Today, Nintendo released a new 3DS system update to 8.0.0-18U.

Any clue what it does?

No it has nothing to do with porn.
As always, this system update improves overall system stability.

That's it.

Dude, what the heck? I made a topic about this before you. WTF?

Lol, no one even saw nintenman's thread about the exact same thing.

Nintendo needs to give the 3DS ACTUAL updates that will improve and make the 3ds better like different colours for our home menu.

Well, personally, I can say that the Youtube app and the web browser have crashed significantly less in the past month or so. Although I'm satisfied with that, I also feel like we need a little more.
If they ever got around to giving the Friends List some use (like I don't know, maybe enabling us to send our Friends a PM), that'd be great.

It improved all of the things with NN.

That's all I thought of.

System Titles

eShop, NVer, CVer, and the NZone hotspots list were updated. The 0004009B00012302 USA title(and the equivalent titleIDs for the other regions) was updated. The "masterkey.bin" file in the CVer RomFS was updated(different ID and different random data). The "cup_list" file was removed from the CVer RomFS as well.
All non-SAFE_MODE system modules were updated.
ErrDisp, eShop mint applet(used for accessing eShop outside of the eShop application, like DLC), and SNOTE_AP were updated, these now use the v7.0 NCCH encryption. None of the other updated titles use the v7.0 NCCH encryption(besides the ones which use it already). Due to ErrDisp being updated, this likely breaks booting 8.0.0-18 on physical <=v4.x systems where the key-data for the v7.0 NCCH crypto wasn't initialized correctly.

FIRM

NATIVE_FIRM was updated. Process9, the ARM11-kernel, and all of the ARM11 FIRM-modules were updated.
Process9 had minor / various other changes, including gamecard-related code changes. Support for new exheader/accessdesc fields were implemented. FSPXI:GetSpecialContentIndex was updated to add support for a new value(unknown where the field for that originates). Process9 now uses VRAM size 0x600000 instead of 0x400000 for FIRM(during FIRM launch) section address+size verification, and for the memory-clear code for the FIRM-launch panic function.
Most of the ARM11 FIRM-modules changes are likely minor. In pm-module, code was updated which handles programIDs/etc.
For the ARM11 kernel(among other changes), multiple SVCs were stubbed(that is, these only return an error now). The code for svcControlMemory was updated. The code for svcGetProcessInfo was updated: previously a total of 8 type values were handled, this now handles a total of 23 type values.

Thanks for the info, peasant.
Although I hardly understood any of it, it is much appreciated.

Completely answers the thread's question.

My thread was titled "What's new in 8.0?". As proof, I had started it at 18:22. YOU started yours at 19:50. Over an hour before you! Now you have to admit to copying me!
