2020 hasn't been the most stable year, but at least Nintendo is hard at work making sure that above all else, the Nintendo 3DS is the most stable thing in your life during these trying times. The system has just received a brand new firmware update, the first of 2020, to be exact, bringing the revision number to 11.14.0-46. Currently, the yls8 page shows us that a few changes were made regarding the web browser, NATIVE_FIRM, and more. The official changelog from Nintendo says the oh so popular phrase you've come to love:

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

Considering the random nature of this update, and the first few initial claims of those that took the plunge already, you might want to hold off on updating for right now, if you value having homebrew on your console. Reports state that Luma3DS is crashing, and that BrowserHax has been patched.

Sometimes I like to think Nintendo updates the 3DS not to break CFW, but instead to see what kind of stability jokes GBAtemp can come up with.

Problem being there hasn't been a good stability joke posted for about 3 years

The quality of the stability jokes have slowly stabilized with the stability patches posted by nintendo. To one up nintendo's stability patch with an omegalul joke would be a slap to the face and throw some instability to the balance of the universe. It's all about the meta.

Stay tuned next week for 11.15 fixing a bug introduced by poor testing of this update

Any (minuscule) noticeable changes to the browser?

The update was to block the browser exploit the last firmware version had.

Too much to sift through here. Is this a yay or a nay? Safe to yay? Or hold off with a nay?

[The_Monado_Satyr]

i may be late but i was just told to update luma then dl the update via a email from sudomemo, be careful i dont really follow the news, im just now getting flipnote back after not having it for years on my dsi

How is the 3DS (XL) btw? Fun or pass? I wanted to get one too but for some reason it never came true.
I would like to to play games on it (duh) and also watching .mp4 on it but from what I've gathered, the Switch doesn't have a media player to play mp4...

 

[Tiger21820]

But why no regional lockout removal? JUST GET RIDDA THE REGIONAL LOCKOUT ALREADY!!! But I guess more stability is fine, but a stability update won't fix my worn out charging port now, will it!?

 

[luigirockz]

Interesting that they sent an update even though the 3DS is discontinued, maybe they just finished wrapping work on it the firmware

It's working fine for me. When was this update released?

So far no problem for me, but if I do get a problem, I'm going to die.

I thought they discontinued support for the 3ds..?

Nintendo 3D already reached its Stability at level 100

Welp.

Since the previous Update didn't do anything to crash my New 3DS XL, I assumed this was another one of those, a parting gift so to speak. A repeatedly crashing startup is a gift of sorts, just not the type I was expecting ...

- Browserhax patched.
- Other unreleased exploits patched (don't know what).
- Luma3ds crashing but should be fixable.
https://github.com/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/releases/tag/v10.2.1 (here's the fix)

Use caution when updating if you have cfw.
If you don't have cfw, you might want to wait to update.

This did the trick for me. Thank you.
For those panicking and forgot how to do this, just unzip and copy-paste into the Micro SD's Root folder.
It will overwrite; I had to double check myself because it's been that long since I patched this from the PC.

I wouldn't say that, lol.

This system still has more bugs than the Amazon river.

 

[tomservo6]

I seem to be having trouble updating Luma3DS. I use the Luma updater and it says I'm on current version 6.6-b16d887. It downloads the latest version and says it updated. But both holding select when booting and going back in the updater still shows that version 6.6.

I also tried downloading the Luma zip from github, unzipping, and dropping it on the root of my SD and the same thing is happening. Still showing 6.6.

Any thoughts?
