Hardware: N3DS XL
Firmware: 11.2.35-U
Luma : 8.1.1

Reboot your system and try again.

You have B9S and the latest version of Luma. Is there any reason why you can't update to the latest 3ds firmware?

[Targren]

I don't want to. I want to keep ctr-httpwn support in case a future update does something objectionable.

[fincs]

There is nothing objectionable in the latest system version. You are not going to lose access to anything.

[Targren]

The latest system version is not necessarily the last version.

[ihaveamac]

even if a future update did something bad, it can always (and probably will be) be patched out very quickly.

[Targren]

"Probably" isn't a guarantee, and there's no good reason to update.

[ihaveamac]

there's also no good reason to not update.

[Targren]

I disagree. The one posted in my first response qualifies.

Just found out that, in spite of the error above, the Friends app (my usual test) does, in fact, connect now.
