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.

 +
 +
[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.

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.

Yes safecerthax (Safe Mode System Updater) (Old3DS (2DS) (XL)) ALL

Previous Exploits[edit]

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

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.

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
