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.

Nintendo has released firmware version 9.3.0-21 for the 3DS. There have been improvements to system stability, but this update does bring about a few features as well.

First, there is now a “Shuffle Favorites” feature for 3DS themes. It’s possible to choose multiple themes and have their theme change when the system is left in Sleep Mode or turned on after being turned off. Updates for software can also be downloaded from the Home Menu, and screenshots can be captured with both the upper and lower screens included.

Read on below for the official update notes from Nintendo.
