So I picked up a New 3Ds today, and it's on 11.1.0-34.

Is there a way I could still install homebrew on it?

Should I bring it back?

If you want free games and cfw, I'd say return it and get a different one, until it's under or on 10.7. All dsiware games you COULD use are taken down, and if you are on 10.7 or below you can install a9lh easy peasy.

Don't really care about free games, Id rather support the developers :), But I may return it, because I would really enjoy using a CFW

Yeah, if you want a cfw, like Luma3DS, basically do what I said. Way easier and you don't need to wait for future exploits.

"Am I screwed?"
Yes.

No, not really, lol... but kinda. You can get homebrew easily, but to run CFW you need to downgrade, as already said. On system versions on or above 11.0 you either need a 2nd 3ds that has already been hacked to run CFW, or you need to own a legit eShop download of one of four DSiWare games, all of which have been pulled off the shop already. It's possible fasthax could work on more games once its ready, much like the system transfer method, but I simply don't know. I would assume not. Beyond these, the only other option would be a hardmod. If you can find a system on version 10.x or lower, that would be ideal.

Well, I bought one in July and it was on 10.7, I don't know exactly but there is a serial number trick you can do, tells you what firmware...probably google it. Which 3ds did you buy and from where

Any tips on finding a 3Ds on that version?
Either Ebay (and pay some massive markup price) or scout stores that aren't known for selling 3DS'. I got my 10.7 one at microcenter in November this year. If it's a store that has them on the shelf or something you may be able to check serial numbers to determine what version it may have

Thanks guys, you guys are all cool cats! I may just keep this 3DS, and give it to my mom or something. What are some cool things you can do with homebrew?

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
