Payload

Works on latest fw Name Description Supported firmwares
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 and including 11.3.0-36, 11.4.0-37 .

For the rest of this page, "Supported firmwares" refers to the exploit itself, not whether *hax payload supports it.

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.

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.x From 9.0.0-7 up to and including 11.5.X. A cartridge or eShop version (JPN-only, not available anymore for purchase) of "Cubic Ninja". smea Install
Yes freakyhax From 9.0.0-7 up to and including 11.5.X. A cartridge or eShop version (USA/EUR/JAP, not available anymore for purchase) of "Freakyform Deluxe". plutoo Install
No smilehax From 9.0.0-7 up to and including 11.0.0-33 SmileBASIC (JPN all versions up to 3.32 excluded, USA 3.31 only) plutoo Install
No BASICSploit From 9.0.0-7 up to and including 11.0.0-33 SmileBASIC (USA all versions) MrNbaYoh Install
Yes smashbroshax (beaconhax) (New 3DS only) From 9.0.0-X up to and including 11.4.0-37. 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
No 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). Note: the secondary exploit still works, see bellow svanheulen Install
No soundhax From 9.0.0-13 up to and including 11.3.0-36. A USA, EUR, JPN or KOR system. nedwill Install
Yes doodlebomb From 9.0.0-X(?) up to and including 11.4.0-X. An eShop-install of Swapdoodle (version 1.1.1 or lower). As of 2017-4-26, version 1.1.2 was released, blocking outdated app version from sending or receiving messages. MrNbaYoh Install
Only of installed before August 28 2017 RPwnG From 9.0.0-X(?) up to and including 11.5.0-X. An digital copy of RPG Maker Player (free) ver. 1.1.4 on EUR, ver. 1.1.2 on USA/JPN is required. As of August 28, 2017 the code is instantly removed after publishing. MrNbaYoh 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.

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. Before compression was introduced in the 2016-7-18 release, the size of the *hax payload meant the exploit can't coexist with regular saves on a physical version of the game. Yellows8 / smea et al. See here.
No menuhax JPN/USA/EUR: From 9.0.0-X up to and including 11.2.0-X.

No (v*)hax From 9.0.0-X up to and including 11.0.0-X, for X up to and including 33.

Exploits without Homebrew Launcher (Not recommended)

Warning: The following exploits can run code, but are missing a 3DSX launcher. They cannot launch any homebrew in the 3DSX format.

Works on latest fw Name Supported firmwares Requirements Author 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

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

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

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
