bretty sure you gotta downgrade it first https://3ds.hacks.guide/ also here's the be-all catach-all answer for your hacking questions might as well delete this thread holmes.

steelminer, then frogminer

works on every version (did it on the newest one)

Hijacking the thread because even a baby could CFW a 3DS.

I'm planing on buying a Nintendo Switch, and I heard you can CFW it already. What do I need to know? It is as easy as the 3DS?

>>16067205

You need a specific serial number or below. The exploit is hardware level afaik and so you need it before Nintendo patched it

>>16067146

Wasn't freeshop taken down? It's the main reason I haven't used my 3ds in months.

>>16067146

Don't do anything to the poor thing, the 2ds is too young

>>16067477

AFAIK there are ways around it. But my knowledge is months old and Nintendo may have closed all the loopholes by now.

>>16067477

>freeshop is gone

>installing via FBI is too hard

You don't deserve piracy.

>>16067460

God damn it. Any more details about this? What's the serial number? Any development on cracking new versions?

Fuck, that was my main grip in getting a switch. I guesses getting a refurbished one as well.

You can search gbatemp or reddit.

The OP is more of a QTDDIOT. But, whatever, there usually is a nintendo hacking general with all the info you want. But it's not here because there are only a handful of games worth owning/pirating.

>>16067810

There used to be 3DS generals including info on breaking them. The main bit is 3ds.hacks.guide but that doesn't cover the pirating side and apparently they fixed the freeShop hole. Meanwhile Vita hasn't.

Remember to hack your Nintendo switch (check if the serial number, etc.)

>benefits: FREE GAEMS, FREE PRIVATE ONLINE, other tangible benefits like SAVE BACKUPS (also heard you can convert wii u save files to the switch like breath of the wild as an example), CUSTOM THEMES and more

I think my comment got eaten. Tldr is that i got my 2 switched the weekend of Bleck friday. You're probably not going to be as lucky, and so it would be better to just get one on ebin that was manufactured in 2017

Refurbish bare tablets go for $150 on ebay. Pretty much guaranteed to get a hackable one.

>>16069487

No.

There's a thread on gbatemp that lists exploitable firmwares: https://gbatemp.net/threads/switch-informations-by-serial-number-read-the-first-post-before-asking-questions.481215/

The short version is that anything at or below the following are hackable: XAW1007800X, XAW4001100X, XAW7001780X, XAJ1002000X, XAJ4004600X, XAJ7004000X

>>16070101

Correction, serials, not firmware. Any firmware is hackable.

>>16070102

>>16070101

the serial number is only needed to check for the fuuse exploit? sadly the new switch revision might not be as easily hacked

>>16067767

The loss of freeshop was more than that, with FBI you need 2x the space to install a game, which means that if you want senran kagura 2 or pokemon ultra moon on your 3DS you need 7GB, freeshop was also a good way of discovering new games since they all came with pictures and a little description, even the vita still only has titles.

>>16070729

*the vita's freeshop

At least pkgj got background download a couple days ago, which is better than the pleb tier sleep download that freeshop: child porn edition had.

>>16070235

Only serial number is needed, I got a XAW1004 from gamestop and it was hackable
