Just today, Nintendo 3DS firmware 11.4.0-37 has been released. I saw no other posts on this so far, so I am posting it. Here is what I found so far has been either temporarily or permanently broken/patched.

BootNTR Selector: Working with latest version (2.7.3)

UDSploit: Patched

Soundhax: Patched (Finally Nintendo... Lmao)

Safehax: Doesn't work without UDSploit, so therefore broken.

11.4.0-37 fixes the slowdown bug for some games like OOT3D that 11.3.0-36 has introduced. Confirmed by @Feffe

Please let me know if anything else got patched. Yes, of course, if you have A9LH+Luma3DS, you can safely update.

It's not the OFW. It's Luma3DS.


They don't care about DS flashcarts anymore. Only 3DS flashcarts get blocked. They stopped caring about DS flashcarts around 6.0.

It's Luma that was blocking the R4? Not the OFW? I'm confused guys...

Luma wouldn't block it. The point of Luma3DS is to UNBLOCK flash carts (And do a bunch of other cool shit)

I thought so. That's why I was assuming the 11.4 OFW was blocking it. Only after updating Luma did the R4 card work again.

I recommend updating the first page of this thread with a warning regarding R4 cartridges.

So am I safe to update? I'm using Luma3DS and I have the NTR Selector 2.3.7

Yes. Just update NTR-CFW

Is 2.3.7 not the latest version? I looked it up and that's what I found. The link was uploaded 20 some hours ago so I figured it was fresh and new.

I thought it was 3.X but, maybe not then

Okay, you must be thinking of the 3.2, 3.3, & 3.4 that you select within the selector. I was wondering if the selector app's latest version was 2.3 7.

Oh I understand. Ok well, I've no clue about the selector app itself

I'm a little lost. So, what are my options if I have a N3DS with A9LH and Luma3DS that is currently on 11.3.0-36?

Normally since I am already on A9LH and Luma3DS these small stability updates don't seem to be an issue and I update anyway.

But this 11.4 one seems far more extensive than previous ones in terms of what it changes/blocks. Am I still safe if my N3DS has A9LH and Luma3DS to update to this? Or is it still risky for now? I don't really play DS games on my 3DS, just my own 3DS carts that I dumped to CIA, as well as 3DS-Ware that I bought from the e-shop, and homebrew apps designed to backup/restore my save files between my physical carts and CIA versions.

Mainly, I want to update to access the e-shop and Badge Arcade again.

And if it does cause problems, since I have A9LH would I be able to restore a NAND backup of my previous firmware through A9LH? Or would updating to 11.4 somehow prevent that too?

I saw some people mention that CIAs have stopped working for some on 11.4. Does that mean homebrew apps installed by CIA? Or also games I installed by CIA will stop working if I update? Some of my homebrew apps installed by CIA such as SOON!2 and JKSM haven't been updated in a while, and doesn't seem likely they will have a 11.4 update anytime soon, dunno if they will still work on 11.4.

Nintendo gave up updating the whitelist for ds games a while ago.

if th ewhitleist hasn't been change,d then ofw 11.4 will still run r4is.

Has this been confirmed?

@EliteGamer105

Luma3DS patches were broken.

Has this been confirmed?

It's general knowledge from what I understand.

It's what N implemented into OFW and how the reboot patches also work, breaking GBA VC, etc, so in effect, caused issues with R4 cards also. Latest Luma nightly fixes those issues, yet personally I don't use nightlies as they are for testing and not for general use. Ideally, people should stay on 11.3 and wait for a 6.7 version of Luma officially with all the changes applied because there is no need for 11.4 right now.

I understand.

However my point about the warning for R4 cartridges is towards people who don't have CFW like me until recently. My R4 worked on my Official Firmware 11.3 with no problems, however that doesn't seem to be the case any longer.

At this point, I am not entirely sure if it was indeed the new 11.4 firmware, or Luma not being updated that blocked my R4 Gold Pro 2017, but if it is the first, then people should not update to 11.4 if they want to use their R4's.

My R4 is of no avail now too after updating carelessly to 11.4. Will have to wait for Luma6.7.

What I feared exactly.

Try updating luma to latest hourly. It fixed it for me.

Is it ok to update rxtools emunand? I don't remember which emunand firmware i'm currently using, around 11 i think.. )

updating rxtools emunand will result in a black screen Its dead... So luma is your best option if you want to update.

You need to get with the times kiddo and stay current. Rxtools is dead and abandoned with no support whatsoever now.
