Big NO from what I can remember. Use sysupdater.
Thanks but I tested sysupdater on emunand first and it gave a lot of errors. Only have this on my JPN system though. I could easily update my EUR console emunand to 9.5 a couple weeks ago.
Would it be safe to update a Jap N3DS on stock 8.1J using the Sugar.Rush.3D.JPN.eShop.3DS-BigBlueBox ROM which has the 9.0J update on it? I'm referring to updating sysnand of course.
Thanks!
i got an 8.1 jp N3DS and at the time you couldn't use gateway on 8.1. majora's mask 3D has 9.4 but that was too expensive so I bought the JP mario vs donkey kong game which also had 9.4 and it was dirt cheap. then i loaded classic mode and updated via retail cart
that's what I did. My guess would be to use 3DNUS to download all the 9.5 CIAs and then install them with devmenu, but before I officially recommend that (since I've heard bad **** about using dev/bigblue), @Psi-hate is there any problem with trying that as opposed to sys updater?
If the ROM has 9.0, it should work totally fine. However, it won't work in Gateway. There is no safe way to update SysNAND with a Gateway cart. I recommend using either a Sky3DS, or borrowing/buying the original game. Alternatively, if you own Cubic Ninja for your system region, you can use PastaCFW without Firmlaunch to safely update the console through sysUpdater 0.3 or 0.4.
Sys updater is seveal times safer and reliable. I recommend that, because Dev menu is very finickyi got an 8.1 jp N3DS and at the time you couldn't use gateway on 8.1. majora's mask 3D has 9.4 but that was too expensive so I bought the JP mario vs donkey kong game which also had 9.4 and it was dirt cheap. then i loaded classic mode and updated via retail cart
