It's stability time! A brand new update is out, for the Nintendo 3DS. Firmware version 11.12.0-44 has just released, bringing with it...well, no one knows exactly what it brings with it just yet. The yls8 page shows the update having gone out for most regions tonight, but Nintendo's official website hasn't updated to show the changelog (and obvious stability additions) as of the time of writing. What we do currently know is, a handful of titles have been updated thanks to this new firmware, including NVer, CVer, StreetPass, friends system-module, NATIVE_FIRM and Web browser data. More information will be added as things become more clear.

UPDATE: And to no one's surprise, here are the patch notes from Nintendo:

Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience.

Currently, Luma still boots, but is not confirmed to be 100% working, while other homebrew and CFW are being tested.

I should start using a bunch of 3DS's as foundation for my house.

I've just updated BootNTR Selector, should be compatible with 11.12 now:

Do they do this just to say they've released new 3DS software?

I guess so, yeah.
They don't really give a shit anymore.

I'll install that as soon as I get back from school.

Wonder what changes they made with StreetPass.

 

[tech3475]

I wonder if Nintendo knows about the running gag we all seem to be in on

If they release an update on April 1st, I'll take that as an answer.

My guess:

Nintendo is sneaking in the following:

• a message and function that on a given date the E-shop, message center and Mii channels will be closed
• some executables that when combined block CFW
• online checks for games and maybe a new ban-wave is coming in

I hate how open source community software is updated within hours https://github.com/zoogie/b9sTool/releases/tag/v5.0.2

Is this working on the latest Luma3DS?

 

[ZoNtendo]

At this point they are just updating the 3ds with stability to prove that this console is not dead yet.
3ds softhax are kinda pointless in 2019

 

[NoNAND]

The 3DS is far more stable than my fragile bones, the relationships of most people I know, and the future or my homeland.

 

[BaamAlex]

I like the stability jokes here.

 

[RY0M43CH1Z3N]

INNECESARY.

 

[PabloMK7]

Only made bootntr selector compatible with 11.12, nothing else.

 

[Puremin0rez]

O3DS XL with B9 / Fastboot3DS & Luma. No issues.

 

[Sheimi]

What changed exactly or roughly

More and/or verified information will (maybe) become available on 3dbrew (where else?)

Here is an unofficial build of frogtool with a gratuitous incompatibility removed, for people that need it until an official solution is ready - remember of course to use an appropriate version of b9stool if you're using it to run that

 

[ignare]

I guess one guy working at nintendo was bored and had nothing to do so they decided they may as well make a weak counter to Luma that will get patched in a week.

Mine was a bit unstable yesterday
I cant even balance a glass on it
