As some of you know, hacker “smealum” has been tinkering away on homebrew for 3DS. It’s all being done through the exploit known as “SSSPwn”, which will be available very soon. We’re hearing reports that the exploit will be released this Saturday – November 22.

3DS owners will be able to install homebrew on their system by using a cheap, old game available in all regions (though it’s not out digitally everywhere). Note that piracy will not be enabled. It will instead allow custom applications to be added such as “3DScraft”, and there is a possibility that region locking could be disabled in the future.

Thanks to Edgarska for the tip.
