I would agree but this tread has been going for a while.
Stop saying things like "there is no version 4 so.." because thats not it. Im going to stop repeating myself.
Also, yup, updating to 11.3 won't work, cause you miss the sound program update. Get zelda oot and someone with a hacked save or Ninjhax or something, or Try the dns method. For the rest, im out of ideas.
The version 4 seems to be the root cause though......Sorry you don't think that's the problem, but that is the one thing that seems to baffle folks. 11.0.0.4-U. Not even Nintendo themselves show the firmware as being a proper firmware version. Whatever man......I'm fine with the 2ds because I have a new3ds as my main console. This one was acquired as a backup and became kind of a challenge for me to try and fix once I found it was previously messed with and made inoperable.
