What the fuck? That is the best website to get the downgrade packs.
If you dont wanna signup, try 3DNUS.

How different is safesysupdater to Pleisysupdater?

I tried downloading the japanese update pack for new 3ds on Plailect's guide, the 2CA00 cia file was already removed but when I used Safesysupdater to check the files, it errored out on a mismatched md5 on a system title file...

By checking the files with Safesysupdater, it always seem to fail the 20900 cia file. Any help please.

Ok since I last posted. I've already figured out how to open homebrew, fixed the internet browser problem and used the map edit. I just did some things. One last thing that's important thing that's important to me. I want to use the online multiplayer aspect, add friends and play with them in. Other games. But sadly the downgrade prevents me from that. Is there a way around this without upgrading? I'm not sure what to look for on google so I can't search for it. Also I just want to thank everyone for helping me and being patent with me and for working hard on these hacks for us..

Get an EmuNAND + Custom Firmware, or Install Arm9loaderhax.

Sorry, this may be off topic, but how long do new downgrade methods take to be discovered? I was dumb and a week before i got my Gateway 3ds cards i accidently updated my 3ds to 11.0. I understand that there currently arent any ways to downgrade or use the gateway card, but do you think that in a monthor so, it will be possable? I know i could harmod, but i dont have the tools nor experience. Any tips?

A week? A month? A year? You're asking an impossible question b/c no one knows. I wouldn't bet on anything too quick anymore though. Seems like Nintendo went all out with 11.x. If you really really want hax, send your 3ds to a hardmodder.

Arm9loaderhax+Custom Firmware probably
or
Custom Firmware
What is the region of your 3DS? Is it a *new* 3DS or and Old 3DS?

Yes, you have to follow the same steps, except while searching for the downgrade pack, you have to search for a New 3DS one. Oh yeah and you could Format your system (if you dont have any digital games) to reduce chances of Soft bricks. If you have a DNS set up on your Network connection(Like tubehax DNS o prevent updates), Remove it.

Thanks man you the best, you the real MVP
