Keep in mind that if you change your Home menu theme, you will lose Homemenuhax! You will have to re-run Browserhax to install Homemenuhax if you lose it. After a few seconds, you should be in the Homebrew menu again! Now that you’re done, shut down your 3DS and power it on while holding down the L button. Press A to install it, and if all goes well it should say it was sucessfully installed. Use the D-Pad on the Homebrew Launcher to scroll down to ‘Menuhax Manager’ and press A to start it. The payload for Homemenuhax is a modified theme file that causes the 3DS home menu to crash while holding down certain buttons.
For Browserhax, the payload is in a specially-designed webpage that causes the browser to crash. It crashes whatever game/software you used so unsigned (custom) code can run. The ‘payload’ is the piece of code that runs to get you into the Homebrew Launcher. Entry points that use cartridge games (like Ocarina of Time and Cubic Ninja) are usually much safer, but require buying games that isn’t an option for everyone.
Nintendo has the ability to patch certain entry points with software updates, but some will continue working regardless of what Nintendo does. The entry point for Browserhax is the 3DS web browser, and the entry point for Homemenuhax is the 3DS home menu. An entry point is simply a game or piece of software that the hack modifies to load the Homebrew Launcher. Since most of you don't who are "noobs" in Homebrew, I'll be happy to help and try my best, so without further ado, let's start the tutorial!Īll these 3DS hacks involve using ‘entry points’ to load the Homebrew Launcher. I’ve made this guide as simple and easy to follow as I know how, because most of you guys use Homebrew on Poke Genning. So this guide is a one-stop guide for installing the Homebrew Launcher on your 3DS with two entry points – Browserhax and Homemenuhax. I tried to do it myself recently and there’s a ton of mis-information and outdated guides. Many of those use Homebrew to run ‘homebrew’ software and games (software/games not approved by Nintendo) on the Nintendo 3DS actually isn’t that hard – but it’s really hard to figure it out. And for those who don't know what is a " Homebrew " is, it's sorta like some hacking on your 3ds.
Hello there folks! This is The Victini Gamer here, bringing you a tutorial on how to run Homebrew on your latest 3DS firmware. I offer no guarantee that this guide will work and your 3DS won’t break, anything can happen. This *should* work on system versions as old as 9.5, but that isn’t tested. This guide has been tested to work with both both OLD and NEW 3DS/3DSXL models and the 2DS on system version 10.5. *SINCE NINTENDO PATCHED 10.5 TO 10.6, TO ACESS HOMEBREW NOW, YOU MUST KEEP FIRMWARE 10.5*
