Hacking Will the 3ds (picross hack) still be working after the eShop closes?

[ardilla]

Okay so, I found my 3ds xl after such a long time and decided to hack it just yesterday, will the picross hack be affected at all when the eShop reaches its closure? I would feel really bad to just be able to enjoy for like half a year.

Ty beforehand!!

Short version:
No problem. There are and will be possibilities.

Long version: We've had that topic. Happy reading:

If you used Pichaxx to install b9s and Luma, then Picross no longer has any relevance to your system and you can delete it if you want.

This is a drop-in replacement for Pichaxx that's already been around a good while:

You don't hear about bb3 much because it's not the official "guide method" at this time, but it could be deployed after the eshop closes if its needed.

Like Pichaxx, it's free and set up with Seedminer. but unlike Pichaxx, bb3 is built into the system and doesn't need eshop at all.

The current variant of Seedminer itself has an online component, but that (friend service) should persist long past the eshop. And if it doesn't, there's at least two good offline options, one known (Mii QR bruteforcing), and one unreleased (APthief).

And on top of all that, there's a free offline primary that I'm working on that is not a done deal, but getting more promising every day.
