Latest 3DS update said to partially address homebrew exploits

An exploit was recently released for the 3DS that allows the system to run fan-made homebrew. All of the work is done through the game Cubic Ninja, which is now naturally in high demand.
Nintendo just launched a new 3DS update tonight. As a result, it’s only to be expected that many are wondering if homebrew is affected. The short answer is yes.
Today’s firmware is said to address one of the later stage exploits in Cubic Ninja. Two exploits still work apparently, though 3DS owners who are interested in homebrew may want to hold off on updating their system.

3DS Homebrew Channel release pushed back

The wait for the 3DS Homebrew Channel will continue on. Smealum, the project’s coder, has decided to delay its launch due to the upcoming release of New 3DS. He now hopes to enable homebrew on all 3DS systems, and potentially take advantage of New 3DS’ added power as well.
Smealum wrote on Twitter:
“I’ve worked way too long and hard on this to throw it away. This exploit is our best chance to get a look at the new 3DS coming out in one month. Using this as an entrypoint … gives us a fighting chance to defeat whatever new shit might be in there.”
The 3DS Homebrew Channel doesn’t have an estimated release date, though Smealum doesn’t expect the delay to carry into 2015.

3DS Homebrew Channel to be released soon
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 9 Comments
French coder Smealum will soon be releasing a Homebrew Channel hack for the 3DS. It’s compatible with the latest 3DS firmware and supports North American, European, and Japanese systems.
Note that the hack will not load commercial or pirated 3DS ROMs. Users will only be able to launch homebrew apps and games.
As far as region unlocking goes, Smealum recently mentioned that “playing games from other region[s] should almost definitely be possible” sometime in the future.
