Nintendo was kind enough to send out a nice little update of that piece of hardware they no longer are willing to sell games on. Surely it is full of goodies for all 3DS owners. But maybe it's not in your best interest to download it.

If you have CFW it allegedly breaks a lot of functionality to the point where nothing works.

I mean, if you have CFW, the fuck are you running official updates for?

If you haven't modded yet, don't update. This update breaks all of the exploits currently used for modding the console

Maybe, but we don't brag about it and act all offended when called out on it. Or try to justify our piracy by saying its not really stealing or in the name of game preservation.

imagine, just imagine spending time, money and effort developing and pushing an update for a dead system you've sword not to support anymore, whose eshop you just killed, just to tell "fuck you" to the people that still use it.

Might as well sell a game, take the money and then say "fuck you" and not give gamers the game, if they hate consumers so much

You're fools. Pirating is practically a duty. Unless you like most games being lost to time simply because they're no longer for sale.

Nintendo is selective about what aspects of copyright law it acknowledges and what it prefers to ignore, so fuck them.

If you already have CFW (IE, Luma) it's safe to update as usual. There's not really a reason to since it adds nothing, but if you want to you can.

Eventually you won't be able to use online features in games/apps if you're not on the latest firmware, and I may need to transfer Pokemon from past gens into Bank (and then into Home) in the future. I've got my CFW updated, so it's safe for me to update my 3DS too.

solosnake posted...

There are two methods that still work even after this update, but both of them require external hardware (one way requires a second already hacked 3DS and a copy of Mario Kart 7, the other requires a certain type of DS Flashcart) to pull off. All of the methods that you can do with only your 3DS and an SD card were patched with this latest update, so if you have a 3DS but haven't installed CFW, don't install this update.

Still breaks CFW for law abiding citizens as well so no reason to ever download that update. The 3DS isnt capable of detecting legal and illegal usage of roms, or in some case no roms only homebrew
