System Titles

3DS

The following system-modules were updated: AM, camera, cfg, codec, gsp, hid, ac, cecd, CSND, dlp, http, ndm, NIM, NWM, SOC, SSL, PS, friends, IR, BOSS, news(notifications), RO, NS, and act. For at least some of these modules, this was just a rebuild with the latest CTRSDK(only change in .code was the CTRSDK version value(s) used with ErrDisp).

The following applications were updated: System Settings, Download Play, Nintendo 3DS Camera, eShop, System Transfer, and NNID settings.

The following "applets" were updated: ErrDisp, Home Menu, camera, Instruction Manual, Game Notes, Friend List, Notifications, error, Software Keyboard, appletEd, PNOTE_AP, SNOTE_AP, extrapad, mint, Miiverse, and Miiverse memolib.

An applet with TID-low 00008B02 was added, "solv3". The description from the ExeFS icon is "Post to Miiverse".

The following titles were also updated: 0004009B00012302, EULA CFA, NGWord bad word list CFA, Nintendo Zone hotspot list CFA, NVer, CVer, 0004001B00018002, 0004001B00018102, and 0004001B00018202.

NS_CFA was updated, the following new file was added to the RomFS: "qtm_black_list".

Old3DS FIRM

NATIVE_FIRM was also updated.

The Process9 FIRM-launch code now "clears" certain AES keyslots, see here.

Application crashes

Starting with 9.0.0-20 on retail, the system now triggers a fatal-error when an application crashes. This does not apply to New3DS(probably a Home Menu change that wasn't added to the JPN Home Menu?).

New3DS

This update added the system-titles for New3DS to SOAP, for the following regions: USA, EUR, and JPN. See here for the launch-day JPN New3DS system-version.

Most (?) of the New3DS titles listed from SOAP here are from the launch-day system-version available on CDN. Some(?) of the actual New3DS-specific changes with 9.0.0-20, is that the following New3DS titles were updated: NATIVE_FIRM and NVer. The latest version of both of these titles have the same HTTP Last-modified date as the 8.1.0-0_New3DS. There may be more New3DS-specific title changes too, since the title listing here might not be completely accurate.

The New3DS version of the Internet Browser was added, the exheader name is "SKATER"(original 3DS name was "spider").
