Hacking 3DS update version 9.6.0-24 out now

[thorasgar]

I hope N3DS games won't require 9.6...

They will.

Soon™

Did you already have 9.0? what was the point of updating? I understand if you were on JAP 8.0 though.

Nah, the firmware on SSB was at 8.x when I did it. I don't remember why I needed that version instead of the latest fw though. Probably GateWay couldn't emulate the latest version yet.

There was a week or two where gateway didn't support 9.something emunand and updating to 8.1 from SSB was the best available.

Yup, thanks! Really wanted to try Smash.

 

[Random Joe]

so really the only reason why 9.5 is better then 9.0 is for theme shuffle right?

nothing else has changed besides that

 

[Kumadoken]

Sky3ds rules just updated, if anyone is interested in a sky3ds please PM - tks

 

[pastaconsumer]

Just around the corner™

A time in the possibly near future™

Wrong!

System Stability! A more enjoyable user experience.

This update includes an additional feature on PAL and North American systems… Nintendo added the web browser easter egg (a special version of Breakout) that was present on New Nintendo 3DS at launch in Japan (but was mysteriously removed from western systems).
To access it, go to the web browser, click on the “Tab” icon, open a new one, and then tap the first notes of the Super Mario Bros. theme.

I told u all... Sky3ds will never be blocked... only
Y a hardware update will kill it. I know.. I'm a gateway user now and I love it... on 9.5... and I rarely play online . We will stay on 9.5 , play Cia games...yeah... I'm kinda drunk.

 

[itpun]

Is there any way of preventing the 3ds from downloading the new update automatically while still keeping the wifi up to play games? I dont want an update notice popping up at the wrong time...

 

[Apache Thunder]

I would assume 9.6 will boot in emunand if you manually updated via CIAs and avoid the update relating to NATIVE_FIRM? I would assume 9.6 has an update to NATIVE_FIRM as that's probably the only thing that usually breaks emunand.

Just wanna say....

But in time... you will be one of the few who does have a GW. And knowing Nintendon't holding a grudge, wouldn't be shocked if they go after GW before Sky3DS.

It's all about the ROM dump, baby!

 

[Zidapi]

Anyone have an idea as to how one would go about getting 9.5 EmuNAND again?

Easy. Just restore the backup you made before updating.

 

[Ralph1611]

I back up emunand twice a month. Back it up.

 

[digitalkid56]

In TRUE n00b fashion, I was upgrading emunand while I was reading this forum....

And of course now I have several questions..
1. Like a dumbass, I neglected to backup my emunand before I updated (is there any data I can salvage from the card so that I can merge with my new emunand setup? i.e. streetpass data, savegames, etc)
2. I put a new card in, erased emnand and separated sysnand and emunand, both are on 9.0.0-20U again.. (what is the latest firmware included with a game, 9.2? And which game would have the highest? SSB or Cooking Mama EU?)
3. Briefly read that it may be possible to update to a specific firmware using a CIA? (Is this really possible, and where might i find such invaluable pieces of information?)

thanks in advance.. this is a hard and long learning process LOL

Only thing you can do is decrypt the fat16 partition of your current 9.6 emunand (don't worry, it doesn't have to be in a bootable state to do this as long as sysnand still works. ).

Then use a program like WinImage to open the fat16 image and extract the data, private, and dbs folders. Then backup your 9.6 emunand (because gateway may still release an update to fix it...Unless your on a n3DS, then you're ***ked and it will be a long *** time before you can use that copy of your emunand again. and inject a copy of your sysnand into it.

Then manually update that new emunand to 9.5 via CIA files (as long as you do this while in emunand, you won't get bricked). Then extract and decrypt that copy of emunand (rxTools is your best bet here. Don't bother with the time consuming xorpad stuff. ) and put in the files you extracted from your 9.6 emunand.

Then you succesfully transfered your NNID and other info to the newly created 9.5 emunand.

Long story short you'll have to search around and ask questions because I don't have the time to fully explain the process. Needless to say you are in for a bad time. Might be easier for you to just wait for Gateway at this point. Unless you are on a n3DS, then there's a legitimate reason why you should really try and do what I just said.


But for the n3DS you have to wait till Karl/OSKA gets release for it as there currently is no xorpad/decryption homebrew for n3DS nand/emunand yet. So your basically ***ked for awhile.
