Title	Compatibility	Type	Description	Author	Source
arm9loaderhax	Installer: O3DS: 2.1 N3DS: 9.0-9.2 If installed: Any (Version supported depends on CFW used)	ARM9	Exploit for the arm9loader to enable the execution of ARM9 code at boot. Requires console-specific OTP hash from 2.1 to build from source, but that's not necessary on N3DS (However, you've to use the N3DS 10.0 NATIVE_FIRM as firm0_100.bin in A9LH folder)	delebile, plutoo, yellows8	Git

NTRCardHax	Supposedly 9.0 to 10.7	ARM9	Exploits a bug in the DS cartridge loader part of ARM9 to gain access to it. It's supposed to be a new way to make CFW's on new versions, but no one has started working on it.	Plutoo
