Yes, I know page isn't updated as of writing, but let's not kid ourselves about the content of the update

Edit: nvm, JP Support page confirms it's *tadam* just "stability".

And in come the stability gifs.

Garraboa · Oct 25, 2016

Well, they need to show shareholders they give a shit about their security, eh?

Mediking · Oct 25, 2016

I cant wait until the 3DS goes slowly goes away next year. I need some new Nintendo hardware!

I can't wait for the stability firmware updates for the Switch.

another attempt to squash homebrew entry points, if I had to guess

when was the last time Nintendo even added anything of note to the 3ds

Hopefully they won't have to if they decide to step up their security for once.

NoKisum · Oct 25, 2016

3DS-Switch compatibility confirmed!

Danny Dudekisser · Oct 25, 2016

The 3DS has become an extremely stable system.

They need to hire those PS3 & Vita security folk. 4 years of total security guaranteed or money back!

Linkark07 · Oct 25, 2016

By now 3DS should be one of the most stable systems ever.

Princess Viola · Oct 25, 2016

my little 3ds can't possibly be this stable

I'd love a new function added with the stability. I want to see how much more tricks it can do without falling over!

NOLA_Gaffer · Oct 25, 2016

I actually do get the occasional 3DS game crash on me. I wonder if these stability updates actually do anything with that.

Probably just anti-piracy stuff though.

Can't always fix buggy games with system firmware.

I don't see Nintendo officially allowing Linux installation on Switch, nor being especially happy with Vita-esque sales numbers.

Pokemaniac · Oct 25, 2016

Modules of note that were updated according to the reports linked at 3Dbrew:

friends module was updated. At minimum, this means the update will soon be required for online play
NATIVE_FIRM was updated, meaning some low level system code changed, but there is not much for specifics right now
The eShop got updated, but only in Europe. Not sure what that's about.

And then subsequently removing Linux compatibility.

Currygan · Oct 25, 2016

the 3DS has basically become immovable, like that fat guy from XMen

Madao · Oct 25, 2016

at least i did my system transfer business before the update this time.

these updates hit usually when it hurts the most.

Can you imagine if they started adding N3DS ram and CPU support on a per-game basis?

It'd be like they give a shit about their product.

That also wouldn't come in the form of a system update. That would generally happen through patching games.

Except custom firmware has a toggle that allows access on the fly and it improves performance (see: DQ7)

Doesn't Homebrew have Firmware Version spoofing? Would that work for online play?

Theswweet · Oct 25, 2016

So, who has the record for the number of stability updates now? PSP or 3DS?

Hermii · Oct 25, 2016

Stable as fuck.

You all got some more of those stability updates?

Some games requires you to sign to NNID,'s you have to be on last update (as far as i know).

You can approach it that way, but the cleaner and less risky solution is to recompile games individually. While the "just apply it to everything" approach is simpler, it carries a considerable risk, since it can introduce bugs. Unlike random homebrew devs, Nintendo actually have a considerable amount to lose from just turning on risky features like that.

J@hranimo · Oct 25, 2016

Stability update? You already know.

It's no longer current:

Smasher89 · Oct 25, 2016

It's suprising that the 3ds browser seems more and more unstable, even though we get all these "stability updates"

Miroku129 · Oct 25, 2016

Nothing new? Cmon Nintendo!

And that also introduces glitches and even crashes some games. Its not something you're just gonna flip the switch on and call it a day.

70 hours into DQ VII with unlocked power and not a single crash or glitch, in fact I never hat one in any game and I have unlocked the power at all time via luma

DXB-KNIGHT · Oct 25, 2016

Switchablity Update

Jacknapes · Oct 25, 2016

Extra stability, no harm with that at all.

frankie_baby · Oct 25, 2016

My little 3DS cant be that stable

Unless you are using cfw... In which case stability is another speed bump.
