Much like tubehax, ironhax requires that your console be on a firmware version between 9.0 and 10.3, and that you have IronFall (previously available for free on the eShop) installed on it.

To do this, simply install browserhax (see above), and use it to download the old version of IronFall by starting the 'eShop - old version downloader' application in homebrew menu and downloading IronFall like your normally would. NOTE : it is currently possible to download the original (still vulnerable) version of Ironfall by using homebrew. Only those who downloaded Ironfall before September 2015 will be able to run ironhax.

While we believe that custom firmware is safe for online use, there have been online network bans in the past, primarily for cheating and suspicious eShop behavior.NOTE : unfortunately the latest version of Ironfall can no longer run ironhax.
