-=== If an update happens on an old version ===
+You can update to 11.15.0 without problems.
-The worst that may happen if you update the system software without running a compatible version of Luma3DS is that the console may turn on to an error screen. This usually means that it could not patch the new firmware. The fix for this is to manually replace <code>boot.firm</code> on the SD card with a newer version of Luma3DS. See [[3dsguide:restoring-updating-cfw|Restoring / Updating CFW]] on 3DS Hacks Guide for more information.

-New 3DS consoles can use super-skaterhax. Old 3DS consoles can use MSET9.

-Other exploits are available at [[3DS:Alternate Exploits]]. Most of these depend on having certain games or a second console with custom firmware.

-Any console on any version can be hacked with [[3dsguide:ntrboot|ntrboot]], but this requires a compatible DS flashcart.
