It's time to update! No, not your Nintendo Switch--go dust off your Nintendo 3DS, because Nintendo has just pushed out a brand new firmware release for the old handheld. Version 11.17.0-50U is available now to download, offering the general promises of stability that we've come to enjoy so much. The update is so late in the Nintendo 3DS's lifespan, that the firmware updates have outlasted the system's own eShop. The ylws8bot Twitter account notes that under the hood and guise of stability, some minor changes to the eShop app, System Settings, and Internet Browser were detected. Be wary of updating to the new firmware.

Ntrboot you mean? If so, yes.

No that's why I wrote NTR CFW. Ntrboot can't be patched.

Nintendo is really out screaming “Fuck the world” right now.

 

[HarveyHouston]

The Nintendo 3DS is destined to be THE MOST STABLE CONSOLE IN THE UNIVERSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joking aside, why now? Is it because of the EU laws? Are they feeling guilty about closing the eShop? Is this the absolutely final update, or are they planning for more content?

Questions, but no answers...

You mean BootNTR Selector? Was it working in 11.16? It wasn't updated for awhile i think.

It was updated for 11.16 after the update released: https://github.com/Nanquitas/BootNTR/releases/tag/v2.13.7

So maybe it'll be updated this time too.

I think so too but that was not my question I asked if anyone already updated to 11.17 and maybe it works without any changes (Home Menu was updated so maybe not?).

I wonder if THIS is what caused Pokémon to delay the HOME update.

Because of Pokémon Bank being free, there’s a much higher chance of hacked Pokémon.

Patching the 3DS would make it harder to create illegally generated pokemon.

I hope this karma comes and gets them.

If the home menu was updated the new offsets probably need to be found, I used to know how to do it but would need to look into it again given that it's been years. If no one else has done it I'll take a look later today probably.

Yup, sounds like a Nintendon't moment alright

God, Nintendo. Make up your mind.

...they really just can't let people enjoy things in peace, can't they?
Even after the 3DS' dead and buried, they have to make sure nobody can't enjoy them old games, nope, it physically pains them the idea that someone might pirate or emulate their old games.
Fuck you. Just fuck you, shittendo. You're so fucking pathetic.

ntrboot remains cool and good.

This can't be fixed through a software update, it's a hardware exploit

 

[SylverReZ]

Currently, exploits on 3ds.guide have been patched by this system update. Don't upgrade your system for the time being.

 

[MichiS97]

Guys... Honestly. Calm down. ntrboot still works and cannot be patched.

 

[k7ra]

They updated eshop and make if freeshop?
Stability, 3ds was never so stable!

If people just spend 5-10mins hacking their PS3 they can watch Blu-rays from anywhere in the world and not have to worry about the keys expiring.

There was a time I wanted to watch a Blu-ray I own and what happened? I couldn't because my PS3 was on an outdated FW.

CFW doesn’t need updated keys?
