Homebrew Nintendo releases 11.16.0-48

[Maximumbeans]

Hi guys i was just gonna sit and try to homebrew my new Nintendo 2ds XL but now im wondering if its safe? Should i do it or wait?

Have you updated to the lastest firmware release from Nintendo yet? If not then go for it.

Yes i updated it i have 11.16 version. So its safe?

 

[Steffenfield]

Update went just fine on my end.

Was a bit nervous to do so though.

 

[godreborn]

anyone updated and tested yet?

I've updated. What do you need tested?

The 3DS gets unstable because the eshop can't be used anytime soon.

No use of credit cards.

Perfectly safe but the steps on 3ds.hacks.guide have just changed slightly and the PicrossHax is no longer there.

Damn, the people behind the guide are so fast. Lifesavers.

When my finances are as stable as the 3DS firmware (if that's even possible) I'm sending them a healthy donation.

Is it safe to update my New 3DS XL? I’m using Luma3D and SuperCard DS TWO and I don’t play online.

Insert here Stability Joke

3DS stole eShop's stability, that's why eShop is getting closed

It might not work for installing b9s anymore, but good ol' Stickerhax still opens the Homebrew Launcher, and presumably the other *hax exploits still work too. Not that anyone has had much reason to use that in a long time – but Pichaxx might make a comeback if another exploit is discovered that starts from there.

Is this different from ntrboot? If so, has ntrboot also stopped working? I've only just come across a flash cart that might work for me and it hasn't arrived yet. I need it to unbrick my 3DS. The chance of this being a problem probably isn't very high, but I'd still like to know in case issues end up occurring anyway.

ntrboot uses an exploit in the boot ROM which cannot be updated. It seems very unlikely that it is going anywhere.

(Besides, it's not like your "bricked" 3DS can somehow get a system update.)

The update 100% wasn't needed to shut down gift cards being added, the buttons still there, but it just errors when you put a valid giftcard code in.

Time to wait for people to document error code 026-3278 lol

 

[fenderjaguar]

installed it for the hell of it on my O3DS with B9S 1.4 and Luma 11.0.

seems fine with everything I tested

 

[Modular511]

did luma update? lots of u r saying you updated, am jc!

 

[AleronIves]

Many of us were using old Luma versions, since Luma "just works" and didn't require updating to fix any major problems over the last few years.

I just updated to Luma 11 and 11.16.0-48, and everything works, although I'm sad to report that I can't watch YouTube videos in the N3DS browser anymore. I get error 032-2600 when I try to play a video (whatever that means). Thankfully, ThirdTube still works.

I think Nintendo tricked us into updating because we thought that there would only be an update for removing the gift card option, but we actually got a patch for something and the gift card option is still there.

Why would they need to do that? Nintendo aren't shy about trying to stamp out piracy and CFW.

 

[sonictopfan]

So from what I’m gathering here it’s safe to update but I need to also update Luma3D or is it unnecessary?

Press Select when booting up your 3DS and I believe it should show your Luma version.

If the Luma version is 11 or newer, then it's safe to update.

 

[susbaconhairman]

It is safe to update now that BootNTR is working again (Nintendo always gets beaten in a day)

They kinda are, they don't really specify what they do in their update logs.
