Gaming 3DS 11.3.0-36 out now

[Majickhat55]

DO NOT UPDATE EVEN IF YOU DO HAVE A HARDMOD!!!!!!!!! SOME HARDMODS HAVE BEEN PATCHED!!!!

No, downgrading via hardmods was patched. You can't physically change the hardware with software, period. Nintendo would have to send someone to your house to physically remove a hardmod Lol. Anyway, updating is perfectly safe if you're using A9LH+Luma 3DS. The only thing not working is HomeBrew, which should be fixed by this weekend most likely.

Is the CIA launcher working?

HomeBrew itself does not work yet (regardless of entry point), until the updated payloads are finished and released.

Well I updated my 3DS anyway and everything works fine but the homebrew launcher. Oh well. I never use homebrew anymore anyway I use CIA's now

There are 35 pages so I don't know if this was already posted but the NTR Selector is now compatible with 11.3 FW https://github.com/Nanquitas/BootNTR/releases


Also the beauty of have Luma is I can update all I want without fear of something getting messed up with my hacked New 3DS.

When/if they make 11.4
11.4.0.??
Details- Furthur improvements to stability (patches more CFW things on the down low)

Likely the same thing is to occur with FW Updates, Nintendo will just try to block things, but really only time can tell what will occur.
But I highly doubt anything would happen.

When do you think they'll stop actually updating the 3ds

No one knows right now,
My guess is a few years from now (1, or 2) since the Nintendo Switch is coming out.
The reason I say two is because some more popular ip's like Fire Emblem, Monster Hunter, and various indie game titles are coming to the 3DS to.

Yea you're right I mean the 3ds has been one of the best systems nintendo has released and all good sagas come to an end so in about 1-2 years I could see it come to a good end but seeing as the switch is set to come out next month how long do you think it would take to get CFW on that bad boy

I'm hoping that an unlikely oversight on the last firmware release it becomes fully exploitable like 11.2 but unlikely, I guess I can hope lol.

I mean early versions of the firmware for the switch (might) be easily exploitable but you never know with Nintendo. I mean they did release 11.3 out of the blue

Well they are known for being (probably one of) the easiest companies to hack into through their systems compared to Microsoft & Sony.
It would likely be hacked probably around the 1st year it comes out with decent software mods.

Unless the firmware completely locked out mods like the Wii U when it first came out and when it was finally hacked into. (Around somewhere in 2014 an exploit was released I think.) It would take years to figure out a way to mod it.
Of course its just all pure speculation so .

I'm pretty sure the future 11.4.0-37 update WILL block arm9loaderhax, meaning that Homebrew that is ARM9 only (such as Hourglass9, Luma3DS menu and Decrypt9) can still be loaded, but anything else that uses ARM11 (such as the Home Menu and other Homebrew) won't boot at all. Because they will implement FIRM0 and FIRM1 checks, which still scan the files in FIRM0 and FIRM1 to determine if their MD5 hash matches, and if not, it will refuse to boot ARM11. It will also check for any extra files in FIRM0 and FIRM1, if it detects any payload files other than the ones that are permitted, it will refuse to boot ARM11.

When that happens, there will be no way for even Luma3DS to disable the FIRM0 and FIRM1 integrity scanner, since it's an ARM9 function (in which is already initialised). So unless sighax is released (which will allow access to ARM9 functions), we'd be stuck with nowhere to go, except to tell users NOT to update to 11.4.0-37.

So we have to be prepared for this, which will be bound to happen in the next update, no doubt about it. We have to be ready to release sighax before Nintendo patches arm9loaderhax.

Not to also mention that they will patch soundhax in the next update too.

It doesn't work like that. The a9lh payload runs before the firmware (and yes, that includes the arm9 kernel) even boots. Thus any such checks can simply be patched out.

I think you're being a wee bit paranoid lol.

This is just a what if but if the switch was easily moddable, what mods would you like to see

 

[petethepug]

...
Probably some Homebrew games, backup loaders, emulators & various extras like NTR & httpwn.

For what? The switch? Hum... It will be... more complicated. Don't expect something, until Nintendo makes big mistakes.

I know, I wasn't expecting that to come launch day, or over night .
