|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 10.7.0-32. | 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 10.7.0-32. | 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 | (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, 10.2.0-28 to 10.5.0-30
(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, 10.2.0-28 to 10.5.0-30 Note that the browser-version-check bypass is only usable prior to 10.7.0-32. |
An USA, EUR, or JPN system. | Yellows8 | 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. ""Again, these exploits are only at best proven to work on 10.7.0-32!!! These may no longer function in 11.0.0-33!!!""

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