Hacking Anyway to update emunand without using System Update?

[IsaiahBeal]

Got my Gateway today, but Nintendo just released firmware 9.6 which effective stops it from working. I was wondering if there is any other way to update emunand to 9.0 or 9.5 that doesn't involve using the System Update option because and that will update the 3DS to 9.6.

I successfully downgraded my 3DS to 4.2, an installed Gateway and emunand succesfully (currently running GW 4.2.0), but to play some of the more recent games, i need to update my emunand to 9.0 - 9.5. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Use majora's mask japanese version. It will update the emunand to 9.4.

 

[Stoned]

Yes

Your Version = ???
Ssb = 9.5
Format Emunad
Backup your Nand
Make Update whit SSB
Boot Emunand (it Create 9.5 emunand)
Exit Emunad
Flash Nand back.
Done.

he needs sky to be able to update with a rom

 

[VerseHell]

No, he can update with a rom by holding up while choosing gw mode (in the gw menu). He can also use UpdateCDN or 3DSNUS.

 

[Migoma]

so what rom comes with 9.5 update ?

 

[VerseHell]

None, but Code Name : Steam comes with 9.4, it's basically the same.

Assuming you're not using an N3DS, support for emuNAND 9.6 is expected to be available within the next few days. I would personally just wait.

Where did you hear about it?

It's just a guess. GW used to make an update or the new system within several days.

Just so I get this right and don't screw it up, is this what I have to do?

1. Turn on the 3DS and enter the GATEWAY menu.
2. Hold UP, and boot GATEWAY mode.
3. Choose a rom that has 9.0 - 9.4, and it will ask me to update.
4. Update.

Is that it? Am I good?

Yes, but be sure to be on the emunand first before updating. (For example you can put your sysnand in a different language)

Don't you need the game to be from the same region as your system?

 

[VerseHell]

Yes you do.

 

[Kay|s7eR]

Yes you do.

OK. Thanks.

Gotcha, thanks for the help everyone!

Gotcha, thanks for the help everyone!

You might also want to make a backup of your 4.2 emunand too, if you haven't already. I make a habit of making a copy of my emuNAND each time I update it, just so I can go back if I need to.
