Hello. I have ironhax currently installed. I want to update my firmware so I can download the latest smash bros. patch. Will updating my 3DS stop ironhax from working?

Current firmware is 10.1.0-27U

No, but you will need to update your payload. Be VERY careful when doing so, or else you might lose access to homebrew. Here is a step by step guide:
  1. Install themehax as a fail safe. (I'm assuming you aren't on 10.2.)
  2. Delete your Ironfall save to uninstall the hax.
  3. Go to the homebrew loader via themehax, and install the new payload.
  4. Update. Make sure you install the new payload before updating!

I just did this for SteamWorld Heist. Loaded up IronHax installer, added the 10.3 payload (beside my 10.1 payload) then performed the system update. Great success! I lost ThemeHax and holding the L button does nothing now. Best of luck!

Because themehax doesn't work on 10.3.

Sorry for the strange question, but where would I get the payload I need to install, and what would I use to install it? I installed themehax and deleted my ironhax save
You don't need to download a payload, the installer does it for you. I believe you just need to select your system version when it loads up. You can find the ironhax installer in the homebrew starter pack.

Alright, I installed the 10.3 payload from the ironhax installer. Although now when I try to update from the system settings menu, it keeps telling me an error has occurred, and that it will restart the system. Any idea on what to do about this?

And your internet is on and stuff? Try restarting the system again.

Yeah, tried multiple restarts and still getting the error. Could Themehax be the culprit here?
I don't think so, and I wouldnt try deleting it. (Or changing your theme.) Then you would lose access to homebrew. How did you install ironhax in the first place? You need another way of using homebrew to install it.

i just want to add that you shouldnt just delete the save. i recommend just reinstalling ironhax again in a new slot with the updated payload. its much easier and less of a risk of it not working in the event the secondary hax method didnt work.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
