So just to confirm, nothing related to either TWL or AGB mode has been changed?

Not to my knowledge, but to be safe I've already tested them and couldn't any issues.

update: Luma3DS Updater (CIA) works perfectly now, not sure why it used to be broken for me

Don't want CFW, only need userland.

CFW is much more convenient.

Hmm... even with the luma update, the 3DS I'm working on is only showing a black screen on boot. Anything I might have missed?

Finally went through the title list on the update one by one and it looks like they haven't. Though I wonder if github and sites that use Lets Encrypt certificates will work now since the SSL module was updated.

was this really to stop hackers from pirating games? that's what really pisses me off about Nintendo. they sell what 26-28 million mario kart 8's on the switch, several times more than final fantasy vii remake sold, yet they still think virtually everyone is pirating on their systems, so they won't add features, just hurdles.

Nope, it won't. This was a remote browser exploit which was patched because it could be exploited by a malicious website, no different than when they patched the streetpass exploit which could be used to remotely brick systems. The only reason Luma broke is because it relies on patching specific code patterns which will often change whenever a new kernel comes out, if you have ever played Fallout 4 or Skyrim on PC with mods then you know how after a game update you have to wait for F4SE/SKSE to be updated to match.

So nothing can be done about BrowserHax?

Nintendo 3DS, so stable you could run the 2020 Presidential Election off of it.

CFW already

Also, one weird thing that I noticed is that the github download link (not url, the link that you see in Chrome's downloads page via CTRL + J) uses Amazon's AWS, but GitHub is owned by microsoft, and doesnt MS have their own server infastructure?

Is downloading firmware files directly to PC even possible anymore?

I have never had problems with CFW

Sure, maybe you haven't. Maybe most people haven't – there's certainly no disputing that a lot of fine work has gone into Luma and everything else. But there's still people coming into these forums every day because they managed to run into one kind of problem or another.

Cause the eshop still makes them a fortune I would guess.

Freeshop's long been dead, and all the times I've downloaded CIAs from the 'net, you can't buy DLC with titles you haven't legitimately bought.
Might be a region thing, though - I could dump one of my own games as a CIA, transfer that file to a different New 3DS XL, install it, and then purchase DLC using it.

I dont even see the logic of releasing firmware if they already retired the 3DS family.
