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.

Oh hell. Now I need to remember how I managed to keep Gateway 3DS funcionality alive on current firmware while simultaneously using Luma.

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

Ntrboot you mean? If so, yes.

Bro this is just embarrassing. Nintendo is like the person who says they're done with an argument but can't stop themselves trying to get the final word.

It's done. The system will always be compromised. You closed the shop. Just walk the fuck away.

People realize they don't really have to update right?

Updating is required to use the eShop (yes it is still needed to download game updates and past purchases). Sometimes updates are required for online play though this one isn't. The console will also keep asking the user to update until they do it (there is no method to block updates without also disabling other features).

Sony does the same for PS3, but you could argue it's technically alive because with each new FW it gets BD keys and content is still downloadable from the PS Store.

If people just spend 5-10mins hacking their PS3 they can watch Blu-rays from anywhere in the world and not have to worry about the keys expiring. Just stupid.

There was a time I wanted to watch a Blu-ray I own and what happened? I couldn't because my PS3 was on an outdated FW. Now with CFW that's not a problem (but I gave up buying BDs thanks to that bullshit).

Yet their always seems to be a new crack a week later.

Nintendo ffs, i bought a New 3DS XL this year after 4 years to support your pathetic ass. Then only to find out Pokémon Shuffle & the é-shop got canned and now you push a update to a 12 year old system winch haven't recieved a single fucking AAA game since 2019... just to (i assume) patch a exploit?!

 

[Zoria]

Browerhax in 11.17 on a new 2DS XL
The console still crashes, so the flaw may still be there?

super-skaterhax was not fixed but on USA it doesn't work due to the Home Menu update (this requires an otherapp update). EUR and JPN are fine.

my console is a EUR and it does not work as the error message shows
Thanks for the information ^^

It might be showing this error because it already has Luma3DS. This exception handler does not appear on stock as far as I know.

What's weird is that I removed the hack from my console (I have ntrboothax for the rehack if needed)
Maybe we can't use this exploit for rehack --'

 

[EpikJimmer]

this fucking company sometimes.
Like, i can't even fathom their thought process
"OHHH THEY COULD INJECT NES/SNES/GB/GBC/GBA GAMES INTO 3DS VC INSTEAD OF PAYING 50$ A YEAR FOR 10 GBA GAMES "

What the hell is nintendo doing?

 

[Cuphat]

ntrboot remains cool and good.

Imagine updating the firmware of a platform that you refuse to sell software on.

Get the fuck outta here, Nintendo.

 

[EpikJimmer]

oh THANK GOD they updated the eshop app THANK YOU NINTENDO

 

[1dkreally]

nintendo my beloathed, why do all of my favourite games and consoles have to be made by such a shit company lmao

 

[wsh1994]

I don't understand about why Nintendo still updating the dead system.

Nintendo may need to update the NES, lol.

They actually stopped HW support on the famicom only in 2007. sooo this is actually a more accurate remark than you might think

 

[codezer0]

Nintendo more or less forced things to emulation if anyone wanted to stream 3ds content at all, since Nintendo of Japan successfully lobbied to make console modding illegal in the country. And now trying to make their america and euro branches follow along for that matter.

Nevermind that Nintendo wouldn't even supply the rom files necessary to make the nes and SNES classic consoles function, which forced the production line to literally download the community roms of all but maybe one (star fox 2) game to then sell back to us in a commercial product.

To that end, Nintendo is very much like either a superman or batman in the comics. They literally create the conditions that create their worst antagonists and villains and don't see the irony in it.
