Hacking How to connect a 3DS with R4i 3DS to Internet without updating?

You need to update your 3DS firmware to whatever the latest right now is in order to access the eshop...

So I will really need to update, then, right? I don't mind doing it, but I don't want my R4i 3DS to get bricked.

Nothing bricks, the 3DS will just detect the cart and refuse to let you run it anymore (unless you update the R4 FIRST).

You would need to update your R4i (BEFORE updating your 3DS) and cut a line somewhere on the card I think...

Ok, do I have to update the firmware inside my 3DS, or inside the old NDS1 I have?

Whichever. If it can run it, it can update it.

So I'm going to update the cart, and then the 3DS.
Alea jacta est

The 3DS is updating... I'm extremely upset, my veins are like iron bars right now.

R4i: Broken.
I get the typical black screen with white letters. What should I do now?
My version is 6.1.0-12E right now.

First guess: You never actually ran the firmware update, you just put it on the MicroSD.

Guess confirmed I downloaded the files and put them into the cart.

Reply to PM:

First you need the addresses in question.
Someone needs to set up his inet connection to capture all traffic and monitor it live for dns requests and new connections
(eg with wireshark)
then connect a unupdated 3DS and and wait for it to try to download the update
this should then be interrupterd as soon as possible (to be able to try again)
(since I don't want that "update me" nag screen ever again I'm out of that)
see where it connected to and block that dns-name/ip
repeat (to catch the next server on the list) until it does not connect to anyone anymore

Maybe someone did this already, idk, search the net



With only "a router" to go on its impossible to tell you exactly how to block the addresses once you know them
Maybe it can't even to it, who knows
Best advice is to look on the net for a router that can and buy it
And this time keep the manual
(Can't suggest one, I only use openwrt and thats probably not what you want)

Grasping at straws you could try to look through all of it's config options and look for something that sounds like it
then post a screenshot for us to look at
