I'm curious if it's possible to downgrade my system to a version that doesn't have Miiverse and the theme shop for the 3ds.

Its personal preference really more than a need. I'm just wondering if it's possible with a 3ds that has 3ds CFW.

Yeah you could I don't see why you would though. Just use 3DNUS to download an "update" pack for 6.3.0-12 (I believe that's the last firmware before MiiVerse was added) then use sysdowngrader.

The a9lh guide has you use a ctrnand transfer image to downgrade to 2.1, which had neither of those.

I didn't realize this but do certain games like Smash Bros require a certain FW to play and eshop to?

That would basically be a deal breaker for me to stay on a more recent FW because I don't want to have to use Homebrew apps every single time to acsess a service.

Yes, more recent games require a higher firmware in order to be played. You're better off staying on a higher firmware.

Except if he has a N3DS that would be pretty dumb to sit on 2.1.
I'm just going to stay on 11.4 then. Thanks!
How come you were trying to go back before miiverse and stuff anyway out of curiosity?

The icons bug me and I don't really use them. The theme shop is useless now since I can just get custom made ones fron 3ds.themes and I never use Miiverse because there are other social media sites like Smash Boards that have a neat community and better moderated/watched over forum so it basically the place doesn't become no mans land like Miiverse is today (atleast that's how I see miiverse ._.)

Again, just personal preference than an actual complaint or need.
