Hacking FAQ about 3ds system update 11.3

[Pokemon Fan]

DONT use the updater. use the latest stable, which is version 6.6, which i linked in the OP

What? But then how do I install it? and like I said I did all the cfw process in january and they say the update is from november so I'm almost sure I have 6.6. Why can't I use the updater? Will I have to do the whole process again??

What is wrong with the updater?

Nothing, it just installs nightlies that are buggy in comparison to the stable releases on the Git. More often than not it just causes more unnecessary threads because people don't know how to troubleshoot said bugs. Especially when it comes to noobs, using hourlies of ANYTHING when there are stable releases is just asking for issues.

No just go to the release page and download the zip then replace your arm9loaderhax.bin. You can always check your Luma version in the config screen by holding select on boot. If you already have v6.6 you don't need the latest hourly. Period. You're fine with that.

The Luma updater should give you the choice between latest stable or nightlies just use the latest stable.

Edit: nvm your good since your on 6.6

press start to save, or just reboot

press start to save, or just reboot

Pressing the power is not shutting the screen down. and I'm afraid of having double clicked and maybe marked an option during the select process so I don't want to save

it does, but its way less confusing to just download from the offical git. it would only be a need if you didnt have a computer/android on hand

Well, I holded it. It still didn't shut down but after a delay of like 3 seconds without pressing it turned off. thanks very much for your help, man!

Are you using Gateway? Because I updated both my systems just fine, I even reverted my o3ds a few times and updated to test if it was a fluke, everything still works.

and dont worry about if you ticked something, as luma is litterally the "noob-proof" cfw.

A good question would be "Is it just another AP patch?".

11.3 does it add anything worthwhile or just more anti-piracy. It's in the patch notes but I guess people ask this

just patches for antipiracy, nothing worthwhile.

So what is actually broken with Gateway? Just the game select menu again?

Just updated Lumas to 6.6 works fine
