So you are asking how to downgrade your game or your system version?

At this point you'll need a cia of an older update version. Uninstall your current one, find the cia for the game version you want, and install that.

If you're not able to find it, I know you can use ctrcdnfetch to specify a title version to download, but you'll have to get into the eshop and download the update legit, and dump the legit (personalized) ticket for the update, before you can use ctrcdnfetch to download the older update.

I'll have to mess with it to see if I can remember how to force it to download a specific title version...

Am I able to just delete the game and just put the cartrige back in?

I dont have the room for a new cia

 

[Dudee15]

I dont have the room for a new cia

So delete the old cia and then you have enough room for a new cia.

Think you can downgrade by deleting the update on the system with fbi.

^^ all updates are stored on the SD card and therefore should be able to be deleted. save might get corrupted tho so if you care about that, I'd back it up.

I'm not sure the 3DS gen games really care about game version, in relation to save data. updates back then were only bug fixes, nothing that would affect save data structure.

If 1.0 is fine for your needs then yeah, you don't need to bother with trying to download specific update versions from the cdn.

I don't understand why you'd need to uninstall the game and reinstall from a cartridge dump though? Just go in your data management and delete the update from the Downloadable Content menu... other guy's making this way more complicated than it needs to be.
