Refurbished 2/3dses normally come on latest firmware.

Welp going to have to return it then, if that's the case :(

Happen to know if the Crimson red bundle is on the latest fw? I saw a thread on that topic, and someone said it should be lower than 11. Haven't seen anyone verify it so far.

I highly doubt it will be different but ebay has a good return policy.

Yeah, if anything i just have to pay return shipping, also B&H has some back orders available late Jan for both the electric blue and crimson red for $90. I'm not sure if the latest mario kart 7 bundle is on the latest fw. I did hear rumors not to buy the yokai version though.

The refurbished 2DS I got from Nintendo earlier this year (March or so) was on 8.1. Unfortunately, the refurbished N3DS XL Hyrule Edition I got a week ago was on 11.0, so I had to DSiWarehax it. I would assume the 2DS will probably be below 11.0, though.

Nintendo refurbs are excellent.

Regular ones from gamestop come with 6. firmware. I would suggest getting those if you really want a hackable firmware but referbs I don't know. I would think 9.2-11.0

That's good to hear. Btw, what's the whole deal about dswarehax?

In a hypothetical situation where the 2ds is on 11.0 firm, i can downgrade via dswarehax?

I bought 3 of the refurb blue 2DS Mario Kart bundles direct from Nintendo (via their eBay store) on Black Friday. They just came in and all of them were on 11.0. I downgraded via Dsiware and installed A9LH using Steelhax as my entry point. Now to resell them...I ship worldwide if anyone is interested. :P

Btw, the bottom one is my gf's which I used for the downgrade.

DSiware hax isn't practical for me, since i don't have another O3ds to do the transfer. (Sold It)

It also seems to be a pretty lengthy procedure that i don't want to mess with at this point, haha.

I'll be preferable that the one i ordered is at 10.7 or lower. In this point in time, i'm more comfortable using OOT method.

    I would like a Predator game "Kill Team" it takes place in the Jungle of the first movie, your team is sent to hunt the predator, using current tech drones and a trained team. Set traps use strategy to hunt and trap or kill the predator.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I went today and looked at a motorcycle someone was selling. I get there and the battery on it was dead, so the guy grabbed a battery charger and hooked it up. He plugged it into the wall, and the motorcycle sparked and started smoking. Come to find out the bike uses a 6 volt battery and the guy had the charger set to 12v. I said sorry to the dude and walked away. I felt bad for him tho.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Sounds like it would be an exciting ride....
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure I would want something on fire between my legs
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    He ruined it basically. Sad cause it was a decent old bike. It would take more money to rewire the bike than it was worth tho.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I'm sure at minimum the starter was fried
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You need the $900 copper coated ones, they are good for 10 times cooking before they are un cleanable
