I have been getting notifications for a system update on my 3ds for about a week now, I don't think it's for firmware and I'm new to the hacking scene so I have a fear of getting my childhood 3DS bricked. I still need the E-Shop for getting Rusty's Real Deal Baseball DLC (I have a plan to get it before the E-Shop closes) and H-Shop can't do it and the E-shop needs the system to update to be used.

Make sure Luma3DS version is new enough.

Updates are generally safe, but incompatibilities of older Luma3DS versions can prevent successful boot (replacing the boot.firm file generally solves the problem)

If you have any further questions or problems, just ask again.

Good luck and have fun!

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    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.

    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.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    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
    for people with beefy hands.
