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.

For fuck sake, Nintendo, just finish making games instead pushing out updates to a dead system!

Yeah Nintendo pull a lot of bs but in this case the game development/publishing teams and the security ones are for sure doing their own thing.

What are they accomplishing by patching these types of exploits? it is not like it would make any difference at this point.
Meanwhile, they still haven't patched considerably more serious exploits on Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon servers.

why are they still patching exploits? What in the actual hell does someone modding their 3ds do to them at this point (not that it did anything before.) We can't even give them money for anything on it at all even if we begged them to let us. Do they somehow think that being able to mod a 3ds makes us less likely to buy switch games or something?

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

Nintendo may need to update the NES, lol.

My comment isn’t meant to be taken seriously

Of course. It is exactly what they think
They patch exploits just in case someone manage to emulate switch on N3DS

Thankfully mine updated to 11.16 earlier today after using the soundhax method.

I really haven't followed the 3ds scene in a while

 

[SpaceboyScreams]

Does the update do anything to break an already modded 3DS?

 

[nWo]

So, is it safe for us with boot9strap to update?

I have same question as well.

nintendo doesn't like it when we try something different on their dead consoles

You are safe as long as your device is running Luma 11.0 or newer.
