ROM Hack CFW on new 3DS

[Fife Dawg]

I have not used my new 3DS for a few years but now want to get into the cfw scene, the ofw on my 3DS is version 11.4.0-37E, do I need to update to the latest ofw before I try to instal and run Luma and all the other cfw applications?

it says update to 11.14 before proceeding with CFW installation.

Okay thanks and how do I stop the 3DS updating beyond ofw 11.14?

When there is new firmware, newer support would be added so no worry.

Just don't update, turn off automatic updates and wait until the Luma3DS team sends out the ok to update. In most cases it only takes them a few minutes to maybe a few hours to fix any OFW updates that break it.

Okay thanks all, I don’t have any cfw installed at all so not sure if that makes a difference?
