The battle between Nintendo and the Homebrewers enters another round, heres the latest info for those of you hacking your 3DS consoles:
Nintendo just released firmware 11.3.0-36 for 3DS. As usual it blocks some known hacks so wait before upgrading. Related tweets from Smea: '3DS update 11.3 is finally out! based on look at titles i think hax will still work fine after i update it, but wait before updating. wow 11.3 actually adds a new arm11 syscall, crazy. don't think nintendo's ever done that, only stubbed old ones out? looks like hax payload fix for 11.3 will be more involved than usual, so i RECOMMEND homebrew users NOT UPDATE until we can tell what's up. so for what it's worth it looks like nintendo might be targetting the homebrew launcher itself in 11.3 and trying to block it out entirely. i'll run tests tomorrow after work and see what i can come up with. i guess worst case we can just drop a kernel exploit.' Here's a tweet from nedwill: 'Fasthax is dead, long live soundhax!' hinting that SoundHax still works OK. At this point it is mostly speculation until we know more. However, I did get a confirmation from Sky3DS that their flashcard works fine with firmware 11.3.0-36. No news from Gateway 3DS yet."
