Just when you think the 3DS just can't possibly get more stable, Nintendo is there to remind us. A new system update 11.7.0-40 was pushed out to consoles on June 18. The age-old quote straight from Nintendo detailing the changes made is below. Of course, with the 3DS still getting official games and support from Nintendo, it's very likely we'll continue seeing software updates for a while yet, even if they're sporadic.

• Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience

Is there actually any point to keep releasing updates without actually adding something worth updating? I thought the system was impossible to patch since that magnet thing was discovered.

Preventing possible bricks on non-modded 3DSs--not sure how much this is a thing? It's pretty useless if their changelogs almost never mention anything worthwhile and are so incredibly vague that we don't even know if they've added something worth updating for--beyond having to to keep using online services. *sigh*

But I'm american. (Not good enough excuse right?)

It would be... but it's easier and cheaper, in the long run (in general, not of the 3DS) to not need to provide different products/services to different people based on which apparently identical sub-model of your product they bought

My 'user experience' remained the same, not improved at all. Nin lies again.

 

[OblivionReign]

Another one. Fixes some entry points?

Fixes none

The Stargate3DS also still works .

So what's actually changed?
Usually there's someone who figures that out and knows exactly?

I think it was either Yellows8 or Smealum.

Just asking for technical details, because that's interesting.

For the n3ds the following have changed: Home Menu, error applet, Nintendo Zone hotspot list CFA, CVer, Web browser Data, New3DS NVer.

Does the hbl cia work on Rei-Six or CakesFW if you rename the 11.6 payload? If not then assuming the payloads aren't updated for 11.7 then how hard would it be to make a payload that uses svcBackdoor instead of whatever exploit they are using now for process takeover?

Smea released new payloads rather quickly, and they work fine with the hblauncher loader CIA, just grab the otherapp payload from http://smealum.github.io/3ds/, name it as <OLD/NEW>-11-7-0-40-<USA/EUR/REGION HERE>.bin (for example, my N3DS would use NEW-11-7-0-40-USA.bin), and stick it in the hblauncherloader folder on your SD card.

Read 3dbrew's pages named after the version numbers, if you want that information

Does this attempt to block Seed miner or ntrboot? I heard it blocks anoughter alternative of seed miner but not seed miner itself

 

[guily6669]

God damn it... Does anyone have the the files to update GW emunand to this last FW? I have GW emunand and updated with a .cia app with offline updates to the last system update before this one since GW never updated the card...

Not that I care much as I never use the console and never played online but mehhh...

Ntrboot and b9s are for the most part unblockable. In theory it might be possible to block them via a MCU firmware update (think DMA injection/DMA attack) but that would be extremely risky for Nintendo and would likely result in alot of bricks.

Yep, and all the *hax work now as well.

Did they not remove the discontinued Miiverse thing?

 

[Ryccardo]

No, as they have said for... over a year

God damn it... Does anyone have the the files to update GW emunand to this last FW? I have GW emunand and updated with a .cia app with offline updates to the last system update before this one since GW never updated the card...

Someone would have to patch the new titles to depend on the 11.2 kernel instead of the latest one (11.4?) - it's easy but tedious -- and frankly you don't even need to really update (unless you want access to the official eShop), as not even the friends driver version was changed!

 

[guily6669]

I'm on 11.6 something on Gateway emunand though its a temporary nand just for Steamworld Dig 2 on the original 2GB SD card as my main emunand in the 16GB SD is still on like 11.3...

Yeah, not that I bother, I just like having latest updates on everything

 

[MrLucariox]

3ds is so stable that it can revive itself and fight against payloads lol (I know that's too much)

 

[HEADBOY]

Man I think the 3DS is more stable than anyone's marriages at this point.
