Get Blargsnes 3Ds Free Games I

As of writing this, the 3dsbrowserhax exploit only works up to firmware 11.1.

But the story starts earlier than that, yesterday afternoon to be exact.

Miles and Tommaso have been asking for a Pokemon game for the 3Ds, and feeling fairly charitable these days I obliged.

I parted with far more money than I care to admit for this game, but rationality doesnt usually stand in the way of my rampant consumerism.

Anyway, we got home and the kids were chomping at the bit to play the brand new game that cost too much and.

We have two 3DS machines, so when the same read error occurred on both I was sure it was a defective card.

But remembering I had to actually buy a region specific power plug for the 3DS when arriving in Italy because the US version didnt even work with a convertor, I had a nagging feeling it could be something else.

I double-checked whether Nintendo subjects the 3DS to that arcane form of media torture now as region lock, and lo and behold they do.

You do the right thing, pay their ransom of a bounty, and they lock you out.

I was pissed. Whats more, I was having people over for a barbecue and couldnt attend to it immediately, so the kids were pissed.

Worst case scenario, we have to return the game and buy it through the virtual shop online, but that is a whole different kind of DRM nightmare I was trying to avoid in the first place.

Without their stupid regional locks, I would have never learned about all the free games I can get for their system.

Talk about eye-opening Not to mention the fact I love tracking down and trying out other peoples hacks and exploits, it makes me feel smarter than I ever will be.

When you do the search the first thing you find is the YouTube exploit hack for region unlocking.

That one is no longer viable, Nintendo caught on and patched the hole.

That said, that article led me to the Homebrew Launcher site for the 3Ds hosted by 3DS hacker extraordinaire smea.

So, for example, I am using the Web Browser exploit in 3DS to get the Homebrew Launcher to work.

You load the Homebrew application files on your 3DSs SD card using this starter kit.

Be sure to but the 3DS folder and the boot.3dsx file in the top-level root of the SD card.

After that, I also downloaded and added the payload file to the top-level of the SD card.

You can get the payload file on the Homebrew Launcher site as well, just be sure to add your current firmware version as I did below and click Download otherapp.

Im not entirely clear on the difference between otherapp and ropbin, but I used otherapp and it seemed to work.
