https://3ds.guide/Ok, I have a n3ds on 11.1. I've followed the guide at 3ds.guide to prepare my SD card. The steps that detail the installation though start with: 1. You should be on 2.1.
Wut? There was nothing mentioned in the guide before then about downgrading... And like blaisdinsd said in the comment before me, the guide states this works on all devices<11.2.
Do I need to downgrade or should I just skip that because it's obsolete info that was not removed when they updated the guide?
Which downgrade are you referring to? There are 2 downgrades steps, 1 not required if FW <11.0
If it is the 11.0+...
NFIRM Downgrade...
If you are referring to 2.1, that is required, and recently added back. (was outdated, now updated)
Before the past week,There was Optless method, that does not require one to downgrade to 2.1. However, there was a random chance of bricking, and solution not found.
So Optless method was removed.
