ok thanks for clearing that upTo update its like installing a CIA. But that CIA is the game update.
Hey guys, I am currently looking to buy an used 3DS. Once I have purchased it, I want to get a flashcart. I live in Canada. What is the best flashcart available to me for a low price?
Also, can ROMs loaded onto a flashcart be played online? I want to know if there are any discrepancies between a flashcart game and a legitimate copy, because when I had my M3 on the Nintendo DS, there were basically no discrepencies.
No flashcard is cheap, but modchipcentral is pretty good. I got mine from there.
And you'd have to get a private header to play online if you don't want to get your console banned. Otherwise it's legit.

I'd wait until you had the 3ds before buying a cart. If its above 9.5 then gateway would not work on it and the 3ds would need to be downgraded.
CFW is free and its what I would recommend. I have a gateway card and am currently not even using it since CFW does everything that gateway does. It takes a bit of work to get it set up but once its done you are golden.
All you need for CFW is a system on 9.5 or below and a browser to initially set it up.
Hello,
Thank you for bringing CFW to my attention. I will look into it, friend.
I am seeing that there are many restrictions on many methods. This is okay for me, but I am just wondering; am I out of options if I purchase a device that is above 9.5?
I will of course be purchasing the 3DS before doing anything, but I like to plan these things out ahead of time so that there are no surprises.
Thank you, take care.
you got the order wrong (common mistake) you install rxtools and use that to updateIs there a tutorial somewhere on how to update to 9.2 from older versions?
A friend has a console on 8.1.9-19U and he is looking to mod it to bring it to 9.2 and install rxtools.
Any tutorial?
nope not screwedHello,

I haven't really looked into anything above 9.2 so I am not entirely sure so don't take my word for it but I think I read somewhere that if its at 1.0.5 (which is above 9.2) then you can downgrade it but not if its 1.0.6 which unless the seller updated it sometime this or last week then it won't be on 1.0.6.
I'd wait for more answers if I were you. I haven't read up on anything above 9.2
nope not screwed
the target system is 9.2 or lower
9.3 to 10.3 can downgrade and anything higher than that will need to be hard-modded in order to downgrade
well there is always that possibility . . . but realistically speaking its not likely for at least a year (if ever) . . . every time devs hack, nintendo updates and the opportunities become fewer in number and harder to findThank you, I'll keep this in mind when purchasing.
Thanks. I assume that if I purchase a device that has been very recently updated, I will simply need to wait for time and my 3DS version will eventually be downgradable?

but if you have soldering skills (or are willing to pay someone who does) then any 3ds can be downgraded . . . otherwise try to find one in as low a fw as possable
I just bought a gateway for my old 3DS on firmware 5.1.0-0, only to find out I don't have a browser and thus can't get it to work. I thought I could make a nand backup and use rxtools to update the browser, but in order to boot it requires either a browser, the Homebrew Launcher, or menuhax + CTRBootmanager (not sure what that is exactly). HBL is not an option, since it too requires a browser, ninjahax (don't have cubic ninja), or homemenuhax. How do I get around this?
Would it be possible to update the system to 9.2 with a game cart, use homemenuhax to boot the Homebrew Launcher and go from there?
Or should I just get myself a cubic ninja game? (so expensive though)
I also heard some things about an exploit having to do with Ocarina of Time, but I really don't understand it very much.
Or is there a CFW that doesnt require homebrew, ninjahax, browsers, etc.?
Or any other options?
You're help would be greatly appreciated!
I'm in the same position; updating using a game cart does update your system but does not get you a browser. It is suggested to use cubic ninja and ocarina of time to load homebrew BUT you would need the physical card. I'm going to buy a 3ds flashcard for nds games and load something up on it that makes the browser possible. I had a guide for it somewhere.. There is no CFW that does not need homebrew access because homebrew is what you use to even install CFW.
So if I were to have a physical copy of Ocarina of Time, I would be able to load the homebrew launcher?
