Seeing that I'll be getting a 3DS (not XL) soon, I'm trying to gather some information on which models are most likely to have the 4.5 firmware on-board, preferably lower. The region of interest is Europe. I did quite a bit of Googling regarding the matter, here are my conclusions:
Thank you in advance for any and all tips!
- The Aqua Blue model has been discontinued in Europe in 2012, it's guaranteed to have a low enough firmware to run 3DS Mode flashcarts
- The Flame/Flare Red model has been discontinued at an unknown date, it's hit and miss
- The Cosmo Black model is still in circulation, another mystery
- The Pearl Pink model does not interest me for obvious reasons
- The Ice White model is still manufactured, mystery firmware to be expected
Thank you in advance for any and all tips!
