Hacking R4i Gold & 3DS Update

[Aruu]

Hi,
I ordered the R41 Gold 3DS card, my current 3DS version is: 4.5.0-10E.
I want to buy a few games from the e-shop, but i can not do it until i will do a system update.
I do not know to what version it will update my 3DS, and i'm afraid to do so because maybe the card wont work.

So my question is, can i safely update my 3DS?

Thanks

no

Ok, do you know maybe to what version it supposed to update after this one?
So that in the future if they will patch it ill know that i can safely update it... ugh. but i guess if you don't update it a long time it will automatically jump to the latest one. meh.

Thank anyway

Use Gateway 3ds emunand to buy the games without updating the real nand but dsiware and gba are not working.

7.xx is the last one

Ok! Hang on...

When you update online, it always take you to the LATEST firmware, which in this case would be 7.1.0.16. This means you'll loose the ability to use linkers (aka 3DS flashcards).

If you want to use a linker card (gateway, any gw clone or mt-card), don't update your original sys nand to anything superior to 4.5. "Unfortunately", the only linker that support 7.1 emuNAND is GW.

Cheers!

Get the gw_install.nds file and put it on the r4i, get the 2.1 omega launcher.DAT file and put it on the 3DS' SD card, run GW_install.nds, backup your 3ds' SD card, go to ds profile in 3ds settings and format emunand. You do not need a gateway card to use emunand, and if you update emunand, you can use all eshop stuff (except dsiware and GBA vc). Make sure you do not update your real nand. Your 3ds is much more valuable on 4.5.0

Yup! Exactly... I forgot mentioning you don't need to OWN a gateway to use emuNAND. Just GW 2.1 Launcher.

The omega launcher checks for the gateway card in the slot before starting emunand

Is this really true? I try booting into 2.1 and it tells me to put a Gateway 3DS cart in. It's 2.02b that doesn't require the cart.

You can enter on classic mode without gateway card

On 2.1 omega?

 

[mvmiranda]

On 2.1 omega?

Yes!

 

[Abcdfv]

Yes!

Awesome, good to know!

 

[KamazasBl]

would this allow to play nand saving games with gw stuff and r4 card?

 

[Joe88]

Only retail carts or eshop versions
The roms will not work with r4i

Yes its true but he wants to buy games he is not asking for roms

Yes i used their launcher before 2.0 omega was out because i was afraid of bricking my 3ds with gateway 2.b2

 

[mvmiranda]

Euh... NOP !!

Nice! I wasn't aware of that...
Thx for clarifying it for me.

No problem , and Launcher.DAT v1.2 (release today or tomorow) will support e-Shop games, like GW !
