Standalone Homebrew Launcher Exploits

The following homebrew exploits can be executed on a previously un-exploited system. Please see the above Payload section regarding what "Supported firmwares" indicates exactly.

Yes	smashbroshax (beaconhax)	(New 3DS only) From 9.0.0-X up to and including 11.2.0-35.	Super Smash Bros 3DS (full-game) and a way to broadcast raw wifi beacons. The demo (prior to the updated November 2015 version) isn't usable with the *hax payloads. Game-version v1.1.3 fixed the vuln used with this, see the repo for a workaround for that.	Yellows8	Install
No	browserhax	From 9.0.0-2 to 11.0.0-33 Note that the browser-version-check bypass is only usable prior to 10.7.0-32.	A USA, EUR, JPN, or KOR system.	Yellows8	Install
Yes	genhax	(New 3DS only) From 9.9.0-X up to and including 11.2.0-X.	A gamecard or eShop-install of Monster Hunter X (JPN only), and the DLC encryption key (see installer instructions).	svanheulen	Install
Yes	soundhax	From 9.0.0-X to 11.2.0-X' for EUR and USA, 10.6.0-X to 11.2.0-X for JPN	A USA, EUR or JPN system.	nedwill	Install

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.

Secondary Exploits

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.
