Well I bought a old 3ds motherboard on firmware 6.6 (Demo 3ds but hopefully it will work :/). I was gonna then do the stuff to get cfw on it and dsi downgrade it onto my new 3ds xl.

idk if DSi downgrade will work from a demo 3ds - can the demo 3ds download official eshop apps?

I think it will work.
If it does not work, as a last ditch effort you could hard mod the demo 3ds and maybe write a non-demo nand to it. Not sure about that though.

Hopefully, I'll have to see what it's capable in about -- *checks shipping time* --a week. Can it not ship faster :cry:

The whole point of buying it was so that I wouldn't need to hardmod :/

I mean if it doesn't work, the motherboard wouldn't be much help to you and hard modding wouldn't be as big of a risk. You don't have to

Hmm, if the 3ds couldn't download things becuase it was the "demo" 3ds, Would a cart update do anything?
potentially, but idk if it would even allow updates. May not even have a home menu and just boot games directly.IE so an employee wouldn't steal it.

I don't really know, but I am pretty sure it should work (I don't think Nintendo would want to make many modifications to the demo firmware).

Oh well it's all speculation. Last resort is that I wait for slowhax, downgrade my friends 3ds and then downgrade mine.

Have a good night/morning everyone :)

    @Xdqwerty No you heard wrong, and don't believe till you experience yourself. Fallout 4 is one of my favorite games of all time. Yes it had issues early on, esp with older hardware like the xbox1, but it is awesome, esp now being 4k on Series S/X or PS5

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, Then i think people were talking about fallout 76
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    that one was buggy too
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you right there, fallout 76 was a letdown, but it not that bad now, they have fixed slot of issues they had at launch. Biggest issue with Fallout 76 is its a pay to advance further type of game, which sucks
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, I may probably download fallout 3 or new vegas on my ps3
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    cuz I didnt like fallout 1 that much
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    New Vegas is awesome, F3 was ok too.

    Or worse, you downloading something, and someone calls your phone and interupts the download, good ole AOL. Of course that's before most you guys even were born yet.
