Hacking 9.3.0-21 Nintendo 3DS Update Released

[Neglesh]

ABCDFV posted this on another thread.

Well you could format emuNAND, create a new emuNAND, and update it to like 8.2 using a ROM which includes that firmware update. You wouldn't be able to play anything online or use any online features, but at least you'd have access to playing all 3DS ROMs released thus far. Then you'd just need to wait until Gateway updates their loader to work with 9.3.

So I formatted my EmuNAND nad everything is back to 4.5. However when I re-run gateway and attempt to play Super Smash Bros, it's not asking me to update my firmware... instead I can only play the game and get a black screen :/

hold "UP"(on the d-pad) when booting into gateway mode to activate the super secret "let me update emunand via cart" option, just be 100% sure you have emunand set up, although im pretty sure the update mode only work with emunand....just to be safe

There are reports of PAL Aus N3DS coming with 9.2 firmware and that means it's taken roughly 4 weeks or so to go from 9.0 > 9.2 if you want a gateway on a N3DS I would buy one right away.. 9.3 out the factory will be within the next 30th days or so I reckon.

Edit: owner got it wrong, panic over for now

how long did it take to get your n3ds from 365games ? my order has been stuck at (being picked) for 3 days !!

you should have made a backup of your 9.2 emunand.

Unfortunately I didn't; like a dumb dumb.

And to format you'll need to update first!

Keep up with the times man, someone may screw up because of misleading information like this.

Thanks for the correction !
So there is not method to delete a downloaded update ?

nope not on 7.x+....thats when they added that sneaky "update to format" requirement

So is anyone else kinda unhappy with how SkyDS is the cause of all this =/? What were they thinking by releasing a cart that works on 9.0 when the N3DS wasn't even out?

Man want a N3DS, but can't justify the cost of the AUS version. By the time Nintendo puts out an exclusive game I really want to play GW might work anyways so I won't fret to much over this. I have my 4.5 3DS and might sell that to upgrade to an XL as that would cost much less than upgrading to the N3DS. Hopefully what GW says regarding them having a solution for consoles under 9.0 FW, unless I am mistaken in thinking that would allow me to buy an 3DS XL and use GW later on.

tbh the cost of importing a N3ds isnt all that much more than a brand new standard XL......but idk maybe if you where looking at a second hand XL that may be a bit fair cheaper than a N3DS.....tbh do what you want i doubt there will be too many N3DS exclusives

Takes 5 days for an old man to kick it from one side of the warehouse to the other.

well if you're buying any new3ds/3ds/xl from ebay avoid shop too outlet or shop too .net they will try to rip you off and keep you waiting with false information untill you are no longer covered by the refund tos

i and many others i know locally have been ripped off by them this month

I was wondering why there was no black Australian version. Perhaps only way to get one is to import from Japan.
