Firmware upgrade

The official patch notes can be read here. It’s free to download, so make sure to grab it today while it’s available. This update is the last major one before the end of the 3DS production line. However, there are a few changes you should be aware of.
Another major change is the addition of StreetPass functionality. The new firmware will allow 3DS users to earn more tags by passing by Nintendo Zone locations. This functionality will be useful in earning puzzle pieces in Warrior’s Way or in saving the galaxy in Mii Force. In addition, the system will now collect data on the last person who passed by the location. The system will also now allow users to change their home screen’s appearance by using physical controls. The privacy settings for trophies will also be accessible once the update is installed.
Fixing “soft-bricked” 3DS
The power button on the Nintendo 3DS can be faulty, and it can cause your console to freeze and display a black screen. It is possible to repair a soft-bricked 3DS by manually holding the directional pad buttons, or you can perform a hard-mod by inserting the SD card into a computer. This guide will show you how to fix your 3DS. This guide also covers how to fix a hard-bricked 3DS.
If you’ve accidentally dropped your Nintendo 3DS, or accidentally splashed it with water, the console is likely soft-bricked. This is a serious problem, but the good news is that there’s a fix. Simply follow the steps outlined below to format your 3DS and recover all of your saved data. If your 3DS is “soft-bricked”, you’ll need to format it with a new master key.
Downgrading to a custom firmware
If you have recently purchased a new Nintendo 3DS, you may have wondered if you can downgrade the firmware on your console. The good news is that it’s now possible to do so. This is made possible by developers who have made a Dev/Testkit to test their custom firmware on the system. This process is also used by homebrew developers to test their games.
Downgrading your 3DS’s firmware is a great way to unlock more features and compatibility with homebrew and third party applications. With this method, you can easily access the system menu using a special button combination and enjoy features like backup playback and custom channels. Additionally, you can also use a third-party application called menuhax to change the menuhax theme.
Miiverse
If you want to force an update on your 3DS, you can do so by following these simple steps. Firstly, sign up for Miiverse. It is the company’s social network which allows users to interact and discuss content from Nintendo platforms, including games. You can post text, hand-drawn images, screenshots, and even join communities. You can choose which communities to follow and how you want to access them.
The updated firmware will allow users to take advantage of new features and functionality. Users can now interact and share notes on Miiverse. Users can also link their Nintendo Network ID to their 3DS, allowing them to share funds with each other. This update also removes the system transfer limit. However, you won’t be able to switch between different regions and use different currencies. So, you should back up your data and make sure to leave the system powered off for at least one hour before you attempt to force update your 3DS.
Internet Browser
The 3DS Internet Browser is a web browser that was added in the June 2011 update. It is based on the WebKit engine and is named “SPIDER” or “SKATER”. The 3DS eShop will continue to function normally with the help of the dummy browser that came with cartridge games starting with 9.9.0-X. However, if you want to keep your 3DS up-to-date, you can download the latest version from Nintendo’s website.
Before downloading the browser, you must have installed the system update on your Nintendo 3DS. You can read more about it here. After the installation, go to the HOME Menu and click on Internet Browser. It will be in the top right corner. If you do not see it, go to the settings menu and press “Update” to update the browser. You should then see a new page titled “Integrity Browser”.
