Nintendo 3DS hacker uses obscure game to crack its previously impenetrable security
Nintendo’s 3DS has been on the market for what’s coming up on four years now yet somehow, modding enthusiasts have been unable to find a pure software hack that allows the portable console to run homebrew games.
That all changed this week, however, as 22-year-old Jordan Rabet revealed the results of his year-long quest to crack the 3DS’ previously impenetrable security.
The aspiring hacker found an incredibly simple backdoor into the system that works across all 3DS types. Best yet, it doesn’t require any programming skills. All you need is a copy of an old, obscure game called Cubic Ninja.
