Hey gang, I just bought a new Sky3DS from ModChipsDirect and was curious if anyone else encountered the issues I'm running into? My new Sky3DS (sent in plastic bubble wrap and no proper packaging) doesn't work in any system running firmware 4.5 or above. I have tried with an O3DS on firmware 10.1, a 2DS on firmware 7.x and in its 10.1 emunand via rxTools, and a O3DS XL with sysnand 7.x and emunand 10.1 via emunand. On all three systems the Sky3DS doesn't even light up, with and without a microSD card.
On a whim after two days of trial and error, I decided to downgrade my 3DS XL using my Gateway card to firmware 4.2, and low and behold on a firmware below 4.5 the card will light up when inserted, however the lights just blink and nothing else happens. According to Sky's website firmware 4.5+ is needed, so using retail carts I have laying around I was able to manually update the system above 4.5 again and then the Sky3DS stops blinking altogether.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? I've emailed MCD several times with no response so I am unsure if they are going to swap it out for a properly working one and am hoping there might be something I can try on my end to fix it since it does start blinking below firmware 4.5.
