    PLEASE STOP ASK IF THIS METHOD WORKS ON X.X, CURRENTLY IT IS ONLY AVAILABLE BETWEEN 9.0 AND 9.2 (lower firmwares may be supported one day, but, without a new kernel exploit, there is no chances for 9.3+)


    NEW 3DS METHOD

    Its's very simple.
    Launch NTR CFW on a New 3DS.
    Enable the debugger.
    Connect the debugger with the command : connect('your3dsip', 8000)
    And now the magic command UPDATED (may not work on 8.1J) : write(0x10DD28, (0x00, 0x20, 0x08, 0x60, 0x70, 0x47), pid=0x25)
    Done !

    OLD 3DS METHOD

    Download the code.bin
    Copy it to the root of your SD card
    Launch the web browser
    Clear cookies and history
    Go to loadcode.projectpokemon.org
    Wait for the load bar and the message "failed to load" to disappear
    Press Home
    Done !

    Do you want emuNAND support?
    Of course... never.
    We have two possibilities for emuNAND support :
    -Gateway add support for patching NIM directly in their firmware
    -You swap tickets, and install with a CIA.

    Credits to yifanlu for the offset and the nop slide.

    LIMITATIONS :

    It's now stable.
    Set your internet connection BEFORE and make sure it's valid.
    Access the service you want after you see "finish" in the debugger.
    Tested with :
    -eShop
    -eShop in games (update of Mii Plaza, DLCs, etc.)
    -System Transfer (but the source and the target need to have a firmware in the compatiblity list) ---> a whole system transfer has been tested and it work!
    -Theme Shop

    TROUBLESHOOTING :

    Question : The browser method doesn't work. What can I do?
    Answer : Install the right version of the browser (see below).

    Question : When I select my target 3DS in the System Transfer, it fails! What can I do?
    Answer : Install the right version of CARDBROAD on BOTH 3DS (see below).

    Compatibility list :
    Warning: Spoilers inside!

    Browser versions :

    CARDBROAD versions :

    >support of 9.6 emuNAND will probably never happen on New 3DS.

    Here we go again.

    Wrong! rxTools already has emunand working for 9.6 and soon will have homebrew CIA support (with some checks to prevent piracy). Gateway is just slow on old 3DS 9.6 support. They need to give up on trying to get 9.6 working on both n3DS and 3DS at the same time and just get old 3DS support working while they still work on n3DS. But that's off topic here so that's the last I'll mention of that. :P

    I know, I'm just talking from a gateway owner's perspective. By the time they release 9.6 for any console, we'll probably be well into the 10s.

    If this worked, it would be trivial to setup a server that simply reflects the sender's titlehash.

    But I'm fairly certain there is another function that needs to be patched.

    Thanks for the feedback.
    It's probably a wrong offset. Please dump your NIM process with the following command : data(0x00000000, 0x200000, filename='NIM.bin', pid=your NIM pid), then PM me the NIM.bin that will be created on the SD.

    As the server, you can't know the target title hash. So, when patching the URL, you would have to send the title hash via GET to the server, so it can craft a response.

    That's probably the simplest, right. For some reason I thought it was sent in the first request.

    But couldn't you still just do...

    Update Check ---> Server responds with invalid title hash
    Version compare --> Server responds with title hash matching requester's CVer

    Assuming the server has a list of title hashes for all the possible requesting versions, which is very limited -- E/U 9.0, 9.2 (cart), 9.2 (web); J 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2.

    Anyways I can check when my sd card reader gets here.

    Which is what everyone says until gateway releases an actual update.

    Examples :

    Gateway 9.2 will never happen!!
    N3DS update will never happen!!
    9.5 emuNAND on N3DS will never happen!!


    Can we just stop with the conspiracy theories and wait ?

    No, because 9.0.0-5 is not the same as 9.0.0-6 (if we think about O3DS support). The server doesn't know CVer too, it just know your deviceID, your region and your country.
    And we don't know title hash of any update that was not on nintendo servers (New 8.1, for example).
    My wish would be a CIA homebrew that compute your local title hash and patch NIM with in the URL your local title hash via GET.
    The end user would just have to install the homebrew, launch it and enjoy.

    Guys, GW are playing the wait, you should have learnt it...
    The more they wait for the release of their new exploit, the more it'll still be available in the next FW released by the Big N. It's just so easy to understand.

    They are speaking about O3DS 9.6 emuNAND support, that is already achieved by others...
    Anyway, it's off-topic

    yeah, Off topic, you're right.
    Let's hope you'll get something for N3DS with your idea, man. Good luck.

    Does someone know how to compute title hash?
    Please, we are very near...
    IT'S THE LAST THING WE NEED TO ACHIEVE eShop SPOOF!

    You have to remember that the same thing was done during the ps3 days when cfw wasn't updated as quickly as it is now. Sony had the proxy blocked within a day of a new firmware release.

    I know that people HAVE patched NIM to make the eShop work on older firmwares, it's just that no one has made the method public.

    But, in theory, this really should be possible! People have done it. I'm not sure if NTR was used specifically, but I don't see why it couldn't be.

    The concept isn't to proxy the shop, but to make the system think it's updated so it will access it.
    ...at least, if I understand their means correctly.

    Relevant: http://3dbrew.org/wiki/EShop

    So, the function that needs to be patched isn't necessarily NetUpdateSOAP, but CheckSysupdateAvailableSOAP.

    (Or maybe they're the same thing. Or maybe they both need to be patched. I don't actually know; just thought it was worth mentioning)
