Okay, you're probably clicking on this thread and saying" This guy can't get custom firmware on a 3ds... Well you're right! I don't personally have a custom firmware, yet... But I can confirm it is soon to come..Sooner than everyone thinks. Check this out!!
Yes, that's right, I don't really know how to program a main frame, or crack the 3ds system, but I do know logic! I emailed the gateway team, and of course a few days later I got a response... With what I "asked" anyone can back up their emunand and flash whatever firmware they want. Since the emunand had to have your special system encryption that is for your system only. and if we can find out how gateway makes their emunands, then we can use that to make a custom firmware fully!!! The perks of the flashed emunand is that the system cant receive updates from Nintendo so that'll solve accidentally upgrading your system nand. By the way, It wont be the 9.2.0.20 release, but hopefully the very next one, gateway will have what they said in the email to me!!!! Now this may seem like a long shot, but it really isn't. This is easy to do as long as we can learn how to back up a emunand and even edit it. And as far as my logic is thinking right now, it would be impossible to use these custom firmwares to screw up the 3ds such as it does with the ps3. There can't be any modding and changing the game to hell as far as I know... But of course once you dump your 3ds game file to a computer then screw with it, yeah it will be hacked but It would be a little hard to get online unless you get a online patch and mod that then reflash it to your 3ds. but it's easier said then done!! So as far as the whole modding crap, it's not going to happen any further then it already is. at least not for awhile.... But I thought everyone would love to know this information. And hey, it could further the hacking community and crack the 3ds right open!!!
