No, you didn't misread that title--after nearly a year since the last one, Nintendo has put out a system software update for the Nintendo 3DS line of handhelds. Currently, neither Nintendo's European or North American websites are acknowledging the update, but Nintendo of Japan has, and while it isn't exactly the classic message we're used to, the main focus of the update is "improved system stability and convenience". As for custom firmware, it appears that the latest version of Luma3DS is still working on the newly released 11.15.0-47, with users reporting that the firmware release merely exists to update the 3DS browser's SSL security certs.

Major changes due to the update to 11.15.0-47J
[New Nintendo 3DS / New 3DS LL / New 2DS LL / 3DS / 3DS LL / 2DS]
Improved system stability and convenience
Some functions are added / corrected only by updating by network download.
The game card update does not include some changes.

For updates of main unit functions before this,Nintendo 3DS system version change historyplease look at.

My 3DS start rumbling after the release of this update. I think he needs more "stability".

 

[godreborn]

fyi, I tested everything: 3ds games, gb games, gbc games, gba games, homebrew, homebrew launcher, saves, twilight menu (every type of game that I have, so gb, gba, and ds) and ntr. everything worked.

 

[godreborn]

Just checked flash cart. it also works (supercard dstwo).

The Nintendo 3DS is now so stable, Debian is put to shame.

Ok so? People overreact to updates that don't do anything

 

[daemonspudguy]

Why is Nintendo still doing updates? They clearly aren't doing anything to stop CFW on the 3DS, considering Seedminer was launched like 3 years ago.

What. The. Actual. Fuck. Nintendo.

Yesterday I finally finished updating and getting everything working again (including Gateway 3DS + Luma + B9S) after not touching my 3DS for a very long time. I was like "Nah, they won't update anymore, let's do this and finally be good."

Guess it's my fault. I jinxed it.

Nintendo 3DS will never die. Soon, it will replace human organs for further integration and stability.

 

[SuperDan]

Fine to update that's all I need to know...

Browserhax is completely trivial compared to Seedminer – and likewise trivial to fix. It makes sense to patch it.

fantastic post, thank you

 

[DuoDynamo]

Just downloaded the update and, indeed, my 3DS XL feels a lot more stable... way too stable.


...it's glued to my desk.

Thank you very much for the information

3DS is now officially more stable than the COVID-19 vaccinations.

 

[thekarter104]

It's so stable, it can protect us from Covid without the vaccine.

 

[Sterophonick]

let's goooooo stability!!!

That .... is making me nervous ...
Since Nintendo started behaving more and more like EA, this sounds like they some time now will put out an update to "decrease hardware degradation" by slowing down the software ... breaks my heart seeing Nintendo becoming scummier by the day....

To be honest, I doubt that would happen. What would be the point, anyway?

Plus, if Nintendo ever pulled something like that, the homebrew community would definitely investigate it and warn people about such an update.

I'll just wait until Luma3DS puts out another update just in case my consoles brick while updating.

Probably to force people to look into buying more of their hardware. If the update does actually slow down software performance, it''ll lead people to think that their old consoles are failing and are in need of replacing.

 

[abruzzimarco]

Yep, pretty much. Only online feature that you won't have access to is the eshop, so no official game updates etc.

If youre still on 11.14 & still have browser online access, do you think it's still possible to use browserhax?
