A dedicated homebrew exploit channel is set to launch in just five days for the Nintendo 3DS. Produced by the French coder Smealum, the new homebrew channel can be accessed by any 3DS owner on November 22, and will allow users to play various apps and emulators through its exploit system. Region-free gaming is still a possibility in the near future, but for now the exploit serves to unlock such apps as 3DScraft – a Minecraft clone for the handheld. As was the case before, the homebrew channel will not support pirated 3DS ROMS.
