Sooooo.....

What is the consensus after 12 pages?

If you have a9lh/k9lh and are using cfw with an updated sysnand then everything except certain hourly versions of Luma and downgrading (the latest Luma hourly fixes downgrading though if you already have cfw there is no point in downgrading) still works fine. If you are still using menuhax+emunand then it is safe to update your emunand. If you are userland homebrew only then don't update.

I have Luma + a9hl, how should i do to update? update at 11.2 only? Or update at 11.2 and after that update luma? or vice versa?
Well first get a Luma Version that works with 11.2 (just download the stable 6.3.1 Version will do it) and then update.
For that you can use something like starupdater or lumaupdater. This way you don't need to swap stuff around on your sd because the updaters handle all that stuff.
Depending on your Luma Version it could be that you need to do the configuration again, but that should be no problem since you can just look for it in Plailect's guide.

The Luma updater doesn't work for me on 11.2 so if you want to update Luma, you should do so before updating.
EDIT: Didn't notice this was already answered. My bad.

OK, I'm just starting to get interested in installing a homebrew launcher exploit with the end goal of using PKHex, and I am struggling to find out exactly what will work with 11.2.0-35 since the update is so recent. For reference, I have an original 3DS XL with absolutely no exploits or modifications right now. http://www.3dbrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Exploits is stating that ninjhax 2.x will work on 11.2.0-35, but the actual ninjhax installation site doesn't confirm that. Since I don't trust myself with most of the methods of firmware downgrading - before I start to track down a copy of Cubic Ninja to attempt to use ninjhax 2.x, can I even execute it with my system currently being on 11.2.0-35? or is it just that previously exploited systems will continue to work on 11.2.0-35?

I've just checked and I've installed the version 6.3.1 that "luma updater" tells me to be the latest. So you confirmed that I can upgrade safely?

Yea, a9lh users are having no trouble. I've already updated.
Like I said though, luma updater(CIA Version) for whatever reason doesn't work from 11.2.
EDIT: Star Updater seems to work.

I use oot3dhax and while I can get to hbl, nearly every app is broken and freezes on the yellow screen when running. Even oot3dhax installer.

So yeah, yellow8's and smealum's claims that oot3dhax is fine is just wrong. Just because it boots hbl doesn't mean it doesn't need updating.

For the sake of stopping confusion I would classify oot3dhax and 11.2 as broken.

What specific apps are failing?

I'm mostly narrowing it down to anything that tries to read the save data of a cart. svdt wil run fine on installed apps but crashes on use with a cart. oot3dhax sploit installer fails too.

Similarly Hans on a cart-based game fails. If it touches the cart, it will fail it seems.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves

    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages

    It does that when I edit a post.

    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
