A new firmware update for the Nintendo 3DS is available right now and... well, I'm sure you already have your jokes ready so you can post them.

Yup, this new update is a stability update.

Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience

Edit; 9.5.0-23, not 5.3.0....

Edit 2: yes, it breaks the region-free trick.

Kaybe · Mar 3, 2015

From 9.5 to 5.3.3, huh. You don't mean Wii U?

Andrefpvs · Mar 3, 2015

This update patches the web browser. Be careful if you use the region-free hack, it might patch that.

Also, it's 9.5.0-23.

Someone test gateway for us

So... is it?

KNT-Zero · Mar 3, 2015

I have a feeling they will release a major update when Club Nintendo is over. And probably it will include that money sucking Sticker Shop xD

And of course I wrote a 5 instead of 9.

looks like 9.5.0-23 is live ! patches web browser. not sure if it blocks the exploit used for regionthree yet but seems likely. DONT UPDATE!

Fuck, just ordered a new 3ds and now I won't be able to do a system transfer without updating my old one which I was planning to continue to use for regionthree. =(

Isotope · Mar 3, 2015

Screw it, I'll take the risk to see if Regionthree still works.

Call Nintendo and say the old system was obliterated or something and ask them to transfer your purchases.

I am a rare type of digital only sucker, would loose all my saves including my beloved streetpasses. =(

Wowfunhappy · Mar 3, 2015

Can almost guarantee the update broke region free. According to 3DBrew only the web browser was updated, and only on the Old 3DS.

Only one reason they would have done that.

BodiesWithoutOrgans · Mar 3, 2015

Maybe it's stops the pokemon web injections

Isotope · Mar 3, 2015

OK, so it does indeed look like it's been patched.

The usual method (Go into Download Play then go.scmods.com while DP is suspended. And yes, I have the .dat file in my SD Card root) doesn't boot out of region copies. I guess the positive out of this is it doesn't brick your system.

This is what I get when going to the site used to boot the game; It doesn't load the game and just stays on this page (Top Screen just stays blank).

Fuck yes this! I'm so pumped for that as silly as it sounds. Any game that features a rabbit I'm all for.

Cheesemeister · Mar 3, 2015

Is it region-free yet?

Nintendo will not lose this stability race.

Bronetta · Mar 3, 2015

My 3DS can't possibly be this stable.

RedToad64 · Mar 3, 2015

Cheesemeister said:

It's less region free now.

Madao · Mar 3, 2015

Cheesemeister said:

the opposite since it kills the region free hack apparently.

enzo_gt · Mar 3, 2015

Can anyone confirm if this fixes the Shuffle glitch or not?

Nope.

Madao · Mar 3, 2015

it's always the opposite with these. the only updates that actually enhance user experience are those that add new functionality. the rest are just bs.

Can anyone confirm if the Pokemon QR injection method still works?

...it never worked on n3ds anyway?

"Stability" lol

Cider · Mar 3, 2015

can someone test and see if this kills the Browser exploit for pokemon QR codes?

Nibel · Mar 3, 2015

Which team are you on? Stability or Freedom? Choose wisely, 3DS users.

What browser exploit Pokemon QR code?

Read above. My old 3ds xl has 20+ eshop games and I use regionthree for puyo puyo tetris, I would have to update it for system transfer. A new 3ds is not worth losing puyo puyo and my saves and streetpasses.

RIP RegionThree old code.
We hardly knew ye.

Also not going to get new games on old XL then.

SerTapTap · Mar 3, 2015

Booooo Nintendo. Oh well, at least I already transported my stuff and kept my old3DS offline so I can play my one region-locked game in peace.

Maximo · Mar 3, 2015

Still waiting for Gateway

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post hacks and stuff on gaf, but basically where you use the camera's QR reader to inject pokemon into your game. It doesn't work with the N3DS though, only original 3ds and 3dsXL

Kouriozan · Mar 3, 2015

RegionThree dead? Nooo

Do they force the update for you to use the web browser?

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
