Hi everybody, I'm new on the forum and I was wondering if any of you would be so kind to help me with my situation.
I've had the chance to buy an Old 3DS at a very low price but sadly I had no way to check it out beforehand.
As soon as I got it, I started working on it with the aim to install a custom firmware as I've already done before on another unit. I went straight to install the m4a file for the soundhex exploit but when I tried to run it the 3DS Music Player just spit a "Could not play" in my face. I quickly went to check the firmware version, "11.0.0-0E".
From my understanding this firmware is not supposed to exist, someone calls it a franken firmware and this kind of firmware is only created somehow artificially in an attempt to downgrade. On the other hand I've also read that updating the system from cartridge only, never updates the last version number so theoretically if one started with version 1.0.0-0E and updated by cartridge, one could legitimately end up with 11.0.0-0E? Is this correct? What do you think happened to this 3DS?
Also on this 3DS there is no browser (just a nag to update), no qr code scanner and no eShop, I get this is because the 0 means no browser or eShop, is this correct?
I've also found an issue on github regarding soundhax in which yellows8 says that cartridge update do not update the sound-app and I've also seen there's a note about this here so I think updating by cartridge to, say 11.1, will not be of any help.
To sum it all up, is upgrading to 11.3 and waiting for the next kernel exploit the only thing I can do here? Am I missing something?
Thanks for sticking with me to the end of this long post
