​

Its now possible to easily hack the Nintendo 3DS, 3DS XL, 2DS and New 3DS for homebrew on the latest Nintendo 9.2.0-20 E, U or J firmware using the NINJHAX (formely SSSpwn) exploit in the game Cubic Ninja. The hack will piece of work on European, American and Japanese 3DS consoles. In fact this hack works on any firmware from 4.7 to 9.2.0-20 (the latest at the time of posting) So if you own a 3DS at the moment you tin happily hack it and enable homebrew.

Getting started hacking the Nintendo 3DS, 3DS XL, 2DS and New 3DS for homebrew:

To hack your 3DS console yous are going to need a re-create of the game Cubic Ninja,
obtaining a copy of Cubic Ninja is too going to be the hardest function of what yous are about to read also unfortunately.
Finding a copy of Cubic Ninja has become next to impossible in Europe now unless you are willing to pay £60 on Ebay or Amazon.

I was lucky and managed to purchase a copy of the game for £16 on Amazon.co.uk a few hours later on the NINJHAX exploit was announced. Even then that was more than double the price the game had been the day before.

If your in America Cubic Ninja is around $35 on Amazon.com, which to be honest i dont think is that bad compared to the situation in Europe.

Where to buy Cubic Ninja?

You have probably never heard of Cubic Ninja earlier the NINJHAX habitation brew exploit was appear, hence the problem in getting a copy of this game. Information technology was never that popular when information technology was released in 2011. Currently a few sellers on Amazon in the Great britain and United states appear to have the game. Yous might be better trying your luck in local game shops in your town / urban center.

Great britain:

Amazon.co.uk

US:

Amazon.com

Just remember all 3DS games are region locked.

Preparing your 3DS SD menu for the hack:


First y’all demand to download the
3DS Homebrew Starter Pack

At present yous need to put the SD carte du jour that’due south in your Nintendo 3DS in to the PC using a carte reader. If you do non take a bill of fare reader the
Integral SD (Secure Digital) Single Slot Reader
is cheap and volition piece of work fine.

But extract the homebrew starter zip file to the root of your 3DS’s SD menu, as can be shown in the screenshot below:

The 3DS’s SD carte should now accept a folder called 3ds and a file called kick.3dsx in the root of the SD card, equally tin be seen below:

That’southward it, place the SD card back in your 3ds and proceed to hack your 3DS.

Hacking your Nintendo 3DS:

You lot need to check the following before standing:

• Your 3DS firmware version
• That your 3DS is connected to the internet

To check your firmware version simply get to System Settings:

So on the elevation screen you should see your firmware version in the bottom right corner:

Before loading Cubic Ninja ensure you are connected to a wireless network with internet access:

Printing A on the main Menu of Cubic Ninja:

Go to create:

Become to QR code:

Now scan QR code:

Now you need to go to the
Ninjhax website
and enter your firmware version you obtained before under the Get Ninjhax section:

This will give you a QR code for your 3DS to scan, like so:

Yous and so need to simply hold your 3DS up to your computers screen and allow the code scan,

the DS must be connected to the internet

at this point:

Its probable Ninjhax will neglect to launch and crash the game a few times. I got lucky on my third time.
If the hack fails you will be returned to the 3DS home screen:

I institute when i had a very strong Wi-Fi betoken the hack worked, so if you are having trouble information technology might exist an idea to movement closer to your wireless router if you are far away from it.

When Ninjhax loads successfully y’all will run across the screen like this, press A to install the hack:

Afterwards installing y’all will at present have access to the homebrew launcher on the 3DS:

To load the homebrew channel again you have to go through the process of loading Cubic Ninha, then going to scan QR code once more as you take merely done. However in one case the hack is installed you do not demand to scan the QR code, the homebrew launcher will but load and you volition have access to whatsoever Homebrew apps on the SD card.

I have created a video showing Cubic Ninja loading, then the homebrew aqueduct been loaded from there. In total it will have y’all about 30 seconds to load the homebrew aqueduct from the 3DS’s homescreen.

That’s it, if you lot download whatsoever more homebrew you simply need to place it in the 3ds folder on your SD card.
