We've been following the work of 'smealum' for a while now on cracking the Nintendo 3DS handheld to run 'homebrew' in full 3DS mode without the need of any 'flashcart'. And last week finally he was tweeting it is up and running on the latest v8.x firmware, and he gotten a graphic artist to code up a cool menu for the launcher, and also started 'teasing' hints of the retail game you need either in physical or eShop form, saying it is 'old & cheap' and available in all regions.
But now with the big announcement from Nintendo on the super-duper 'New 3DS' with its better CPU and other features, 'smealum' has decided it is best to put his 'exploit' on hold until the system comes out, so Nintendo is more ****ed if his exploit works or can be updated to work also on the brand-new 'New 3DS' model.
Oh'well, you can thank big 'N' for putting our v8.x 'homebrew' ideas on hold without the need of Gateway 3DS flashcart.
