Hacking If I Buy A New 2DS From Katsukity, Will It Be On <=9.2?

[StarOfDoom]

Hey guys!
I am looking to get a capture card from Katsukity, but want it to be gateway compatible. If I get a 2DS+Capture Card from them (I already have a N3DS on 9.0, will just use that for when I want to take my 3DS with me, and use the 2DS basically only for streaming/recording) are we 100% sure that it will NOT be on higher firmware than 9.2? Thanks :3

radical answer, but how about you ask katsukitty?

^ This. Just ask katsukity to check the serial number for you and find one with a serial number below whatever's the safe limit.

Trust me. I've tried. I have not had a good time talking to their CS... I asked if they could check the serial number off of a list of them to make sure I got the product I wanted (for the N3DS, and checking these serial numbers took me less than 3 minutes in the store) and they said no. They said no. I am trying to give them $600 and they said no to a request that would take them less than 3 minutes. Lol So I figure it would be a safer bet to just make sure all new 2DS's come with Gateway compatible firmware.

Costs 120$ shipping. Takes longer, and I wouldn't have a console to play on for however long it's out (3ish weeks). Can someone just say whether or not buying a brand new 2DS from a store is >=9.2? That's really my question...

Shipping does NOT cost that much. I just sent them my bottom right n3DS. Total shipping cost was $45~ and they refund you up to $30 to cover shipping.

They shouldn't be, but you never know when Nintendo will produce a new batch of consoles with the newest firmware on it, so there's always some risk.

I ran it through a USPS shipping calculator and it said it was that much. I also don't want to send in a console tbh, if it gets lost in the mail I will be COMPLETELY screwed, and down 600ish $ :/

So buy insurance? How would you be out $600? The 2DS is like $100 tops.

I would be sending in a N3DS, and I can only get to the post office every other weekend...

Ty, this pretty much answered my question. I guess I'll just take the risk and buy a new one. Worst comes to worst I can buy a SKY3DS

Yea but no custom rom let's plays >_>

Just FYI. It took 4 days to reach there using international priority and their calculator was wrong for me too. It was <$50 to cover the item. Shipping out of pocket after refund will be about $10-15. I was debating the same thing as you. Either ordering one or sending it in. Unfortunately they are charging a $100 markup to obtain the n3DS and refused to give the serial number.

EDIT: And they actually cancelled and refunded my first order because I had a nand mod applied. Something about it being against JP law.

This is true. I still think i'm just going to take the risk. Unless someone confirms that they got a brand new 2DS on >9.2. I can't search though because apparently 2DS is too "Short or generic" so I have NO way of searching for it.

We need a 360drives like site where users submit FW versions, maybe nand chips too.

It should be safe as long as it's a new one.

Okay, thanks!

Are you going to order it?

I'm going to try to get the money transferred over to mai PayPal tomorrow morning or afternoon and go ahead and order it, yep!

I'm not sure why people are wasting money on antiquated hardware. With two confirmed games for the n3DS I see them moving everyone over to a n3DS within the next year slowly phasing the o3(2)ds out.
