Latest 3DS update enables browser breakout clone in western New 3DS systems
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in New Nintendo 3DS, News | 1 Comment
When the New 3DS launched in Japan last year, it came with a small (but neat) mini-game accessible via the web browser. It’s essentially a breakout clone. After applying today’s 3DS update, people in overseas territories should be able to try out the game as well.
Simply boot up the browser and visit the “New Tab” page. Then tap out the rhythm of the first notes of the Super Mario Bros. level music, and “STAGE SELECT” will appear. It’s now possible to hit a URL made out of bricks.

amiibo settings have also been added for regular 3DS owners (non-New 3DS). Nintendo reconfirms that a peripheral will be released later this year to make use of its figures.
Lastly, additional categories have been added to the Theme Shop under “View More”, and system stability/usability has been improved.

Last night’s 3DS firmware was more than just a simple stability update. We’re hearing that Nintendo made a change to the “ARM9 binary” in order to add a new layer of encryption.
With the increased security, Nintendo seems to be attempting to crack down on the Gateway flashcard. Owners of the device are now unable to run multiple ROMS from the same SD card.

Latest 3DS update said to partially address homebrew exploits
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 12 Comments
An exploit was recently released for the 3DS that allows the system to run fan-made homebrew. All of the work is done through the game Cubic Ninja, which is now naturally in high demand.
Nintendo just launched a new 3DS update tonight. As a result, it’s only to be expected that many are wondering if homebrew is affected. The short answer is yes.
Today’s firmware is said to address one of the later stage exploits in Cubic Ninja. Two exploits still work apparently, though 3DS owners who are interested in homebrew may want to hold off on updating their system.
