My modded 3DS is my constant companion. I've got a pc, the AYN Odin, a switch, but it'd the 3DS that I always come back to.
Truly one of the best libraries and one of the most charming devices out there.
Let's have a thread commemorating it! Share your memories, favorite games, anything.
General rule of thumb is to update luma before performing a system update. If the luma version is old, then it wont support the latest 3ds update and wont boot to the home menu.
This doesnt mean its bricked, but that you are now forced to take out your sd card and update luma to boot to the home menu properly.
So just update luma, then do a system update and you are good. Worst case is that it fails to boot, you update luma on your sd card, and then boot just fine anyways.
Is there any reason to ever do a system update now that the shop is closed, or can I just happily go on ignoring that and install homebrew and cias to my hearts content?
No reason to update, really. Afaik they haven't added any features of bugfixes for years. You can get rid of the annoying system update popups by deleting pending titles in FBI and disabling Wi-fi.
The only reason would be playing games online, old firmware gets locked out a couple weeks after an update releases.
But there's also no real reason not to if you're already running CFW. As long as Luma is reasonably up-to-date, a system update can't break anything.
