I was just wondering if I have anything to lose if I upgraded to 11.3 today. Seeing how 11.2 is perfectly fine right now, aside from the fact that you get the upgrade message popping up from time to time.
But that still doesn't answer my original question. If I'm upgrading, can I only upgrade all the way to the latest firmware? Or is it possible to go up to a version somewhere in between too? For example, lets say in the future a OFW update comes out that breaks all exploits (lets call it 12.0). If I used the 3ds.guide to downgrade to 2.1.0, can I then use something like a retail cart with a 11.2.0 update so that I don't have to upgrade all the way?
Basically I want to know that if I have a 3DS right now without any hax installed, and I've kept it on 11.2, am I going to miss my opportunity for CFW in the future if I don't do it right now?
