Depends on the n3ds you want to buy. Some newer special editions have the newest firmware. Some n3ds consoles could have been in the store for months, so they have to be on older firmware.Hello,
I want to buy a brand new N3DSXL, but should it then be possible to hack it?
Does Nintendo install the latest software on it before delivery?
Regards,
Twan
not at this point, consoles are manufactured months in advance to release so no brand new consoles will have a firmware past 10.3 for now.Depends on the n3ds you want to buy.

the same thing applies, they are manufactured months in advance to announcement/release so there is no chance that any of them will be past 10.3 (or 10.4) for a while.Even special editions?
Good to know, i'm going go buy another n3dsxl later anyway.the same thing applies, they are manufactured months in advance to announcement/release so there is no chance that any of them will be past 10.3 (or 10.4) for a while.
What if he is on 7.2 and an 3ds ROM needs 9.2 firmware? Can i update to just 9.2?the same thing applies, they are manufactured months in advance to announcement/release so there is no chance that any of them will be past 10.3 (or 10.4) for a while.

if it doesn't, well you'll just downgrade it to 9.2 in the guide (format it at least once before downgrading to prevent a soft brick!)Okay thanks! Will order my N3DSXL now, hope it runs on 9.2 or earlier...
