Exploits updated to support 3DS 10.4, Nintendo releases Firmware 10.5
Developer Yellows8 has released an update to his popular BrowserHax and MenuHax 3DS exploits, to work with the recently released 3DS firmware 10.4. He also updated oot3DHax to work with firmware 10.4 (oot3DHax requires a legit copy of popular game The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D in order to run). These hacks work on the Old 3DS as well as the New 3DS.
BrowserHax will run directly in your 3DS Browser and is the most popular starting point. You can point your 3DS browser here to get started. You’ll then want to install MenuHax on top of it (Menuhax 2.2 can be downloaded here)
Once your 3DS is hacked, get the 3DS homebrew starter kit from Smealum’s site and install it on your 3DS.
It appears Nintendo just surfaced a new update, firmware 10.5.0, mere hours after Yellows8 published his updated hacks. Although this does not seem to impact the hacks, it’s recommended you stay away from that latest update, for now.
*ANOTHER* 3DS update just dropped. nothing important from the looks of it, but still wait before updating.

The official changelog says 3DS Firmware 10.5 brings “Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience”.

My 3ds is so stable that Epona moved in.
Somebody get this guy a medallion
More like a stallion.
(Jokes aside, Wololo, why no article on mr. gas’s pfs protection bypass? Is it not newsworthy? I think it’s a huge breakthrough)
Unfortunately I just didn’t have time to write about it, and apparently neither did any of the guest bloggers. Send me a pm or an email at wagic.the.homebrew at gmail if you’re interested in becoming a guest blogger
My system is so solid that Snake now resides inside it.
That was kinda bad…
I know, I’m sorry. Please forgive me.
My 3ds is so stable that [Insert your pokemon joke here]
is this the same exploit similar to what tube hacks and ironfall or are these different/better?
“overall system stability” should be this decade’s motto. I’ve been hearing/reading it for, like, ever since PS2.
Thanks, Smealum 🙂
I thought there would at least be an article on Mr. Gas’ latest tutorial on how to dump Vita games and also bypass Sony’s protection.
My 3DS is so F’d that…… yeah. XD
Great!
I have one question, if I have a new 3ds updated to 10.4 firmware, if I install this version of menuhax, could I downgrade th e new 3ds to 9.2 firmware???
I am new in this world and I need help
Thanks in advance
No it doesn’t work. You need the mumchunkhax2 exploit for it to work that got fixed in 10.4 only works in <=10.3
Yes, you can downgrade to 9.2, install RXTools as an EMUNAND, install FBI installer onto RXTools or BigBlueMenu, depending on your preferences, upgrade your EMUNAND to 9.5 (latest safe firmware version for the new 3DS). Once this is setup you can use the FBI installer to install .CIA files onto your 3DS. (3DS roms come in 2 different extensions, .3DS, or .CIA).
Does this actually work before I try it? I don’t want to brick my 3ds. I’m on 10.4 and have successfully managed to install Browserhax and MenuHax but unsure what to do next?
You won’t brick your console..but sadly it won’t work either you need to be on 10.3 to perform a downgrade, if you are on 10.4 you’ll only have homebrew loader
Unfortunately, no. RXTools only supports up to 9.2 firmware.
I was able to load homebrew launcher using Menuhax 2.2 but I don’t know if there’s a way to install a CFW emunand or something such as a loader to play 3ds roms… at the moment I have just been able to play some emulators.
Nope you missed the 10.3 downgrade boat so you’re stuck without cfw unless someone finds a new exploit to downgrade.
I’d love to be a guest blogger on Wololo.net! I wonder though… We’re a brilliant group of users… Are you sure we haven’t checked everything? I mean, from a system point of view, what happens when you system format? Any nooks or crannies that could give us access to downgrade possibly? Or, what about system transfer? I’m sure there’s plenty of things that we could definitely look into, assuming we are really dedicated to finding a way to give ourselves full control of this amazing piece of technology that we paid our own good money for? I myself can’t wait for someone to find a fix, hack, or even a backdoor. I accidentally updated t 10.5 thinking that HomeBrew was all there was for this system…
Hey James, eemail me at wagic.the.homebrew at gmail for details on guest bloggers, or drop me a PM on /talk
Same here I’d love to be a guest blogger on Wololo.net. I have lots of free time. I hate my systems through articles like these. With some kind of hard to follow. I like to be in the know with things relating to these. My programming language sucks though. Some people write things here I have no clue what they are talking about. That’s mostly relating with visual c+ languages not hack terms. Would that be a handicap for a position in doing blogging over here?
Spelling errors wouldn’t win me over. No way of editing my current post.. Errr
