You won't get an answer. Other people have tried to do the same and have been blown off with a response like "We can't comment on that yet as 9.2 support is not finalized"You are correct I just got confused. Ive sent them an email specifically asking if a 4.x 3DS is required to update the current card to 9.x. Now we play the waiting game.
But I still think theres a kernel or some kind of exploit involved because they said they have compatibility for 9.0 - 9.2, I mean if theyre gonna reprogram the FPGA to work as Sky3ds does they could have just said to update to 9.2 from the start (for better game compatibility)
But good luck to you.
For everyone's sake I hope they have a kernel exploit. It would suck to be stuck on 9.x and I imagine people will update eventually even if GW still only supports 9.x if there is a game they want badly enough. If there's a kernel exploit, I might stop using my 4.x 3DS entirely in favor of my limited edition 3DS on 9.2, it would be more convenient, then I could play my cartridges that can't be played on emuNAND right now because the save is not compatible (or back them up and play the ROMs) and keep everything on one console. But only time will tell if that's the case.
