Nintendo 3DS: new Firmware update now live (11.10.0-43)
- Thread starter Lite_Agent
- Start date
Probably. At this point, there's little incentive to update the firmware for any other reason than security.
Why make a dead system more stable? I don't get it.
Let it rest in peace, Nintendo. The 3DS had a good run.

Update details: https://yls8.mtheall.com/ninupdates/reports.php?date=05-27-19_08-00-37&sys=ctrhttps://yls8.mtheall.com/ninupdates/reports.php?date=05-27-19_08-00-41&sys=ktr
Updated titles: SpotPass system-module, Web browser Data, (EUR) Home Menu.
so it's safe to update from 11.8 to 11.10
The last anti hack update was 11.8.
I think this update to shutdown the spot pass in 3DS when time is ready.

This is not about hacking. There is no software to back it up anymore. Thing is dead and Nintendo is just letting things prepared.
I think he/she meant that there's little in the way of future software on release calendars to keep the 3DS propped up. I mean, Persona Q2 is about to drop, but other than that, the system is basically dead. I don't think there's any notable first-party software left announced and unreleased, and third-party support is quickly drying up as well.
I suppose it would explain why the last two firmware updates didn't include any new anti-hacking countermeasures...
Effort?
Nothing to replace it with?
I just see it as a gravestone now.
The only thing I could see them doing is adding in the ability to save screenshots through it.
Why haven't they removed it or the TVii button from the Wii U?
Now, flashcarts and cfw works, just not sure for homebrew exploits.
Same reason Sony never removed a bunch of crap from PSP XMB.
Oh. I read that as "getting things prepared," as in prepared for the shutdown of certain services, like Spotpass and whatnot.
/shrug
I'm convinced they don't want to remove it to confuse people. You wouldn't know the service is dead unless you clicked on it or followed online gaming news.
Wow, I just bought a refurb 3DS from Nintendo today for homebrew, hopefully it's not on the latest version.
Just played Zelda Spirit Tracks on my 3DS yesterday. That update must be a sign because I have to ship some mega ice to the volcano via train. The goron who sold it to me told me that I have to drive carefully. That stability update comes in really handy right now. I don't know if I can make it without it.

They actually did remove the TVii button in Europe, though that was a long while ago. I guess they would have removed Miiverse button if it was taken down earlier.
I'm going to guess that the reason they didn't remove the Miiverse button on the 3DS has something to do with themes, introduced alongside it. Maybe they'd have to touch up these, or at least include a replacement button.
