TL;DR Summary

Nintendo has released a new firmware update for its discontinued 3DS console, which has broken many common methods for installing homebrew software. The update is the first since September 2020 and the fifth since the console was discontinued. While the update doesn't affect custom firmware installed prior to the update, it does limit options for those who have updated. The update is expected to be a mere speedbump for 3DS owners who want to enjoy homebrew software on their legacy portables.
