Is there any point in keeping the firmware of my 3DS this low? Are exploits/game cards from that number still usable?

Thanks in advance!

As far as I know, I would say no. Gateway only works on 4.1-4.5 so there's a reason to update it. There might be some really early homebrew on it but definitely nothing as good as what gateway brings to the table. I'd say get get a game that will update it to 4.1-4.5 and get a gateway. refer to this thread for games that are 4.1-4.5 also updating your emunand and other bits of information http://gbatemp.net/threads/3ds-noob-paradise-ask-questions-here.359035/


To update to 4.1-4.5

Darn, I only have Paper Mario and Mario Tennis for now... Might have to make a trip to the Gamestop Used section.

Well it is nice to have some real games anyways to get your unique header if you want to play games online. I plan to use my header to play some fantasy life online once the USA version hits the scene hopefully at midnight tonight or Friday.

Nah, might be nice to have a separate version of Fire Emblem. Or I could always return the used copy and hold onto the credit/get a PS Vita game.

I heard 4.3 is the best, since Acekard 2i and another couple of DS flash cards got blocked via 4.4.

I believe Paper Mario (U) has 4.3. Use that.

Instead of checking that thread, use this site. http://3ds.essh.co/

You can search for 4.1.0U, 4.2.0U, etc... and it'll show the games that have those updates. If you arent from USA, put the letter for the region. (E for Europe, J for Japan, etc.)

Since I'm assuming you're from the US, Mario Tennis Open has 4.4.0U and Paper Mario has 4.3.0U

EDIT: Just realized that you already noticed that...

Anything between 4.1-4.5 will get you out of trouble.

Although 4.1 is not ideal due to some issues with Gateways region free compatibility.

Is this actually true?
Mine is 4.1.0-8E on EUR console, and I am still didn't have opportunity to test it as I havent recived Gateway ( only have tested DS backups from USA region, on my r4).
So are there any issues with this FW considering backups from different regions?
This is the first time I hear for this.

gamesquest1 I think it was, mentioned that he hasn't heard of any reports of problems on 4.1 lately and that it was more a problem with earlier Gateway versions, so you should be good to go.

Thx for answer, I ll take it as it was a problem with the former versions.
If region-spoofing doesn't work, well I ll report definitely.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze

    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
