It's stability time! A brand new update is out, for the Nintendo 3DS. Firmware version 11.12.0-44 has just released, bringing with it...well, no one knows exactly what it brings with it just yet. The yls8 page shows the update having gone out for most regions tonight, but Nintendo's official website hasn't updated to show the changelog (and obvious stability additions) as of the time of writing. What we do currently know is, a handful of titles have been updated thanks to this new firmware, including NVer, CVer, StreetPass, friends system-module, NATIVE_FIRM and Web browser data. More information will be added as things become more clear.

UPDATE: And to no one's surprise, here are the patch notes from Nintendo:

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

Currently, Luma still boots, but is not confirmed to be 100% working, while other homebrew and CFW are being tested.

[Something whatever]

I haven't updated any of my 3DSs since I think Summer update.

 

[BlueFox gui]

OH MY GOD BINTENDO
how do you know i wanted MORE STABILITY?????
THANK YOU SO MUCH

 

[Dr.Hacknik]

The Nintendo 3DS is more stable than my mental health.

Therapists should use these for patients

 

[Darkshadow1997]

What would be nice in a new update would be removing any discontinued apps such as Miiverse.

 

[Pipistrele]

Oh wowsies! Now it's more stable than consistency of bad stability jokes in this thread!

 

[|<roni&g]

I haven’t played mine since the update we needed a new file for (other app.bin I think) looking to get back online soon but dno what i’ll to do...

Please don't steal my joke, thank you very much.

Please don't steal my joke, thank you very much.

You mean your joke that's been made longer than you've been a member of this site? :^)

personally, if you want likes, 3ds update jokes are a stable market

 

[Voyambar]

This is completely unexpected...new games in 2020 maybe?

 

[SpencerlyEverly]

What a stable update for the 3DS.

What's next, unstability?

 

[Alex658]

Venezuela should start using 3DS' as their currency since they are probably more stable!

Me, a Venezuelan, can confirm and vouch for that to be true.

I actually invested in 4 3DS's while i lived in Venezuela merely because they were actually more profitable to have as goods than the actual money on the bank!

Surprised to see that Nintendo still bothers to update the system this late in it´s lifecycle. Oh, well.

*insert J. Jonah Jameson laughing here*

 

[SS4]

Its about damn time, i was starting to feel a hint of instability on the brink of showing up on mine so i'm glad they fixed it already!

No, that would be horrible! It would kill revival attempts!

 

[Darkshadow1997]

No, that would be horrible! It would kill revival attempts!

I did not know that there were people doing revival attempts.

Seriously. Likewise for the Wii U. When TVii stopped service they removed that entirely from the Wii U. Yet the Miiverse remains, completely inaccessible. I suppose the Wii U would likely demand an update for the WaraWaraPlaza at that since the 2 are directly tied together, displaying something different on the second screen like just a splash screen for the title you're currently highlighting or whatever would suffice. But I know the Wii U is far more dead than the 3DS, so this likely wont ever happen officially.

Interesting. I’ll be sure not to update my 3DS until it is confirmed whether Homebrew will work or not. Thanks!

I'd update my N2DS XL if the battery didn't die completely (as in, no capacity) and since replacing one is a royal pain in the ass, yeah, no thanks.
I'd send it in to Nintendo but since it's hacked, not happening either.
