Hey all, im on a New 3DS XL using A9LH, system is 11.0.0-33U
I am trying to play super mario maker 3ds and it needs me to update to play online, is it safe for me to update considering my console type and CFW version?

Yes, you can update all your games

 

[kofman13]

i meant is it safe to update my sysnand firmware, not the games themselves

It's safe if you're using a CFW with FIRM0/1 write protection, such as Luma.
If that's the case, then you can go ahead and update.

if you have a9lh installed and presumably Luma or a cfw wit write protection, you can update your firmware.

EDIT: I always get ninja'd.

i dont know what FIRM0/1 is but i followed the famous Plaitec guide down to a T months ago, when browserhax worked in firmware 10 something and updated to 11 a few months ago already... so it's probably good for me to go ahead?

If you don't know, you're fine.

Just download the latest Luma version and replace your old CFW files to be safe.

is it possible to update luma within homebrew menu instead of downloading files and putting on SD manually? curious out of convenience

https://github.com/Hamcha/lumaupdate/releases scan the qr code here with FBI and it will install Luma Updater. Than you can use that to download and install the newest version of luma directly on your 3ds

EDIT: Finally, I ninja'd someone else. Haha.

You can use Luma Updater to update Luma without having to copy files manually. It's not an app you launch from the Homebrew Launcher though, but that shouldn't really be a problem.

Thanks! used luma updater to update to 6.6 and it rebooted and shows me this screen now! kind of afraid to proceed since i dont remember what choices i chose the first time i installed Luma, so many months ago.

You more than likely want autoboot sysnand, clock+L2, Enable region/language emu.

 

[Deleted member 370671]

You can simply press start (you can select "Clock+L2" if you have an N3DS, to use the extra power).

I think that with the newest builds of luma, that option only appears if its running on a n3ds. I recently updated my little sisters o3ds' cfw(was still running rei) to luma and that option wasn't on there.

But yeah, OP, that overclocking isn't necessary and it uses more power. However some games get a good boost.
