Unexpected 3DS update breaks many common homebrew hacking methods

Latest "stability" update comes months after the 3DS eShop shut down.

Ars Technica
@arstechnica FFS, fuck them. The eShop is closed, we can't buy our games legally even if we wanted to now. =_=
@arstechnica nintendo is painfully predictable them probably just forget implement "You must buy switch" hidden payload inside old devices... ^^
@arstechnica yet another thing showing the age old truth that nobody hates their fans like nintendo does
@arstechnica Not buying whatever's after switch. I'm done with how Nintendo does business
@arstechnica I remember this happening about 2 years ago as well, sure it was maybe slightly more "alive" but even at that point it felt strange to launch an update just to break it, though back then a simple update was enough to fix it.
@arstechnica Important context: it was a day after MVG made a video about the exploit
@arstechnica more evidence that pirating Nintendo games is always morally justified

@hazelnot y'know what, you're right. I'm going to go play some games in an emulator I never saw in real life.

But probably still really old ones 'cause my computer is a bit crap.

@arstechnica It is always morally correct to hack nintendo consoles
@arstechnica welp another bad move by nintendo to lock down things that people bought to own themselves and not by nintendo
