A new menu update for the {{bp|Nintendo 3DS}} family of systems has been released. The official statement on the support website describes version 9.5.0-23U by saying that  "Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience."
A new menu update for the {{bp|Nintendo 3DS}} family of systems has been released. The official statement on the support website describes version 9.5.0-23 by saying that  "Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience."


Despite this statement, which is used often by Nintendo and usually leads users to believe that the update fixed nothing worth mentioning, the update actually fixes several bugs that can be exploited by use of the system's built-in web browser and QR code scanner.
This update fixes an exploit involving the use of the system's built-in web browser and QR code scanner. Some applications players found for this exploit include illegitimately obtaining Pokémon in {{bp|Pokémon X and Y}} and {{bp|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, and modifying the cost of Jewels in {{bp|Pokémon Shuffle}}.


Some of these exploits were used specifically in Pokémon games.  For {{bp|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, users could generate or find online QR codes and scan them while the game was suspended, and upon re-entering the game have illegitimately obtained Pokémon.  Another exploit in the recently released {{bp|Pokémon Shuffle}} would make everything in the shop cost zero jewels by going to a specific link in the web browser while the game was suspended. 
While these exploits did not work on the {{bp|New Nintendo 3DS}} due to their different internet browser to the original Nintendo 3DS and 2DS, the update is also available for them.
 
Some of these exploits never worked on the {{bp|New Nintendo 3DS}} and its corresponding XL model from their release due to slightly differing firmware from the original Nintendo 3DS, but due to this menu update they will not work on any system in the Nintendo 3DS family anymore.

A new menu update for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems has been released. The official statement on the support website describes version 9.5.0-23 by saying that "Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience."

This update fixes an exploit involving the use of the system's built-in web browser and QR code scanner. Some applications players found for this exploit include illegitimately obtaining Pokémon in Pokémon X and Y and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, and modifying the cost of Jewels in Pokémon Shuffle.

While these exploits did not work on the New Nintendo 3DS due to their different internet browser to the original Nintendo 3DS and 2DS, the update is also available for them.
