[Coogie]

I've a 3ds here it's the kids he is not playing with it,it's lying there,
It has 1.0.0.-e firmware on it.is there any thing I can do with it to get free games on it?if I update it will it shot to 11.3 firmware?cheers

 

[rikumax25!]

3ds.guide has info about what to do on each firmware

 

[rctgamer3]

DO NOT UPDATE TO 11.3. You will not be able to hack it on the latest version (For now).

Holy crap it has 1.0.0 firmware! anyway, in order to hack a 3DS to play free games on it, you have two options, either buy a flashcard or install a CFW, most people here have chosen CFW due to how easier it is to use compared to a flashcard nowadays, anyway, since you're on the very first firmware you will need to update, however, you don't have to update to 11.3, you can buy a game that has an older firmware and you're set to go, check 3dsdb.com and look for any games below 11.3, preferably look for ones below 11.0 just in case

After doing that, go to this site: https://3ds.guide/ and the guide will set you up quickly

Wow really really old firmware, i would recomend getting game with 9 firmware 9.2 or a bit higher but not 11.3 that one is bad and also this site helps

 

[Coogie]

Brilliant folks for the reply,
So I buy a game put it in and will it update to say 11.0 firmware will it nit go to 11.3?

If you can find the cartridge for roller coaster tycoon 3d, then you can update to 2.1 and install 19lh right from there. Other wise, nearly any cartridge should update you to an appropriate firmware.

yes, pretty much any game, but not all update you to 11.0. Just mention which game you want to use and i'll google it real fast.

You might update to firmware 2.1 first to get the otp then install a9lh.

You need a cartridge with the rifhgt firmware:
http://3dsdb.com/

Look there for what cart has which firmware, anything lower than 11.2.0 and higher or equal to 2.1 will work.

 

[Giodude]

if you have a cartridge of any 3ds launch title you should be able to update to 2.1. A great example of this is star fox 64 3d.

You don't have to buy anything. Just follow 3ds.guide

(You are on 1.0.0 though so you likely need to cart update)

 

[eroz76]

You don't have to buy anything. Just follow 3ds.guide

not for firmware 1.0.0

 

[xtheman]

not for firmware 1.0.0

You can follow 3ds.guide on ver 1.0.0, but you will need to cart update.

What if he/she does not have a cart, she/he will have to buy / borrow / rent a cart.

If you see my earlier post:

You need a cartridge with the right firmware:
http://3dsdb.com/

Look there for what cart has which firmware, anything lower than 11.2.0 and higher or equal to 2.1 will work.
