So I've finally decided that I cannot keep up anymore with the ever growing hax community, and I've made the heart-clenching choice up updating my New 3DS XL to the current firmware, because I buy most of the games I want anyway and I have an O3DS with a Gateway. While I figure that updating will wipe pretty much everything, I want to be able to keep some sort of homebrew access on it just in case.

So I picked up a used Ocarina of Time 3D and was hoping to implement OOThax in case I ever needed it. Will it be blocked if I install it first, and then did the system update second? Or will I still be able to use it? And also, what is the likelihood of it being patched in the near future?

You don't have to keep up with the hax. If an older version works for you, don't change it!

I'm just here to say that you can downgrade even from the latest firmware as of now, 10.7!

The downgrade processes seem just a little too unreliable for me... I mean I would do it if I wasn't risking my n3ds's life, but it's kinda my baby.

So the biggest reason for updating is because I want to have eshop access and be able to buy my DLC. What's the best way to load the current eshop on an older firmware? (I think it's at 10.3 but I may be off one.)

The only way to access eShop on a lower firmware is through NVER/TIGER spoofing. You might as well just set up an EmuNAND, update it, and get on eShop from there. Nintendo can't tell the difference between EmuNAND and SysNAND, and people buy games on EmuNAND to continue supporting Nintendo anyway.

EDIT: Wait, what's wrong with updating EmuNAND? All CFWs support the latest system version, and I don't think that will change anytime soon...

What about httpwn? https://github.com/yellows8/ctr-httpwn
@CrispyYoshi I don't think he even downgraded his N3DS to 9.2 in the first place

Hmm, this sounds easy enough to do all that I have to do, while still keeping the ideal function that I'm looking for. I will try this, hopefully without issue. So if this bypasses update checks for the console, what about certain games? Will I be able to use my old Ironhax with it?

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
