| Works on latest fw | Name | Supported firmwares | Requirements | Author | Install |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| No | Ninjhax 1.1b | From 4.0.0-7 up to and including 9.2.0-20. | A cartridge or eShop version (JPN-only) of "Cubic Ninja". | smea | Install |
| Yes | Ninjhax 2.5 | From 9.0.0-7 up to and including 10.2.0-28. | A cartridge or eShop version (JPN-only) of "Cubic Ninja". | smea | Install |
| Yes | smashbroshax (beaconhax) | (New 3DS only) From 9.0.0-X up to and including 10.2.0-28. | Super Smash Bros 3DS (full-game) and a way to broadcast raw wifi beacons. The demo isn't usable with the release-archives since the demo doesn't have SD access(you must build it yourself with the PAYLOADURL option). | Yellows8 | Install |
| No | browserhax | (Old 3DS) From 9.0.0-16 to 9.5.0-22, 9.5.0-23 to 9.8.0-25, 9.9.0-26 to 10.1.0-27
(New 3DS) From 9.0.0-20 to 9.2.0-20, 9.3.0-21 to 9.5.0-23, 9.6.0-24 to 9.8.0-25, 9.9.0-26 to 10.1.0-27 |

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.
