Looks like we'll have to manually update things then. Not the biggest of deals especially for things like Luma, considering that doesn't update often these days.

well this is unfortunate. Hopefully devs can find a way to mitigate this problem, not that I have that big an issue with manually updating things

Well this sucks.

Is the only solution to this creating a middleman server that supports TLSv1/1.1, and forwarding the requests so the 3DS can download from the middleman?
No. That won't work, SSL is used to prevent that. And even if you could it'd take the S(security) out of SSL.

You may not but 75% of the people that followed plailects guide will

We use a WAF to protect our older servers running SSL 3.0 since they don't support TLS 1.2 but since we have the private key for the cert on the WAF we are able to do a middleman setup for it.

Nooo. This will be annoying. Biggest problem will probably be updating CTGP-7 and TitleDB. I hope someone finds a workaround.

Does this mean that any newer games wont be released on freeshop? But it still will be possible to download games that are in the current library?

No, to both. It just means that any homebrew app you have will have to be updated manually.

Which includes the freeshop cache and not many people know how to do that since there are no instructions anywhere, you have to figure it out yourself from the source code.

Here's hoping Luma gets an update to fix this. If I am correct it should be possible to fix with cfw if someone had the know how to do it. I certainly don't.
If you meant Luma Updater, there's a fix in the works, but I can't test that fix until the service goes down.

I meant more like a cfw patch of some sort that could universally fix it rather than each homebrew having to implement their own fixes. I don't even know how possible that would be, if at all.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @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

    but that's a long shot

    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."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    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.

    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @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 @ 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

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
