Hacking N3DS XL Firmware by version number

[PeepersCreepers]

QW 4008 MH Handheld - Version 9.2

Works flawlessly with Sky3DS.

Can you please post a screenshot? There is some conflicting info here on these forums.

Man it's more of a bitch to get that back cover off than their manual would seem to imply, but I managed eventually. Worst cover removal that I've EVER had, I was beginning to think mfg defect and they glued it, but got it and swapped in 64GB uSD.

Now gw3ds get busy so I can retire the sky3ds.

I used my fingernail (even though they tell you not to. Spudgers work great for them. The stylus is a failed attempt. Once it's off the first time, it's a bit easier the next time.

Yes it is.




Yes it does. If he is right, maybe GameStop is updating the firmware without us knowing it...

There's no way to update the product without opening the package(and turning it on), which they're not allowed to do, also that means they have to format each time they update, since when you open a new 3DS you need to go through the set-up.

And by law in most countries, a product is considered used if you turn it on (even if once only). Pretty sure Gamestop wouldn't want their asses sued for selling used products.

Ok, good to know. I thought GameStop updated my New 3DS without me knowing it.
I wouldnt put it past them. So far one "new" Wii U game did not have a working Club Nintendo Code, and one 3DS game did not either.

Hmm... My N3DS is from GameStop as well...

Mine came directly from GameStop...

Added picture to my post.

Added picture to my post.

Thank you.

I was going to go apeshit on GameStop, but it looks like the MH version is 2.2 no mater what.

For reference, Gamestop has a nasty habit of sometimes running low on new stock and they tend to sell your the display copy. You can tell because usually you grab it from the shelf and it's open. Then they just root around a drawer for the disc, slap it inside, and call it new.

Also 9 times out of 10, people steal the codes from Gamestop. Especially on used games that people sell back or even new ones on the shelf. It's why I never will buy anything there.

I bought a BRAND NEW game from Gamestop and the code did now work.

Interesting, seems like some serials can have different firmware. Here's my pic of a QW4008 with 9.0 FW. Again, I got mine at B&H Photo ordered on the day of release.

Seems like it's just Red and MH version.

Black looks to be safe.

New 3ds RED QW4027
Ver. 9.4.0-21U..... Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

 

[gamesquest1]

people buying the red consoles are just asking for trouble, seems to be mostly 9.4 for red consoles

 

[Kohmei]

The reds seem to be built better, at least the top hinge is much more firm whereas the "black" (more a slate grey) is pretty floppy. I also think it's just a nicer color. Thinking of doing a mobo swap

 

[guitarheroknight]

The hinge on my regular black I'd super tight and doesn't wiggle at all! Very pleased with the build quality.
