The nag screen doesn't instantly update the 3DS. First, the System Settings opens after pressing A, /then/ you probably have to accept terms, and after accepting the terms it finally updates.
Mine downloaded the update too, but it doesn't update without me telling it to, correct? If so, whats the problem?
yeah, 5 minutes at 600 watt in the microwave helps apperantly
edit:
without joking: no, there is no way to stop downloading updates on your 3ds except for not connecting it to the internet
(even streetpass can screw you i thought).
Being a paranoid and wanting to be extra safe...I have setup 3 dummy wireless connection, disabled spotpass and setup parental control! I should be safe from the updates right?
Not if you pass by a Nintendo Zone. Also, Parental Controls are no longer required (since 4.1) to update the system.
Hmmm but I thought if I setup 3 dummy wireless connection then the system won't auto connect to a Nintendo Zone?
Last edited by chemistryfreak,
nope, even if you have 3 dummy connections it will still connect to nintendo zone connection points
All 3DS' will always connect to Nintendo Zones, regardless of what wireless connections you have set.
So even if I disable spotpass & setup parental restriction for internet connections the update will still be downloaded if the system connects to a NZ?
This is what I've been doing. I haven't tried it with current updates (I blocked the update servers) but you can try:
- create an emunand of your 4.x sysnand
- update the emunand and the update data (on sysnand) should be gone
- block connections to/from update servers
There are no set numbers, but it's literally everywhere since at least 20 retailers are on Nintendo JP's Nintendo Zone page.
Unfortunately you can't use any of the SD cards content after formatting, even if you took it out beforehand.Quite useful workaround
Wait, cant we disable streetpass on the system itself or something?
Nintendo likes to screw us over. :3
Thanks for the info, I guess the safest option is to completely switch off the wireless switch and only turn it on during online play...
I have been wondering about this.. Some ppl here says it cant be updated if you dont push 'yes' button. Some says it can be updated through nintendo zone.. Anyone know how it really is? Mine has never been updated via nz. And i have passed nzones tens of times.. But i get paranoid about this anyway...

That is true. One normally does this to "unlink" emunand from real nand in respect to what's on the SD card. When either one is formatted, it creates a new folder on SD card for downloadable content. This means that games installed to sd card while in emunand won't show up in system nand and visa versa.
If what someone said earlier in the thread is true that updating the console isn't actually required to format it, I will probably do that right after I get emunand setup. The last thing I need is wifi settings/home menu icons getting altered on system nand while messing with emunand.
The Emunand you can format instead if you wanted for some odd reason. But then you'll lose your NNID and friend list, which is why formatting system nand after emunand creation is the best route.
lol and by using a GW we are not screwing them over XD

32GBs is the baseline for 4K video editing these days and lots of recommendations for 64GBs but for games 16,GBs is honestly plenty for a long time. -
