So far, the exploits have allowed users to run emulators and install their own homebrew games, including a custom version of Portal for the 3DS.
It comes days after Nintendo removed Ironfall: Invasion from sale, which fell victim to smealum's exploit.

The free-to-play game was downloaded "several hundred thousand times" after news of Ironhax's forthcoming release broke.
Nintendo did not comment on the situation beyond a post on its European Twitter account, explaining that the game is no longer available.
The first game to fall victim to the vulnerability was Ubisoft puzzle game Cubic Ninja late last year.
