Details

Multiple system flaws were fixed, this includes a later-stage system flaw(separate from anything listed in the below NATIVE_FIRM section) used in Ninjhax. Ninjhax was not completely blocked.

Support for amiibo was added. Support for the Old3DS NFC peripheral(which communicates with 3DS via IR) was added.

All updated New3DS titles now use New3DS-specific NCCH crypto, see here.

NATIVE_FIRM

Most of the ARM11 kernel changes were to fix an ARM11 kernel flaw.

All ARM9 kernel changes:

• The ARM9 kernel equivalent of the above code involved with the above ARM11 kernel flaw was updated, the changes for that are exactly the same.
• An unknown kernel function was updated, this function seems to be ARM9-kernel specific.

All Process9 changes:

• The code for validating the exheader was updated: the total number of service-access-control entries this uses was changed from 0x20 to 0x22, and the valid range for "ARM9 Descriptor Version" was changed.
• Keytype value 0x9 support was added to PSPXI:EncryptDecryptAes.
• The New3DS-only commands for Process_Services_PXI were removed, the code/data for those were moved into NFC module.
• Support for New3DS-only NCCH encryption was added.
• Support for gamecard savedata encryption using New3DS-only keyslots was added, see here.
