3DS 10.6 firmware is here, brings insane levels of stability to the system. Also, patches exploits.
You’ve never experienced such stability in your life. You’re going to love 3DS Firmware 10.6 which was just released a few hours ago.
3DS 10.6 – the new features you’ve all been waiting for
The official update page on Nintendo states:
Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience
I hope your body can handle it. Such stability and user experience enhancements can be harmful and should not be taken lightly.
Oh, on a side note, Smealum mentions that 3DS 10.6 patches browserhax and menuhax. He states he should be able to get ninjhax and oot3dhax back up and running though, with a minor update of the payloads.
browserhax is also blocked. ninjhax/oot3dhax should be fine once i update the payloads.

So, if you like your homebrews, you know the drill: don’t update.
The browser was updated on both O3DS and N3DS.
FIRST
Ok guys grab your nuts and give a salute to the little japanese men behind the update.
Have to say, I’m surprised no ones done a basic writeup on the arm9loaderhax exploit recently released allowing true coldboot custom firmware and system brick recovery.
Because AFAIK, it’s still risky, and requires a hardmod if you want to minimize the risk. Such things are not as accessible for the average user. I’m thinking of using this at some point though
Technically, _anything_ requires a hardmod to minimize risk =P
The new OTP guide is pretty safe, the actual downgrade is done in EmuNAND and the flash to SysNAND is straightforward after. I’ve not heard any bricks from it (though some from A9LH installer itself, since everyone has to compile it)
I guess I know what I’m doing next time I have free time!
As much as that gif proves your point it bothers me a little because it looks like it was originally kinda animal cruelty or something along those lines 🙁
This is not an animal, it is a robot. Look up “boston dynamics” on google.
Oh what about robot cruelty then… .D
Goes to show that they did a good enough job with the movements of the robot to have me fooled 🙂
Wow such stability much improvements.
3ds cfw piracy is amazing. I still buy most games but im so glad I pirated fire emblem fates special edition. No way im paying 99.99 for the game plus 40 dollars in dlc.
Well, yeah, Nintendo is always a *** so they deserve that
Well those stability fixes must be doing some awesome work since i never had any stability issues with 3ds.
I’ve set up my N3DSXL so perfectly I never need to turn wireless on again so doesn’t matter what they do it wont ever bother me.
Do what I do everyone, set it up, turn wireless off and enjoy forever. When you turn wireless on and it connects thats when the problems start.
lol at the guy who said first but was second
His comment was actually posted before. I dunno why it appears after.
Nintendo used Firmware Update.
It was not quite effective. :p
Boy oh boy, stability updates! I don’t know why they even bother unless they actually add features since they don’t provide real changelogs.
Hackers used HaXX.
Homebrew access was identified.
Nintendo used Firmware Update.
It had little effect.
Hackers used Payload Upgrade.
Nintendo Became Confused.
I forgot to say: A wild tiny 3DS appears! 😉
OK so the update was meant for actual firmware on sysnand and so anybody who gets a 3DS and has ofw passed 10.3 for now is done. So there shouldnt be celebration this pretty much like ps3 when you go passed 3.55 ofw your done unless you hardmod to get back to 3.55 but even then when tendo starts to make newer motherboards to prevent modding you better buy old versions of new 3ds and reg 3ds.
Actually it’s way better than the ps3’s situation. Once you’re past 3.55 you’re out of luck unless you let someone perform a $100 downgrade for you. On the 3DS we’ve been able to downgrade and use cfw’s at least 2 to 3 different instances over the course of the firmware cycle. Also, once you’ve obtained a certain homebrew entrypoint it has become pretty much unpatchable, and who wouldn’t like to have Oot 3D? Awesome game and awesome entrypoint, and still not patched, just like cubic ninja. So you’re pretty much guaranteed userland homebrew from every point onward, the ps3 doesn’t even have userland homebrew.
*** nintendo
I thought the title was a joke, but I set my 3DS down on a table, then turned my back and walked away. 15 minutes later I returned and the 3DS hadn’t moved! Stability success!
wonder when team gateway will patch it up, still waiting
omg this could be this best post ever i came back to read it a second time XD
Can you install ninjhax on a 10.6 n3ds?
i think you can but if not u can use Ocaina of time 3d
Thank you so much that’s good to here
Thank you so much that’s good to hear. I’m thinking about buying a copy of cubic ninja.
Thank you so much that’s good to hear.
Apparently sometime I accidentally updated so browserhax is now useless :/
Is there a way to downgrade? or am I SOL
So its partly patched, i most likely won’t even get close to gaining a copy of cubic ninja or smash, is there any “free” way of loading homebrew on 10.6??
Is there any way of downgrading 10.6 yet ??? I would love to use Gateway 3.0 on my 3DS …………
Also does anyone have Gateway Ultra 3.41 Beta firmware ?????? Russ
