When we are talking about exploit or crack or hack, we are very familar with Smealum who is the very famous hacker in 3DS area. And so is yellow8, here we listed some exploit/crack methods yellow8 has released recently.
browserhax fright
These are Nintendo 3DS system web-browser webkit exploits for Old3DS and New3DS.
This requires the following repo: https://github.com/yellows8/3ds_browserhax_common See that repo for usage info as well.
These are webkit exploits, so you may have to retry them multiple times before they work correctly without crashing.
Two exploits are contained here, one is implemented only for Old3DS, and the other is only implemented for New3DS:
- Old3DS: 3dsbrowserhax_webkit_r158724.php, aka "sliderhax". All
system-versions <=10.1.0-27(minus the first version of the browser)
are supported, as of when this repo was released. This isn't actually
fixed for the New3DS browser as of 10.1.0-27, but there's no known way
to even have a crash trigger for it which actually works right. To
trigger it, wait for the page to fully load. Then ideally zoom in all
the way, so that the slider is displayed as large as possible. Then
touch the far right of the slider at the exact location where the slider
ends, within the slider bar(the location you touch might(?) be related
to how reliable the exploit is).
- New3DS: 3dswebkithax_removewinframe.php, supported on all
system-versions below 9.9.0-26(or more specifically <{X.X.X-26}). The
vuln used here was fixed for the New3DS browser with 9.9.0-26, but on
Old3DS it's still not fixed as of 10.1.0-27. No user-input is needed to
trigger this besides starting the page-load. The actual exploit after
the heap-spray takes a while to trigger, since the heap-spray takes a
while. Note that this is very unreliable.
- 3dsbrowserhax_webkit_r158724.php in the initial form that got
control over the object-data used in the use-after-free, is originally
from January 2014. The vuln used here was discovered to affect Old3DS
web-browser by ichfly.
- 3dswebkithax_removewinframe.php: This is based on a certain PoC, see
the source for details on that. This was implemented in March 2015,
soon after the time the pastebin for the PoC was created.
See the following for a hosted version of these: http://yls8.mtheall.com/3dsbrowserhax.php
Home Menu haxx
When Home Menu is starting up, it can load theme-data from the
home-menu theme SD extdata. The flaw can be triggered from here. The ROP
starts running at roughly the same time the LCD backlight gets turned
on.
Although this triggers during Home Menu boot, this can't cause any
true bricks: just remove the *SD card if any booting issues ever
occur(or delete/rename the theme-cache extdata directory). Note that
this also applies when the ROP causes a crash, like when the ROP is for a
different version of Home Menu(this can also happen if you boot into a
nandimage which has a different Home Menu version, but still uses the
exact same SD data). However, it seems that normally(?) Home Menu
crashes with this just result in Home Menu displaying the usual error
dialog for system-applet crashes.
Since this is a theme exploit, a normal theme can't be used unless
you build with the THEMEDATA_PATH option below(the ROP runs a good while
after the theme is loaded). Due to how this hax works, the theme is
really only usable for BGM(as described below).

Note that ninjhax 1.x is still not obsolete. Even though ninjhax 2.x can
be run on 9.3+, this was made possible (amongst other things) by
sacrificing the memory remapping exploit used in ninjhax 1.x (rohax).
Therefore, things like JIT engines for emulators can only be supported
on ninjhax 1.x. Furthermore, ninjhax 2.x does not run on system versions
below 9.0.0-X, while ninjhax 1.x does.
Secondary Exploits
Installation of these exploits requires a previously exploited system
to install. After installation, they can be used on their own.

Sky3ds can support some of these exploits working on 3ds console to realize the function of region free, CIA gaming, SFC/SNES Emulator etc.
