The 3DS is reaching its twilight years, with major first party releases slowing down. Updates to the system software are also becoming more and more uncommon. However, Nintendo sent out an update tonight, once more boasting about its beloved stability updates. This time, the claims were actually true, and the new update broke support with Luma3DS. Smealum, a major force in the scene is currently telling users to avoid updating at all costs, as doing so while having Luma will result in a "Failed to apply FIRM patch" error. For now, its recommended to stay below the new 11.8.0-41 update if your console is hacked, at least until there's a fix.

If you have knowledge with compiling files, you can apply the fix, but for the entry level user, it's advised you wait.

• Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience

Interesting to see that Nintendo finally found a way around CFW users again. I have to wonder why they saved this update, of all updates, for the 3DS's EoL.

Finally, the 3DS is more stable than my life!

It always was.

Maybe you should have pushed this update before Warioware Gold came out?

How long ago was the last update that added something useful to the end-user?

I wish I had my computer set up to compile luma

The Nintendo 3DS has reached a point where it is so incredibly stable that the laws of Space-Luma continuum break down.

That moment when your bro who's playing your 3DS updates and you were a second too slow....

 

[jamezfat]

Oh rippo. Not a big deal for my stuff, both my systems are on 11.7 as of now. But I did just lend out a 2ds with luma...

Imma just hope they don't update before I get a chance to warn them...

Luma has already been fixed. https://github.com/Pirater12/luma-nightlies/releases/tag/79-luma3ds-89cc6ed Use this to boot your 3ds again

Preliminary tests show they didn't fix anything seedminer related.
I still wouldn't update for at least another day though.

Keep in mind also that we don't know if this fixes smea's new arm9 chain or not. Another good reason not to update yet.
