It's time to update! No, not your Nintendo Switch--go dust off your Nintendo 3DS, because Nintendo has just pushed out a brand new firmware release for the old handheld. Version 11.17.0-50U is available now to download, offering the general promises of stability that we've come to enjoy so much. The update is so late in the Nintendo 3DS's lifespan, that the firmware updates have outlasted the system's own eShop. The ylws8bot Twitter account notes that under the hood and guise of stability, some minor changes to the eShop app, System Settings, and Internet Browser were detected. Be wary of updating to the new firmware.

You are safe as long as your device is running Luma 11.0 or newer.

I guess I need to check on my Luma version then...

But as I didn't keep taps on the 3DS scene, why is it safe to update if you have Luma 11.0 or newer?

 

[gaga941021]

I really haven't followed the 3ds scene in a while

Dear Diary;...

 

[impeeza]

oh, great I need to hide my 3DS from my parrot!!

I wouldn't be surprised if the Wii U got an update just for shits and giggles. Only Nintendo... DMCA our gameplay, but gives out useless updates on dead consoles.

Lol Nintendo updating the 3ds to rage bait gbatemp

shit I'm still on 10.3 for the brightness overclock, color temp profiles etc. Guess I'll have to figure out how to block the update.

 

[SushiKing]

Thank's for reminding me I still have a 3DS...

The actual required version of Luma3DS is 10.2.1 so you can still update

This reminds me, I've not used my 3DS XL for months (all I use it for is to play MK7 Online).

If they could ban hackers from MK7 Online that'd be good, but these updates are pointless.

 

[Pin1988]

They really patched the last viable softmod option AFTER closing the eshop??!

God damnit, Nintendo...

 

[impeeza]

oh yeah, they did it!

 

[KimKong]

Hahaha, yeah.. THIS is useful..

 

[Paccc]

Wow, my modded Action replay will actually have a value for one or two weeks.

 

[EpikJimmer]

just when i fixed that stupid 2ds volume slider lel perfect timing...??

 

[ExperiencersInternational]

For fuck sake, Nintendo, just finish making games instead pushing out updates to a dead system!

I'd rather see Nintendo actually restore online access to Splatoon 1 ngl than seeing a new game, or a new firmware update for the 3DS which it didn't need.

We're all expecting not much to happen this year apart from TotK and Pikmin 3 with the Switch anyways.

BannerBomb3 got patched, at least according to the Homebrew discord. View attachment 373264

Seems like the case, the same goes for most of the other previously available methods, apart from ntrboot which is the only one that's left at this point (they couldn't patch it). According to 3ds.guide page:

-----------

Does the update do anything to break an already modded 3DS?

Not likely, but it's better to wait a little until it's confirmed to be safe (it's still too soon).
----

So, is it safe for us with boot9strap to update?

Same as above.

If it wasn't for the damn online play requiring the latest fw, i wouldn't care if they keep releasing these "stability updates" 'till judgment day..

Does NTR CFW still work? Home Menu was updated so I think not but I'm getting mixed messages.
