Hacking 7.1.0-14U

[Kaiwaters]

Hi guys My 3ds is 7.1.0-14U and i have a r4i gold deluxe i was wondering if i can run it on my 3ds i saw that the 3.1 firmware problem is out will i be able to use it?

 

[Lyrra]

No sorry, 4.1-4.5 firmware only.

Why did you buy a 3DS flashcart if you didn't have a <5.X console to begin with...?

 

[IronClouds]

Maybe he didn't buy it. Maybe he got it from someone who didn't want it. If he did buy it, then that's really no one's fault but the OP's.

i don't understand they released firmware 3.1 that says

R4i Gold 3DS supporting the newest 3DS V7.1.0-14 directly ! (2013-12-20)

3DS firmware updated to V7.1.0-14 , R4i Gold 3DS supports directly the newest 3DS V7.1 without any patch updating...


does that not mean it will work on a 7.1 3ds??

 

[Saturosias]

R4i Gold =/= R4i Gold Deluxe, it's a really sh_tty naming scheme of theirs. R4i Gold is a DS-mode flashcart that supports the latest firmware, R4i Gold Deluxe is a 3DS flashcart that only works on firmwares 4.1-4.5.

 

[Chaldron]

The Deluxe R4 Gold plays 3DS Roms.

The regular R4i Gold plays DS roms.

You have the wrong R4 - the 3DS one is only compatible with 4.1~4.5.

sorry i ment
Deluxe Edition firmware 3.1 is released ! (2013-12-28)

Deluxe Edition firmware V3.1 is released with emuNAND 7

 

[duboisbrian]

does emunad mean

it emulates 7.1 firmware so that rom that require 7.1 firmware will play

and other question is if i have a a retail game that needs a firmware higher then 4.5 how will it play ?

Deluxe Edition firmware V3.1 is released with emuNAND 7

It says emuNAND 7, that's emulated NAND.
U emulate the 7.1 firmware on your 4.1-4.5 Firmware 3DS.

Flashcards have Firmware spoofing so that's no problem.

 

[duboisbrian]

okay i understand emu nad now

but little confused u say flash cards have firmware spoofing

so does that mean i spoof my firmware to 7.1

will it say 7.1 on my 3ds (for retail game to work)?

thanks again for the info

If you have a 4.1-4.5FW 3DS, yes, it will. However take extra care when using emuNAND, many a users accidentally updated their system by not following the guide properly. You have to do it step-by-step and you cannot exit the settings screen when using emuNAND or you will return to normal NAND without even knowing.

 

[Tomy Sakazaki]

You don't need to update the emuNAND to run newer games, and your 3DS should be at a version between 4.1 and 4.5.
The newest Launcher.dat of all 3DS flashcards are updated to the newest games except Pokémon X/Y and Animal Crossing, these won't run at any flashcard at moment, it will require another type of patching or even a update on how the flashcard controller works.
