Hacking [GUIDE] Upgrading 8.1.0-0J to 9.2.0-20J

[cearp]

What's broken about GW's 8.1J support? I thought OOT/CN had that covered.

gw does not really work on 8.1j, no multirom etc etc, but you can still update emunand so that is ok
and naturally, once emunand is on something that is not 8.1, you are ok

Can't load the multirom menu, still broken as of 3.1.1

The only problem is, people with 8.1J just now* entering the gateway "game" are completely out of luck, because updating emuNAND results in getting 9.6, making Gateway completely useless for them. Hopefully they'll push an update soon (not Gateway soon) so the multi-rom menu works on 8.1..

*I imagine most of us who have Gateway + 8.1J were quick enough to get 9.5 emuNANDs, but that won't help the few who will eventually run into this problem.

Updating via classic mode cart is not out of the question, is what I believe cearp was getting at

That's probably true, but there are no Japanese games out yet that result in a desirable firmware (9.2), though I guess for emuNAND's sake Majora's Mask Japanese (comes with 9.4) would work fine.

I haven't made up my mind if I should get a sky3ds or a legit copy of MM to update my emunand 8.1J or just wait for GW to support 9.6.

would this work on a 7.x 3DS that cannot use internet browser?

Careful.....I would suggest to update to 9.2 at least as the latest 9.6 is still not supported.

Nope, not a n3ds (7.X?) so cannot use NTR 2.0 or it's debugger.

and once again, i'm shit out of luck. Thank you for your answer though xD

Zelda oot doesnt work with this, right?

Zelda oot is used to enter GW menu, not update emunand.

Sadly, no it does not. NTR only supports Cubic Ninja for now.

Well i had to ask, thanks anyway

Those of us on 8.1J with only OoT are still stuck for a bit longer.

Does anyone have a copy of NTR's release.zip? The filetrip link in the NTR thread doesn't work.

I have the NTR_PUBLIC_BETA_412986.zip which works on all region N3DSes.

*REMOVED*

I lied I do have Release.zip

*REMOVED.

NTR 2.1 is about to be released. Wait until that!

which rom should i use to update my 8.1J n3ds emunand with sky?

 

[Oishikatta]

No such rom exists, this is the only method currently. JP games are already coming with 9.4 - not exploitable yet.

 

[w0dash]

I can confirm it works nicely.

Thanks to yifan_lu for providing the method and Oishikatta for guiding my way through the darkness.
