It's been three whole years since @d0k3 first unveiled GodMode9, his homebrew Swiss Army knife for the 3DS, and today a new update has been released just in time for the celebrations!

Version 1.8.0 brings some new interesting features as well as improvements and bug fixes. A few notable ones are the ability to create installable CIAs from DSiWare NDS files, a tool capable of printing useful information from CIAs, new scripting commands & switches and a few bugfixes made to the Megascript. There are of course many more and you can read about them in the full changelog below.

• [new] CIA Checker tool gives insights into any CIA file provided

Actually, you can update GodMode9 just fine. You just can't use it.

How could I do that? I can't find any tutorial.

@everyone:

The preferred solution to any GodMode9 issue chainloading from Luma is to switch from b9s to fb3DS (don't worry, Luma itself will not be affected by this).
