Hacking Are the 1.0 firmware cias out there somewhere?

[astronautlevel]

If you can get it to accept a 1.0 firmware.bin and boot it correctly. I'm not sure if it would since it's not made with that old firmware in mind and the very early firmware versions are very different from newer ones.

Nintendo rewrote firmware between 2.1 and 3.0. However, theoretically it wouldn't matter what version it's on if you boot without patches because it'll act more as a bootstrapper. Every other CFW applies patches which would probably break it, but Cakes won't apply any patches unless you tell it to.

He's going to brick now you know '_>'

Not much harm you can do with trying to downgrade your emunand to 1.0
Just have an emunand backup to put back

@Nyap if you really want to do this here's what I'd do:

1. Downgrade EmuNAND to 1.0 using PlaiSysUpdater CIA
2. Use OTPHelper to unbrick EmuNAND if on n3ds
3. Use Decrypt9 to restore EmuNAND to SysNAND and make sure to choose keep a9lh
4. Setup Cakes and have it boot SysNAND, make sure you choose no patches or it probably won't work.

I'll try once @MassExplosion213 gives me the files (PM'ed him an hour ago)

Doesn't PlaiSysUpdater only downgrade 9.2 and 2.1? Choosing either one would probably error right away because of the hash checking.

And once again my sleep deprived brain overlooks something.

Just use standard sysupdater, I suppose.

I once slept only 2 hours in 2 days and I could still think properly and wasn't tired at all. In fact, I had trouble sleeping

Then that's your problem not mine.

So? People are different, I'm already getting foggy after 20 hours

does sysUpdater force you to reboot once you've downgraded or can you go to the home menu and use TinyFormat?

it forces you to reboot.

nvm actually
sorry for bump

I have the files, I'm just going to make some nand and sd backups

I would enjoy doing this for lolz.
