Are you ready to give some extra unexpected stability to your console? That's right, Nintendo has just released a new system update for all 3DS models & regions! Firmware 11.10.0-43's changelog is exactly what you'd expect: "Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience". This means that, once again, the update only contains "under the hood" changes and no new features have been added. When it comes to hacking and homebrew, no vulnerabilities or CFW-breaking changes seems to have been made: as such, updating should be considered safe, but it's still recommended to wait until further confirmation before doing so.

This news thread will be kept up to date with any further info that may be useful to the end user.

UPDATE: CFW users can update safely. *hax payloads for older firmware versions are reported to be working on 11.10.0 for all regions except EUR. While they haven't been officially updated yet, an unofficial payload for EUR N3DS consoles can be found here (made by deadphoenix).

Nintendo is a troll

YouTube

Youtube is (was?) broken on the N3DS web browser. Maybe that's it?

 

[RedBlueGreen]

so no cfw breaking stuff this time huh,think we won this war by now,but i wonder if some new banning measures were installed?

I doubt that. They've already implemented the same ban measures as the Switch uses for banning pirates, which I think has something to do with detecting that you don't have the proper ticket to download the software (if you're doing the CDN download thing) and then banning you. They could probably ban you if they detect software without a proper Title ID but there's a chance that could affect legitimate users (let's say collectors who own demo kiosk units, or developers if dev units can connect to the internet)

The stablest console alive.

Weird, I got a SpotPass a couple hours ago, but it was announcing the "latest" update, 9.6.0-24U.

Also, YouTube is now available and there are demos for Tomodachi Life and Kirby: Planet Robobot.

In other news, PSP Firmware 6.66 just released, and allows users to boot a stripped-down version of Linux via Memory Stick!

While it is very stable, it is still not as stable as Chuck Norris' original version 1.0 of the firmware.

The PS3 says hello.

not anymore, something as simple as a psn name change can brick it

 

[Skeet1983]

Stability in yo face! Fear the stability!

The PS3 says hello.

Yup, I just booted my PS3 today, and found a new FW update 4.84? Does anyone know what has changed, if anything? I am holding off on updating as I use BSD (Bruteforce Save Data) and am afraid 4.84 breaks that usage. I may have to bite it and update as some of my PS3/PS4/Vita games have cross save support...

4th anniversary of Nintendo using the same patch notes for each update.

 

[Sakitoshi]

and suddenly the nasa and the fbi are really interested in using 3ds's as servers for its unbeatable stability.

Memes as old as the 3DS itself? Fitting enough.

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

This game system has the most updates I ever seen, where is the guinness book world record for this

 

[Owenge]

The 3ds is so stable it makes the US economy blush

 

[Bilong1265]

im sys 11.10.0-43U now

 

[playstays_shun]

Are there even new games coming out anymore for 3ds?

Persona Q2.

So, with Luma3DS 9.1, is it guaranteed safe to update?

 

[Diego788]

ah shit, here we go again...
more *s t a b i l i t y* for my 3DS

 

[larrypretty]

Why it's 3ds 11.10 not 12.0, I don't know the reason, but my R4i gold 3ds plus still works

Are you reciprocating assumed sarcasm with sarcasm, or is this a new thing? I'm confused.

 

[CTR640]

Maybe Nintendo added a hidden cryptomining code because it's one of the most popular handheld console. I wanted to buy one but my life is not stable lol
