3DS Firmware 11.6 is out, does not seem to impact hacks
Nintendo published a new firmware for the 3DS a few hours ago, system firmware 11.6. The official changelog tells us we’re getting more stability, which is extremely exciting.
Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience
According to multiple sources including Smealum, this update does not seem to impact homebrew entry points and hacks.
GerbilSoft says on GBATemp:
NTRBootHax, Luma3DS, and Boot9Strap STILL WORK with 11.6. It is SAFE to update if you have B9S installed.
As always though, we suggest to update only when it’s been 100% confirmed that there is no impact on your homebrew. Until then, we always recommend to stay on a lower firmware as much as possible.

lol
Stop updating nintendo the 3ds is already very stable
Some owners with a hacked 3DS can’t say the same… 😛
Nintendo is always doing things for the sake of owners… LOL
So do we NEED to run the boot9 exploit before the update or does it not matter?
Doesn’t matter, no update can block boot9. Will need a new hardware revision for that to happen. Sorry Nintendo you fail!!
For those of us new, but want to get into this, are we sc*** if we don’t have homebrew already before the update? I want to get into this, but I have the 11.6 update. Suggestions? I would like to make some edits to my pokemon silver team 3ds game.
Just install CFW with NTRBoot.
