If i have al9h, what is the best way to update animal crossing?

Freeshop?

Also, can i update the system to the last firmware

(Current version is the last one before the new one)

If you have arm9loaderhax with updated Luma3DS (v6.5) go ahead and update to 11.2.0-35 and download the update from the eShop. I don't think that freeShop has the New Leaf update. Or you could try and get it from that iso site.

11.02.0-35 is the latest official firmware?

Thanks for the reply

Thank you!

I want to buy a New Nintendo 3DS XL with firmware under 11.0 so I can install CFW very easily without a system transfer. How to check the serial number and where can I get a list of serials and their respective firmware? I'll be buying from Europe because I need an EUR 3DS. Also, if I buy a New 3DS XL and install the CFW on it, will I be able to transfer everything from my old european 3DS with OFW, without losing saves of virtual console games?

Thanks

Can I get CFW and the Debugger with Homebrew at 9.6 now that I have it or do I have to go to 9.2 to get CFW?

You have to go to 9.2.

“Use SysNAND FIRM if booting with R (A9LH)” <---why is this option still required for A9LH without emuNAND?

If you buy brand new you are nearly guaranteed to get an exploitable system (just don't buy a special edition from the last few months). If second hand, ask to see a pic of the settings screen.

How do I create backups and how do I install said backup in case anything happens?

Hourglass9 for any and all A9LH backups and restoring backups.

Hourglass9 for any and all A9LH backups and restoring backups.

And new backups wont override older backups?
So should i backup SysNAND or EmuNAND?

You can save your backups to different names, such as sysNAND.bin, NAND.bin, NAND_sys.bin. You can use Up and Down on the D-Pad to change the name of the backup. If you have a backup called, for example, sysNAND.bin, when you use the D-Pad to select a name, it'll show sysNAND.bin to let you know that you already have a backup with that name. You can also use your computer to rename backups, such as putting the system model/firmware version/date as the filename.

Hey everyone.

I've been out of the 3DS hacking loop for a long time now and all of this new information is very overwhelming. I'd just like to know something.

I currently have a gateway 3DS and it's served me well. My question is with all these new flashcart-less hacks, is there really any reason for me to not keep on using my gateway? The only thing I use it for is to play games.

Thanks in advance!

So what firmware version should I label it as, since I followed the guide.

A9LH lets your console behave like a stock console only with brick protection and being able to install anything you want on it. If you don't want to use your Gateway card anymore it is definitely worth while. If you want to keep using it, is a little fiddly to get it working with a9lh, and Gateway does not have firm protection so if you accidentally update on sysNAND you could brick (so you'd be better off keeping emuNAND - being able to ditch emuNAND and update sysNAND is one of the benefits of a9lh).
So up to you. If you don't enjoy messing about and hacking stuff you may prefer to keep using Gateway like you currently are.

11.2.0-35U, and maybe followed by the day you made the backup.
