Hey all! After a frantic day of setting up my Gateway, I've finally gotten to what i've been trying to do all along: updating my retail Smash Cart.

I found the 1.0.5 USA patch from the internet, and installed it in EmuNAND using the BigBlueManager. The 1.0.5 update is clearly in my microsd when I look at it from EmuNAND's data manager, but when I put in my Smash cart in classic mode or sysNAND, it still shows as being on 1.0.1. What gives? Could anyone help me? I'm under the impression that 1) there's something i'm missing or 2) i'm installing the wrong update region.

Did you install the correct region? Make sure you double check. If you installed the update cia with Title manager then it's probably the wrong region.

What do you mean by "If you installed the update cia with Title manager then it's probably the wrong region"?

I think problem is that most cias (including updates) don't work in classic mode. Dump your cart and run it in gateway mode as a .3dz.

Meaning if you used Title Manager, and it still isn't working then the CIA was for the wrong region.

I thought it was just "unsigned" CIAs. He is trying to install an update for a game which should work right?

Yeah, looks I was wrong, only will work in emuNand. But yeah if you dump the game, and update in emuNand you can then just play it off your Gateway.


Game updates are signed per-console, and only Nintendo can sign them (when you download them from the eshop).

I thought updates were like the 100% legit signed CIA installs of pre-bundled games but I was mistaken. :)

Then is there no way for me to play my retail cart?
Your cart will work just fine in classic mode it just won't have the update and you can't play online.

Do plan on playing online? As stated dump it as a 3dz and optionally convert it to cia or download a smash cia.
Cia files are like sandwiches, they taste so much better when somebody else makes them.

TIP: Next time you have eshop access download all the updates to games you think you might want to play. Eshop does not check to see if you own the cart.

Darn. Well right now, I've backed up my retail sav.; do i just need to rename it to the smash titleID and put it in the 3ds MicroSD to use my save?

Yeah, the way I normally do it is just get the updates off the eShop in emunand classic and it works flawlessly on my retail cart in classic mode

my suggestion is just to wait until 9.6 is supported on emunand

    @BigOnYa I had 4.89 hfw on super slim that was great, but when I got a new hard disk I forgot where the guide was and could only find a guide for 4.90 and its resources
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I think another reason to want to update is if the hfw is at the level of the fw

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
