So I downgraded to 11.6.0.39E after I heard the latest updates apparently ported the Switch's piracy detection methods over to the 3ds. Does anyone know of an update blocker or DNS server that is confirmed working right now?
Homebrew How can I block updates?

You can safely update to 11.9. The anti-piracy measures just prevent you from downloading games for free off Nintendo's CDN. That's why freeshop died. Staying on 11.6 won't really solve anything.

But everything is risky now. Especially playing games you haven’t purchased or downloading updates for games you don’t own.
Thanks for the DNS server, I’ll try it out.
No they didn't do this. There were changes on the CDN that require a ticket to be sent to download a title. This makes 11.8+ a hard requirement to use the eShop now.
This is the only change, and the only place where it's required. The ticket is not sent for any other purpose, at all, not even to connect to online services for games. This also means downgrading is (still) useless since it does not protect you against this.

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell". -

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -

BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
