked... So... Idk where you're seeing that only Nintendo gets hacked.

Yet :^)
And it's just a matter of time / interest. If a lot of people are interested into XBone, then hackers will naturally be interested too. Since the PS4 is a lot more popular than the XBone, it's not really surprising it's already been hacked. The same thing is true fro the Vita / 3DS, or any platform.

Wrong.

There are always ways to hack.

No security is perfect.

Never was, never will be.

The security is there, but for how long?

As of today, computer security, while much more advanced than it was years ago, is far from perfect. For now, and probably for a long time, everything is, or will be, hacked, if enough time and effort is put into it.

Freakyforms does nothing on 11.0 that OoT can't do on 11.0
Freakyhax is primary, more convenient (just need files on your SD, no installing/reinstalling payloads), and OoT is effectively unusable on 11.0 for the time being.

and it does nothing on 10.x and older, that Cubic Ninja, Browserhax, et al, couldn't do before.
Yes, but it's a new primary that works on 11.0. For much of the world, CN carts were very hard to come by, whereas Freakyforms were much easier to get. No-one's trying to make out that Freakyhax is super exceptional; no-one's arguing that it can do things that other hax could not. I think it's clear that Nintendo acted to quickly to freakyhax being released because they want to take back control of the console, and 11.0 is their way of doing that.

Nintendo could Ironfall Freakyforms, too - plug the hole in a software update, and make 11.1 not launch it without an update.
Maybe for the digital version, but exceptionally unlikely for the cartridge version.


(Off topic: why don't you guys just Ignore hacksn5s4?)

If it has made its way to Reddit, then it has already become too public. The only way to hide from Nintendo is to go completely underground. Either keep it private and release it to a select few or make it hard to get to, like locking it away in the deep web and having it take its time to float to the surface.

.... Then I'll just start naming random games and saying they're exploitable. Ofc Nintendo will remove them from the eShop.
well that would cause way more trouble than its worth, would be hilarious for the scalpers though who hoard like 60 copies once it is announced as fake.......but nobody would be able to know what game to buy if they just spam 100 names
