Ninjhax 2.0 released : 3DS homebrew, region-free and custom themes on latest 3DS firmware (9.9), by Smealum
some people just seem to never be able to stop. Smealum just released Ninjhax 2.0: a hack that lets you run unsigned software (homebrew) on your 3DS, and it is compatible with the latest and greatest firmware, firmware 9.9.
Smealum released a video showcasing ninjhax 2.0 in action (see below).
Just like for the original Ninjhax hack, the game triggers an exploit in game Cubic Ninja. A legit cartridge of the game is required to run the exploit. Cubic Ninja is available on Amazon, alas not at reasonable prices (the same game cost about $5 last year. It’s a terrible game, in case you ask). As of now, it can be purchased for about $40 used, the question being how much you value homebrews, region free games, and, potentially, pirated games down the road.
On the video, smealum showcases a 3DS on the latest firmware, running a series of homebrews/emulators BlargNES, GameYob a GBA emulator, the popular 3D Portal-like homebrew Game, and confirms that region-free loading works by loading a copy of Super smash Bros from a different Region.
To run Ninjhax 2.0, you will need the following:
- A 3DS, 3DS XL or 2DS console with a firmware version between 9.0.0-X and 9.9.0-X. X can be any digit.
- An SD card compatible with your 3DS (the one it comes with will of course do).
-
A copy of the game CUBIC NINJA, either from retail or eShop.
(retail is available in US, EU and JPN; eshop was JPN-only, and is not available anymore)
ninjhax 2.0 Installation and how to:
Once you have your copy of Cubic Ninja, Head over to the official ninjhax 2.0 page to download the hack and read the instructions.

K.
Can I have one for free? 😀
else I will steal one 😛
awesome, but i don’t need it. lol
3ds can just suck it and die
Well, then why comment? 3DS beats the Vita anyday.
its not that bad
hahaha, there is more people interested on hacking the 3DS than PS Vita. I own both, but clearly 3DS has the better games. So sad that people pirate games.
And I have 5 copies of Sly 2: Band of Thieves. A better game. (and 1 cubic ninja)
Out of all 4 sly copper games i like the second the best
Why? What a waste of money. People like you is why the price got jacked up in the first place so people that would actually use it can’t get it. Congratulations
F. you mate, seriously what are you doing with these? selling them for a 500% profit ?
I mod 3ds consoles and sell them for 400$ locally
Ive already sold 3
So much profit
A much easier workaround would be buying one of those sky3d carts and having it loaded with a copy of cubic ninja. Works perfectly!
Congratulations?
My 3ds is 9.5.0-22E but I haven’t cubic ninja
So buy it if you want the exploit
Does it work on n3ds?
Im curios too. :/
Yes it does
Yes it does
WATCH OUT!
The new Ninjhax DOES NOT let you run any other CFW. I knew he was an ***.
PastaCFW and rxTools dont work.
Does anyone know how to downgrade? I want to run Ninjahax 1.1 again so the CFWs work.
It does work on n3ds. I’m using my sky3ds with a cubic ninja rom on 9.9 on my new3ds
Very nice haha I’ve kept my Nee3ds xl on 9.0 and I’m using gateway on it.
GameYob is a GB, GBC emulator not GBA. 🙂
If I read it correctly, does that mean it can’t currently run game backups?
It was never able to run them, you need PastaCFW to do so
Will this one day over take flashcarts? (Sky3ds, Gateway)
Doubtful.
This is homebrew and region free, Sky3ds and Gateway are for piracy purposes.
Just went out and bought this game, not that expensive.. cannot wait to play the HOMEBREW !!! SNES here we come!
Damn where did you get it? Do you live in a country where there aren’t any gamers?
Not that hard to find in Texas
I have 6 copies now
And a few buddies have 3 each
Think there’s any chance pastacfw will make it over? Or does it rely on a patched exploit?
Of course it relies on a previously patched exploit… The original ninjhax maybe?… From where Pasta was originally born?
Why would anyone pay $60 for a CubicNinja when you can just buy a Sky3ds???
Its only 15$ if you can find it at gamestop
Cubic Ninja auctions end around the $45 dolars range on ebay with free shipping, Sky3ds costs $80 + shipping + an extra MicroSD card (about $100 total).
Why would someone who only wants homebrew and not interested on piracy spend twice the price on a Sky3ds???
this, I rather be able to play my gba games than pirate what I already have
Okay. So there’s something that blew my mind here.
I launch BlargSnes on my N3ds…and the documentation said there was no sound output….BUT THEN THERE WAS SOUND omfg, The emulator runs really well, too! Way better than snes9x on the psp! Give it a shot!
The original Ninjhax had no sound on New3DS, any homebrew that you played had no sound and there was no way around it.
This issue was adressed on Ninjhax 2.0 but the homebrews may sill recognize as there no being sound played at all, but there is.
Guys, just do a quick GameStop search for Cubic Ninja. I found and bough a used copy for $20 withing 4 miles of my place.
Is it still a pain to trigger?? Why cant they just release the necessary Files that is already triggered. N3DS and O3DS are such a pain to trigger this.
There is no pain to trigger, 2.0 has worked flawlessly to me every single time.
What happenes when cubic ninja is no more, some company is gonna see a profit start making more but I bet you will patch the exploit (if replicating games is even possible ) Sorry to say I don’t want this ..I want something that is easier I don’t want hombrew nor 3ds piracy I want A R4 card compatible just to play DS games I own a older model that no longer works … I used it for movies and ds and emulators ..this is just nuts and will only live the lenght of how well the game gets stocked ..
Just grab a sky3ds then, for me it was cheaper buy one of those than to find a japanese version that was less than $100.
you can play lag free snes emulation and gba emultion with the DsTwo card.
If you want homebrew and emulation of nes,snes,n64,ps1,gb,gbc,gba,a-laggy-Ds, then buy a psp
When the First few PSP exploits were found, it was believed that “games with an exploit” were rare. 10 years later, it’s been shown that 10% of the PSP game library had exploitable flaws. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the same on the 3DS, it’s just that people with the skills and time to do the research are probably doing something else.
My point: other games than Cubic Ninja are probably exploitable, but people might not be looking for those.
Just today, I bought the only copy of Cubic Ninja I could find in Illinois. Problem is, my New 3DS won’t come in the mail til tomorrow. Ain’t life a ***? Super excited for this, though!
N3DS Support!!!!
If I’m lucky I’ll buy one soon cheapish
I bought cubic ninja from a local game resale shop in town like three days ago for 34 dollars.
Anyways, I already have ninjhax v1 on my 3ds, is there any need to get v2 beta?
Ninjhax 2.0 is the bomb!!! I finally have HB support on my 3DS.
You don’t need a Cubic Ninja cart.
Red EU 3DS, NAND 4.5.0-6E (for MSET, need DS flash cart to install MSET).
rxTools 2.6, EMUNAND is delinked, 9.8.0-25E.
EU Cubic Ninja CIA (converted from 3DS ROM).
Hope this could lead to downgrading on 9.9 at some point.
I got cubic at a gamestop near me for 22 dollars (including tax). The snes emulator is already better then the psp one.. I’m impressed.
