A new firmware update for the Nintendo 3DS has been released earlier today, bringing the console out to version 9.8. The change log is basically non-existent, serving as a stability update that enhances the overall user experience. We know by now what that usually means though....

Update released: June 1st, 2015

Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience.

Based on initial browsing, the Sky 3DS is confirmed to still work on the latest firmware. Feel free to discuss it here. Gateway 3DS and other flash chips unknown, will update with more information.
