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.
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?
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.
You can honestly probably just ingore it, but I would still update luma and update to the latest 3ds update cuz:
Updating luma is also literally just dragging the boot file into the root of your sd card and clicking “replace” so its very little work. And then of course, you then update in the system settings.
Btw for cias, check out erista. QR codes if you are lazy or direct downloads for huge installs. (like if you have a 64/128 gb sd card)
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.
