system update

Nintendo has prepared a new 3DS firmware update. Version 9.6.0-24, which is needed in order to access the eShop, can be downloaded now.

Today’s update does a few things. First, Nintendo has added a Home Menu Layout setting, which lets users save/load up to eight layouts of the Home Menu with different theme and software icon arrangements.

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.

You can find today’s full update notes below.

Nintendo has released a new update for the 3DS bringing the system’s firmware up to version 9.5.0-23. Unsurprisingly, this one is all about improving stability.

Nintendo’s official patch note for today’s update states: “Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience.”

And that’s it! As always, you’ll need to download the update if you plan on accessing the eShop anytime soon.

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.

We just received a 3DS update earlier this week, but Nintendo has already prepared new firmware. Version 9.4.0-21 is now available for download.

Here are the full update notes:

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

That’s it! Not a major update, but one that’s required nonetheless.

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.

Yet another Wii U system update is now available. Version 5.3.0 can be downloaded by visiting system settings.

Speaking of system settings, that’s what today’s update is all about. You’ll now find a new category for amiibo. By visiting the amiibo settings, users can register an amiibo owner/nickname, delete data written to an amiibo, or reset amiibo.

Additionally, Nintendo has also improved Wii U stability and usability.
