So there's not much hope of being able to play legit cartridges on a downgraded N3DS any time soon, then?
Plenty of retail cartridges come with an update on them and they require you to update if you want to play them. A lot of them have an update higher than 9.4 on them.What are you talking about? No new games require any firmware passed 9.4 and even that's only required if you use Amiibo.
eShop version yes (digital version.)Games like Tri Force Heroes have the new encryption, no?
Then how does rxtools work? When was N3DS support added exactly?

N3DS support was added wit the 3.0 nightlies. It works the same way as GW and Reinand and all the rest. The only difference is GW patches the kernel version (apparently, not 100% sure how they do it or if this is exactly what they are doing)
When exactly during the 3.0 nightlies was N3DS support added? Was it added with the first 3.0 nightly or somewhere at some point?
Also how does firmlaunch work anyway?
Because I know the 9/28 nightly just uses one firmware.bin file, that you generate with cdn_firm.py and place in the sys folder.
Works for me on O3DS, but then if you tried running that on N3DS it would work too no? Or would it be unable to load the firmware because it is 9.6 or higher?
Or I guess if rxtools uses a 9.5 firm even on O3DS then it would work on both, hmm. But would be a waste to limit o3ds to 9.5 firm when you could be on higher firm.

So I won't be able to play MH4U, TFH, or Hyrule Warriors Legends on a New 3DS without turning them into CIAs and fixing the Exheader?
Ah okay, so the firmware.bin generated by cdn_firm.py in the rxTools download won't actually work on N3DS and you need to download a different one from a different source.
It all makes sense now.
Well, I can dump them from the Gateway tool or other tools, and follow a tutorial to fix the exheader, or wait for fixed versions to show up on that site, right?
Also can we say we're safe in thinking we'll always be able to update emunand to latest firmware on O3DS?
Since the additional layer of security the N3DS has is hardware-based, they can't exactly go back and add it to the O3DS.
I think that's pretty cool because if you have an O3DS then you can rest easy because then as long as you never update sysnand you'll always be able to be on latest firmware with emunand, still have access to all the newer features, still have access to everything online, etc.
Yeah, usually its a quick fix on the devs side (like when an update breaks the multi-rom menu in GW).But if a change breaks some feature of the cfw, it'll be possible for us to fix it and make it work again without much trouble yeah? Compared to N3DS where we are pretty much stuck because we can't get the keys, at least not yet.

YOu dont need gateways cart to dump them. So use the menu (you can launch it with hbl now) to dump the cart, then look for 3DS Simple CIA Converter v4.3 and use it to generate the ncchinfo.bin file, then use that with Decrypt9WIP to generate xorpads. Then use the xorpads with the converter to create the cia files. The converter has an option you can enable to spoof the fw.
edit:
For updates I would suggest getting them on that site since fixing updates is a pain in the ass in my opinion.
Also this obviously wont work for eshop only games. Those you will have to find cryptofixed versions of on that site.
For cryptofixing?Got any suggestions for a good tutorial for that, then? I may have one in my watched threads, but probably not, since I'm new to this.
For this:
