=== If an update happens on an old version ===
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.
