To be honest, I feel like you can maybe use a free DSiWare game? Like Nintendo Fan Network? Can't it use something like this exploit?
It uses no save file so that would be extremely difficult. You would have to exploit its wireless comms ala smashhax, and that's far more difficult than generic save sploits. The fact that it's region specific also hurts it's chances as Euro talent is less likely to look into it.

Why not download the DSi games from freeshop? They removed a way to download the games. They never removed them.

im surprised no one has started a thread sharing a single or group of nnid(s) with feildrunners for the goal of downgrading . . . similar to the one i saw going around where people were passing around a single copy of cubic ninja

How is that supposed to work? Sending a $100 3DS and a $150 New 3DS in the mail? They'll be stolen.

I think I already tried doing something like this. Nintendo's servers detect that the NNID used for that console is directly tied in that single console. I bought fieldrunners on my a9lh 3ds and extracted the nnid before it did. after I hacked the other I was impatient for the 7 day wait so I just simply injected the nnid back in but it says "this Nintendo ID cannot be used on this console" or something like that

not the whole console just the nnid but now that you mention price . . . back in the day others could have bought there own copy of cn (was going for $80 usd) but they passed one $80 copy around . . . currently a factory fresh 2ds is $80 see my point

The NNID is tied to the console, and both consoles have to be present to transfer the saves see my point

. . . why do people believe im sarcastic 24-7? why ?. . . you can send along to the next person in line the info to sign to your nnid (you format the system with the feildrunners nnid) there they use a second already hacked 3ds to set up with (they create one of those ignored emunand things) and format and enter the info bam they may now download a legal eshop copy of a game they cant buy

or my point you missed my last comment they indeed do exactly what you say is impossible. just like they did it with the then 80 usd cubic ninja. they can use a 80 usd 2ds . . . just because you would steal it does not mean everyone would

edit: but my initial point was to offer a solution to not having the ability to buy a dsiware hax game due to nintendo removing it

You can't transfer back from a N3DS to a 2DS. And I wouldn't steal it, but you're delusional if you think no one would.
1. no but nintendo can . . . really not that big of a deal if the nnids email and password are included
2. im not saying no one will think to keep it . . . have you been to the trade/sales threads here on gbatemp. are you aware that in general you can see if the person will pass the system along by looking at there feedback . . .

wouldn't the a9lh nnid stay and transfer dsiware exploits if it had a freeshop download? I mean if it just transferred that. idk how all this works... I transferred from my 2ds to a n3ds on 11.1 and it worked fine for me.

I am on 11.0.0-33U, how would I go about downloading the game seeing as the eshop requires an update to the latest firmware?
