Today, Nintendo released a new Firmware update for the Nintendo 3DS. Took a long time to download for me, about 5mn or so.

Bring the Firmware to 11.5.0-38, but no idea what it does just yet... support page isn't up to date yet.

Edit: JP support page only mentions "stability"... so yeah, bring on your GIFs, I guess.

Is it region free yet?

Josh7289 · Jul 11, 2017

Expecting horses.

Hamster Plugin · Jul 11, 2017

At this point in the system's life it's just patching exploits for homebrew/piracy.

And stability.

Anime_Lamp · Jul 11, 2017

It does exactly what you think it does.

flipswitch · Jul 11, 2017

I really hope this fixes up the faulty battery indicator!

( I've been saying this every firmware update)

Guess Who · Jul 11, 2017

There is almost certainly never going to be a major feature update for the 3DS ever again.

Firehead · Jul 11, 2017

Yay, stables!

It's saying ' Your system is up to date' for me.

Is the os still 720p?

Fake edit - damn wrong console

Madao · Jul 11, 2017

zzzzzzzzzzz

better for me since it would only push me away from the badge arcade and do something else.

Weird, there most definitely was an update today.

I wonder what they... euh... stabilised today. Last one fixed quite a few exploits, iirc.

NOLA_Gaffer · Jul 11, 2017

Probably not even worth making a thread about.

Dingens · Jul 11, 2017

I wonder if they added a new ways to trace homebrew. has anybody checked if the upgrade turned the "send information" thing on again?
From what I recall, a few people claimed that one of the earlier updates (before the ban wave) did something like that

Updated for me, yay now I feel special!... not really.

Opa-Pa · Jul 11, 2017

So when do people start asking for a Switch port?

Would the 3DS require a system update to allow for system transfers to the new 2DS XL? Or does the 3DS OS use thumbnail images to identify the various system iterations somewhere in the OS and they'd need to add a new 2DS XL image? Stuff related to the launch of the new 2DS XL are the only things I can think of.

system update required. this is probably to stop people from hacking the n2DS on day 1.

I suppose it's possible that the new firmware would allow it to detect if it's running on "new" hardware with the enhanced capabilities but still know to not display the Super Stable 3D calibration and stuff. Has anyone said what firmware New 2DS XL ships with and does it match this update?

SalvaPot · Jul 11, 2017

It can run Switch games now, thanks Nintendo!

/s

Blam · Jul 11, 2017

Holy shit I can play Destiny on my 3DS thanks Nintendo.

Lil Marco · Jul 11, 2017

Most likely under-the-hood preparations for the 2DS XL. Or patching piracy exploits. Or both.

LoveCake · Jul 11, 2017

Just had mine up-date here in the UK.

Elaugaufein · Jul 11, 2017

AFAIK this doesn't patch any publicly known current exploits. It does break *hax payloads (probably by accident since the *hax payloads are kind of fragile due to their nature) but I think the updated payloads for N3DS are already out, O3DS payloads remains broken unless you're on a CFW (as they have been for several updates now)

The main purpose of this seems to be bringing the various system titles into line with the versions on the 2DS XL.
