Homebrew has released version 3.0 of its command-line package manager, previously recommended by Josh Centers in several TidBITS articles (including “Downloading YouTube.
PS3HEN (HEN stands for Homebrew ENabler) is a recent exploit THAT WORKS ON ALL PS3 MODELS (YES! ALL models including Superslim, Slim and PHAT models).It adds new functions to 4.87.1 HFW (Hybrid Firmware), transforming it into.almost. a CFW (Custom Firmware) or very close to it. Among the features you can run Homebrews, HAN, JB rips, burnt PS3 games discs, PSXISO, BDISO, Discless. See full list on switchbrew.github.io.
Today I’d like to announce Homebrew 3.1.0. The most significant change since 3.0.0 is the migration of our bottles (binary packages) to GitHub Packages.
Major changes and deprecations since 3.0.0:
- GitHub Packages is the default package download/upload location on macOSand Linux. This is due to Bintray’s shutdown on May 1st 2021.
Other changes since 3.0.0 I’d like to highlight are the following:
Finally:
- Homebrew’s Annual General Meeting in February elected a new Project Leadership Committee, Technical Steering Committee, and I (Mike McQuaid) was re-elected as Project Leader
- Homebrew accepts donations through GitHub Sponsors and still accepts donations through Patreon. If you can afford it, please consider donating. If you’d rather not use GitHub Sponsors or Patreon (our preferred donation methods), check out the other ways to donate in our README.
Thanks to all our hard-working maintainers, contributors, sponsors and supporters for getting us this far. Particular thanks on Homebrew 3.1.0 go to GitHub for providing GitHub Packages and helping in our migration. Enjoy using Homebrew!

Frequently asked questions
I am below version 3.0.0. What do I do?
You can upgrade to 3.0.0 using a cartridge of Pokken Tournament DX. Warning: some very recent copies of the game come with 3.0.1. Be careful!
I am above version 3.0.0. What do I do?
Currently we have no plans to support 3.0.1 and above. We recommend buying another system purely for homebrew purposes.
Homebrew 3ds
When the time comes, we will release nx-hbl which is our NRO launcher that can be used with kernelhax'd systems.
How do I know what version a system comes on?
In the retail store, you can inspect the serial number on the box. See here to find which serial numbers are likely to be 3.0.0.
This is a little risky. If you buy a refurbished system maybe it will come with a newer firmware version than the serial number would have you believe.
Where can I find homebrew games/applications?
We have created a page on our wiki where we will put homebrew, you can find it here. Put them on your sdcard in the switch/ directory.
Can I host the exploit myself?
Yes, you can. For advanced users we provide nx-hbexploit300.
This allows you to set up your own server hosting the exploit. All you need is to setup a malicious DNS server that redirects all A records to a static HTTP server of your choice.
I want to make my own games for my Switch. Where do I start?
You can develop homebrew using libnx.
Here is a tutorial on how to set up the development environment (works on Windows, Linux and Mac).
Here are a few example projects that you can compile and run. We also have Doxygen documentation of libnx here.
Also, come visit us on irc: #switchdev @ EFNet. :-)
I'm getting error 2347-0003?
This means the nro file wasn't found. Make sure your sdcard is inserted, and that it has hbmenu.nro on its root.
Is this a kernel exploit?
No.
