Hacking New Update 10.6.0-31 Out Now

[TimX24968B]

There are people saying that when you update, you theme changes to default if you have already installed a custom one

Is that if you have menuhax installed beforehand or just themes through CHMM2? Also, would I just have to reinstall them with it?

JPN N3DS w/ Gateway: updated emunand to 10.6 successfully and all works OK.

Not at the time we couldnt. It was literally the night 10.3 came out an all haxx were broken or w/e
I just tested this and my custom theme stayed on 10.6 ;O;
(now to re-write my nand backup ;U; )

Did you install your custom theme through menuhax or chmm before updating?

Is that if you have menuhax installed beforehand or just themes through CHMM2? Also, would I just have to reinstall them with it?

May be that the theme is only wiped when installed with menuhax on sysnand, if someone can confirm it.
If your theme is changed to default, you'll need oothax or ninjhax to run chmm2 (if it is still compatible with 10.6).

Maybe menuhax is patched but we are able to set custom themes through chmm2

I am on a N3DS with Rei 10.5, is it safe to update EmuNAND?

yes, NATIVE_FIRM was not changed

 

[mary1517]

What whit legit CIAS installed on past firms? Did the update made them unplayable or anything?
What about Sky3DS+?

 

[Ericzander]

For anyone who've been out of the scene for a while, I just made a video on how to set up RxTools so that you can update your emuNAND to 10.6.

Anyway don't forget to backup FW 10.6.0-31 with 3DNUS
It always comes in handy to have backups before Nintendo cripples the downloads!
and i do hope you made a 10.5.0-31 backup to, don't know how fast Nintendo cripples older FW files.

Is this a forced update for online play and NNID logins like 10.5 was?

Every update from now until the end of the universe (or the end of support for the Nintendo 3DS, whichever comes first) will be.

I just played Smash online with no problem... (10.5E)

 

[Vinx]

Are you connected to wifi?

yes I am.

Yes.

except it isn't, at least for online play. https://www.3dbrew.org/wiki/10.6.0-31

Titles which uses friend-services(online multiplayer included) are not affected by this, since the friend-sysmodule wasn't updated. As long as the installed friend-module is for 10.5.0-30 no sysupdate-required message will be displayed with using friend-service functionality.

the only thing i must fear is if nintendo manages to update sysnand while on emunand

 

[SSMatt123]

I don't seem to be able to install the Spider Browser on 10.6

Doing so just makes a notification appear saying to perform system update to 'fix' it.

So yeah, if you want to hack pokemon it seems you have to use savedaterfiler now.

As far as I know this isn't possible.

 

[SSMatt123]

The only way potentially Nintendo could stop updating through normal means is to change the updater itself.

If it booted to system recovery, then updated it could force sysnand to update and erase emunand completely.

The only thing is they would have to quietly put out a prior update that changed system update to do that before releasing another one that actually does it, and by that point the piracy community will already be fully aware of it. There are homebrew apps that can update Emunand so it really wouldn't cause much of a problem outside of a few people that jump into it without thinking.

 

[Ryccardo]

Eh. I mean I can understand where you're coming from with this as I can't say it's been enjoyable for me either, but it's like you still got to understand it from Nintendo's perspective. They're a company in the business of making money. No wonder they're cracking down on homebrew and kernel exploits. If they were fine with giving their products away, they might was well slap a free price tag on their boxes with the words "please buy me I'm free" on it.

If they were really doing this for the money, they would publicly release the SDK and have a service to get your software verified, officially signed, and put on the eShop for a nominal dev account price and 30% of price if you make a paid app... oh, almost like they're doing for WiiU

Silly question here, if I update Rei to 10.6, what happens to auto boot? Will it still work?

nothing will happen to sysnand, so you won't lose menuhax/a9hl/etc
