Nintendo has pushed out a new firmware update for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, 11.9.0-42. It's currently not known exactly what this update brings to the table, but as always, you might want to wait to see what scene developers say before updating your 3DS, if you want to keep using homebrew. The last update, 11.8.0.41, was released in July 2018, and managed to break multiple homebrew applications upon its initial release, so it's recommended to stay on your current firmware for the time being. As always, the patch notes are for the sake of stability.

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

That was unexpected (again)!
And so another nearly useless update, yay. I haven't been able to test stuff right away as it was quite late here when it was released, but I've also done some tests - some of which I didn't see mentioned here, which is why I'm posting this in the first place:

• Luma, & Homebrew (Rosalina) work out of the box, which was expected.
• NTR CFW works, no BootNTR update required.
• The browser does indeed seem to support TLS 1.2 now. I've also tried other tests and all seem to report the same.
• I'm not too sure about this, but *hax payloads seem to be unaffected. Not that it matters too much nowadays to be honest, but if you want to follow the guide it's still better to wait until the payloads get officially updated to support 11.9.

So, yeah. Nothing to see here, really.

Hax payloads are still used by non-Luma CFW for loading 3dsx format homebrew but that's about it.

well now i have a reason to figure out how to return my home menu to stock.

True, but considering that Luma is the recommended CFW by the guide and that all other ones are either dead or haven't been updated in ages I don't think many people will care about that. Plus if you want to use one of those you can still use CIA homebrew, unless what you want to run is only available in 3dsx but that's really rare (or you could grab the source and make a CIA yourself, which shouldn't be a big issue as those alternative CFWs are developer-oriented anyways).

So, yeah. Your average user is pretty much only going to use *hax to follow the guide, then forget about it.

This is so stable, my DS doesn't even need the edge of a counter to stand on.
It stands mid-air

Someone got 3 rewards for the fix of this update

Wow, the person that updates the Nintendo Update website must have a button on their keyboard that says:
"ENHANCE STABILITY"
I would hate to have to keep copy and pasting.

You gave me an idea, I'm making an AutoHotKey script of that

Make sure to share it with me!

If my 3ds gets any more stable, it's gonna have horses in it

I didn't think you were being serious!

Well I mean, that script is literally two lines of "code" (if you can call ahk's horrible scripting language "code")

I don’t think it even deserves to be called “script” either, it’s worse than vbs

 

[ZachariasBarnham]

Hmm, just what we all needed. Can the 3DS get any more stable?

Nintendo: YES!

Also, nice blue Santa hats, everyone. I have one in real life. It's awesome.

 

[elBenyo]

Stability intensifies... xD I just started to wonder when last time they added new features to our systems?

Badges, but I forget when they came along.

I've been out of 3DS scene for a while. So Luma is still a thing? Nintendo doesn't ban people for playing online anymore?

"to enhance the user experience"
All it is is another glass wall in our faces in the hidden underground Homebrew war while the rest of the world goes on with their happy little lives.
Darn you, Nintendo.

Luma is the only currently active CFW. Nintendo has only banned people in "one and a half" banwaves (aka the first big one and occasional users who played leaked games online before release, whether they were Pokémon or others). That aside, no one has been banned for playing online with CFW even with pirated games: unless you're doing blatantly stupid stuff, you're fine.
