Hacking can i connect to eshop without updating my firmware?

[CIAwesome526]

oh i see, is there a way to access the 3DS microsd without unscrewing the faceplates? where would i go to get this ntr.bin if i can ask?

EDIT: think i found the ntr.bin myself

try the ntr-cfw 2.1 thread... :\

NTR 2.1 is outdated. NTR 2.2 has been out for ages.

Google NTR CFW to find NTR CFW 2.2 thread, download all the necessary files and use this thread for instructions http://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-spoof-firmware-to-access-eshop-and-more-on-new-3ds-and-old-3ds.386591/
There's no other way to access microSD other than unscrewing the backplate, which at this point i just keep unscrewed.

MicroSD management in settings works fine at any version. It's not fast, but with how small ntr.bin is it's irrelevant for the time being.
Going to want to unscrew it when you format emunand, though

Wait what ? You can use MicroSD managment to transfer files from your computer to 3DS ? I didn't even know that

You gave a permalink to a post that is irrelevant.

He wants to spoof the firmware though, so I think that link is correct (leading to your thread).

Yes, but you gave a link to a post that is irrelevant (click the link you gave, you will see).

if i use microSD management i'd have to connect the 3DS to my wifi network though no?

wouldn't that automaticaly force 9.7 firmware download? i've kept the 3DS outside of my network and being paranoid about this

No. Updates are never applied to your device automatically.

It may download but it won't install unless you tell it to—and it won't download either unless you leave the 3DS in sleep mode WHILE connected to wifi. And if it does download, you can delete it by booting into recovery mode.

You also can't install NTR without connecting to the internet. Or use the eShop.

Not completly (still go to page 24).

Connecting in itself won't do anything. Trying to connect to eShop or perform a system transfer will run an update check (but not install) prior to running which is what we patch out with NTR.
Updates can also be downloaded via Spotpass (which still aren't force installed and the nag can be cleared safely), but if you're paranoid just turn off wireless before closing the system and turn it on as needed.

i tought it would be like the wii where it goes like "NEW FIRMWARE DETECTED! DOWNLOADING NOW!"

No matter what, unless you say go to system settings and choose to install, you can always say no.

you never edited that post...

We've been over this. If you edit a post in the first minute it won't say "Last edited".

kinda unrelated to my other question but since i'm here at this point i might even ask

is there a chance to use my old and decrepit acekard on my new3ds? my old ds touch screen is all busted and i would have loved to play some ouendan on it
