Sorry for late response, but I was away for a while. This guide is no longer relevant with the newer versions of the FW and the fact that games started to require certain FW to work. If there is admin or moderator reading this, please lock the thread. I suggest not deleting it, because we may need it again for something, if wte find newer method. Thanks to everybody who devoted some time on this thread, even if it wasn't actual anymore.

Okay, I've decided to create this guide for the people who want to updste their games, but not the consoles.
The guide is for people who find too hard to deal with the dns settings. I've made it for few friends of mine, who aren't good with hardware and software terminology and stuff and decided to post it also here.
This guide is oriented for the single palyer games at this point, because there aren't lots of multiplayer games for now. Also, the guide is for wifi connections, I don't have a lan adapter to experiment with, but if somebody got one and know how to make the trick- don't wait, post it here

1. You must have a wireless conection which have already used once with the device.
2. Go to the System settings>Internet>Internet settings
3. When it load the list, it will separate it. In the part with "Registered Networks" you should find and choose your network.
4. On the menu that will appear choose "Change Settings"
5. At the bottom you will see an option called "Connect Automatically". Switch it to off
6. If you were connected to the network and have the device update downloaded on the console, but not installed, you can do a total shutdown on the console (hold the power button, choose " Power Options" and then Power Off. This will delete the device update file and wouldn't be prompted to update until the next time the update is downloaded. If you weren't connected to the network and don't have the device update prepared.
7. Start the console, without connecting it to the network, and press the minus button while you are on the tab of the game you want to update.
8. On the menu that appeared, there's a tab named "Software Update" an in it option "Via the internet" that you should choose.
9. Choose your network when the list is loaded.
10. It will start to download your game update. When finished and the game is ready, repeat step 6 before anything else, just to assure yourself that there's no update on the system and you have no longer connection trough which it could be downloaded.

Sorry if there are any mistakes, I'm writing this from my phone due to the fact I'm so sick, I can't even go to my pc...
I hope it will help somebody.

That is not working for me, the nag goes away when I enter maintenance mode out of CFW in AutoRCM since I can't do it otherwise as I had to downgrade but every time I try to update a game even manually even blocking the DNS I get the system update notification without any other choice.

You can acquire updates from certain websites that shall not be named and install them with any title installer.

Any way you can post here any suggestions for getting updates? like any web sites you know they work? or any chance you can private message me? Thanks!

No, that would be against gbatemps rules, even though PM. It should be easy enough to find what sites to use elsewhere
