Hardware 1.0.0-0E - it's good or not really? ಠ_ಠ

[Inai]

As in the title. I've been researching the possibility of getting a custom soft on my old 3DS, checked the firmware and it's that. I've tried reading on it, but I got lost pretty soon. Some said its wonderful, some said it's too old to be hacked...
What is it, really? Do I have some kind of a Graal or it's no waste to update...? Please help, I got completely lost, really.

For a collector maybe, the general public doesn't care about low firmware now a day.

Follow this guide. It will help you to hack your 3ds. You're able to hack every 3ds device with every firmware. After you've installed your cfw, there is no reason why you shouldn't update it.

Okay! Thank you
It'll work with both original games and r4, too, right?

At one point 1.0.0 was undumped and so it was of special interest (since you can downgrade o3DS to any firmware you like, as long as there is a dump available), also it was of special interest due to un updated 3DSes sometimes having remains of Nintendo's secret sauce factory and dev tools that could sometimes be fully recovered. I believe it's been dumped since then though. But it's possible that your 1.0.0 console could have remains of some not-yet-seen secret tools, though unlikely.

You can hack 1.0.0, you just can't boot a hacked console on 1.0.0.

Anyway, probably no reason to keep it on 1.0.0. But if you have a DS flashcart compatible with ntrboot (list here: https://3ds.hacks.guide/ntrboot) you can boot GodMode9 through it and dump the stock 1.0.0 NAND, before again using ntrboot but this time to install CFW. Someone may want to have a look through it to see if there's any factory stuff left on it.

I admit it's taken me a while to understand what you wrote, but I think I get it xD Thank you very much! <3
