Is lie. I can still get to Miiverse on my 3DS and mobile device.
Edit: I noticed he said that text was changed. I thought this was implying that the service ended. Sorry.

I have mocha and haxchi installed thru the ds game but didn't bother with cbhc, I use the mocha icon to load instead of coldbooting right into it. I gather from all posted so far that if you don't care about or need the browser entrypoint to load stuff, a la loadiine, the update is safe, is that correct?

What about dlc under cfw, is that still working? I heard some speculation that was broken.

Why would they lie. The presence of that string doesn't mean it's come to pass yet.

[KhenemetHeru]

What's the AOC overlay thing that was updated, and does it affect dlc grabbed with Wii U USB Helper?

 

[Zoloco]

Whoa... I'm out to install haxchi before anything happens!!

waiting for someone to make a ctr-httpwn like program so we can access eShop without updating (like the 3DS) and buy a DS game
because i don't have a Wii U and i'm planning to get one

Edit: Whoa, 302 people on the thread.

At best wait a month to see if there are any exploits still not patch.

Otherwise no.

I'm in the same boat as you. Damn orange light.

NNU Patcher is what you're looking for. Spoof to 5.5.2 using @iAqua 's guide then use NNU patcher

Not dead yet

But it will be, that's why the text was updated.
I think it's likely they'll do it by 2018 to focus on the Switch's infrastructure.
