Note that ninjhax 1.x is still not obsolete. Even though ninjhax 2.x can be run on 9.3+, this was made possible (amongst other things) by sacrificing the memory remapping exploit used in ninjhax 1.x (rohax). Therefore, things like JIT engines for emulators can only be supported on ninjhax 1.x. Furthermore, ninjhax 2.x does not run on system versions below 9.0.0-X, while ninjhax 1.x does.
+
==Exploits without Homebrew Launcher==
 +
 
 +
<u>'''Warning:'''</u> The following exploits can run code, but are missing a 3DSX launcher. They cannot launch any homebrew in the 3DSX format, but could still prove useful by chaining to exploits with higher privileges.

==Secondary Exploits==

Installation of these exploits requires a previously exploited system.

==Other Homebrew Loaders==
 +
The [https://github.com/yellows8/hblauncher_loader hblauncher_loader] title can be used when running under modded-FIRM which allows running unsigned titles, to boot the *hax payloads.
 +
 +
[https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS Luma3DS], apart from providing signature patches for the installation and use of custom titles, includes the "Rosalina" system module, which among its features allows cleanly loading 3dsx applications as a native process with full ARM11 system permissions, by replacing an installed title's ExeFS and ExHeader during load time. It is currently the only option for running 3dsx applications on 11.4+ O3DSes; additionally, the *hax 2.x payload is incompatible with Rosalina and therefore so are homebrew applications requiring its target title system.
 +
 +
==Sysmodule Exploits==
 +
This section is for system-module exploits, which can be run from the *hax payloads.

Yes *hax payload Booted by all of the below non-sysmodule exploits. No longer needed as of Luma 8.0 From 9.0.0-7 up to 11.9.0-42.

Secondary Exploits[edit]

Installation of these exploits requires a previously exploited system to install. After installation, they can be used on their own. Please see the above Payload section regarding what "Supported firmwares" indicates exactly.

Works on latest fw Name Supported firmwares Requirements Author Install
No ironhax From 9.5.0-X up to and including 10.3.0-X, for X up to and including 28. A copy of "Ironfall: Invasion" downloaded from eShop before August 11th, 2015. Note the updated version that was released on October 13th, 2015 is not supported. smea Install

Besides using the installer app, writing raw saveimages with a save dongle for example is another option.

Exploits without Homebrew Launcher[edit]

Warning: The following exploits can run code, but are missing a 3DSX launcher. They cannot launch any homebrew in the 3DSX format, but could still prove useful by chaining to exploits with higher privileges.

Works on latest fw Name Supported firmwares Requirements Author Install
Yes safecerthax (Safe Mode System Updater) (Old3DS (2DS) (XL)) ALL

(New3DS (New2DS) (XL)) NOT SUPPORTED

An O3DS or O2DS that can be booted into Recovery Mode (hold L+R+Up+A at startup) & an internet connection. MrNbaYoh Install
Yes (partially) bannerbomb3 (System Settings) (USA / EUR / JPN) 11.5.0 to 11.16.0

(KOR / TWN) (11.4.0) 11.5.0 to latest

An exploit that uses a buffer overflow in a TWL export banner's title strings to gain rop execution.

A USA, EUR, JPN, KOR, or TWN system with its movable.sed keyY extracted. zoogie Install
No browserhax (Without the loader in the 3ds_browserhax_common repo) (Old3DS) From 5.0.0-2 to 11.0.0-33 (Pre-v5.0 is supported for some versions if you manually modify the source)

(New3DS) From 9.0.0-20 to 11.0.0-33

Note that the browser-version-check bypass is only usable prior to 10.7.0-32.

An USA, EUR, or JPN system. Yellows8 Install
No Ninjhax (with specialized payloads) Up to 9.2.0-20? smea + independent developers N/A

Previous Exploits[edit]

Warning: These exploits do not work. They are exploits which no longer function at all, regardless of software or firmware revision.

Works on latest fw Name Supported firmwares Requirements Author Install
No Tubehax None. Was: From 9.0.0-X up to and including 10.1.0-X, for X up to and including 27. The YouTube application and an Internet connection. As of October 15, 2015, this is no longer usable due to an update being released which fixes the vuln used by tubehax + app update being forced (see here). smea Install

Other Homebrew Loaders[edit]

The hblauncher_loader title can be used when running under modded-FIRM which allows running unsigned titles, to boot the *hax payloads.

Luma3DS, apart from providing signature patches for the installation and use of custom titles, includes the "Rosalina" system module, which among its features allows cleanly loading 3dsx applications as a native process with full ARM11 system permissions, by replacing an installed title's ExeFS and ExHeader during load time. It is currently the only option for running 3dsx applications on 11.4+ O3DSes; additionally, the *hax 2.x payload is incompatible with Rosalina and therefore so are homebrew applications requiring its target title system.

Sysmodule Exploits[edit]

This section is for system-module exploits, which can be run from the *hax payloads.

Works on latest fw Name Supported firmwares Requirements Author
No, still usable pre-v11.4. ctr-httpwn From 9.6.0-X up to and including 11.3.0-X. This includes bosshaxx. None Yellows8
