Hi is it the same with a game update to update to 9.2 ?

Yep, it's the same. I can't explain it in english (I'm too bad) but 'cause you're french, please traducte for me :)

En gros, la version système est light càd elle a pas les composants superflus comme miiverse et le browser web d'installé. Donc -> Il need une update. Seulement, si on update avec un jeu, il installe lui aussi une version "light". Le seul moyen d'avoir le navigateur c'est d'update en ligne, désolé.

Please traduct :)

Here is the Amadren message in english ;)
The system version in your 3ds is a "light" one : some components are missing (not embedded not installed) like MiiVerse or the web browser. So an Internet update is needed (the retail games firmwares are also "light" so they will not install a Full firmware)

Amaden says that you have no choice only an Internet update will fix you browser issue :'(

On another website, we tried it with Super Smash Bros and it wasn't working.

It was because the system was in 8.1 so it wasn't prompting for an update. I think it will be the same for all N3DS as lons as they all come with 8.1 fw

on my n3ds, the browser asked me a question. it turned out to be an agreement, not update. are you sure it wants to go online and not just wants you to agree/turn on WiFi?

So does that mean that it's false that you can update the browser from a cart, or it's true that you can update the browser from a cart, but it won't work unless it also updates the main firmware at the same time?

If the latter, I wonder if a game with 9.2 firmware would also contain a browser on-cart. Although the recent post about a Smash Bros. game with 9.2 on it had it update to -17, which probably means there was no browser on the cart and the system was already -17.

Rule of thumb: Internet-related features can only be updated through an internet system update. It makes sense for Nintendo to do, really, since they'd want as many people as possible on the latest firmware, and if you're going to use internet features, you clearly have an internet connection you can use to update.

Have you tried to restore your original nand dump that you made? You can backup your emunand so that you don't lose your cia's and etc.

Other than that, this is definitely a strange occurrence. Lets hope it doesn't happen to more people.

Uh-oh, here's another report of someone being able to go online yesterday, but being prompted to update before being able to go online today.
I have a 4.5 CFW on my 3ds and I have an online compatible MarioKart 7 Cia, and I used the online feature yesterday. Today it won't let me online locally or via wifi. Clicking online tells me I need to update the game?
Still awaiting confirmation at this stage, but I've removed my connection settings to be on the safe side.

different issue, this user cannot even access the internet browser, that person just seems to of lost his title update from the game......idk im guessing it may be possible that the OP of this thread just had some bad luck and his browser was somehow corrupted so the title was deleted from the system or something weird and 1 in a million million chance of happening......don't hit that panic button just yet

This issue was reported only on jpn new 3ds idk for the other region.

Also, I'm sure at 99% that it's only a "light" update. I had a friend that had the same issue when trying to update to 4.5 from à 2.x-0E

But still worth giving a try :P

Or maybe it never had the browser. N3DS nver starts at 0 iirc, it's not shared with old 3ds.

Everything went well the day before yesterday (I can load browser, get into GW mode and so on)
BUT, TODAY WHEN I SWITCH ON MY 3DS LL, I CANNOT LOAD BROWSER, IT KEEP SAYING THAT: if you want to use the browser you must upgrade your 3DS via internet.
And so I just have no way to go into GW mode...can someone help plz?

so yeah it seems he had the browser installed, then suddenly didn't, i suppose if he shared what his system version is showing as in system settings, there might show if it did have the browser at some point.....but assuming he isn't lying (i don't see why he would be, but lets not rule that out, lots of people lie on the internet over the weirdest of things :blink: ), but basically if i installed the browser on 2.0 it would stay installed even if i used a cart update to update, but yeah its a bit weird if it was working then somehow lost its browser

(i take it he is talking about the original 3ds XL as he said he cant get into gateway mode no more so it wouldn't be talking about the n3DS)

Nintendo can block the web browser if they want.
