Hacking Just opened a brand new Japanese New 3DS LL and...

Well...if he was able to navigate to the system menu, he must've have not realize the notifications that were telling him to update, the bad part about buying a console that is not from your region.

But the question is. . .Why did they add a connection in the first place?

He had to manually do it, so I'm not sure who "they" are.

What? The OP. They as in the person who somehow knew the menus enough to add a network connection.

Already answered in the previous post, he would have to manually add it, as to why? Why not? He should've configured it to where it doesn't "automatically" update, which I believe is an option unless that changed with the N3DS.

Send it back, and keep the next one offline... genius.

>Configured to where it doesn't automatically update
It automatically downloads the update if you have a wifi connection and put it in sleep mode. You have to confirm by clicking update when the prompt appears. Where is this configuration (on the old one) because I want to see what you are thinking of.

Just checked, there were no settings. Oh well, better luck next time.

I've seen some others say that you used to be able to block updates in the parental controls, but that was taken out before 4,5. Maybe that's what you were thinking of.

I was thinking of repeating my steps by recreating emunand and go through the update process but I didn't want to take any chances.

Looks like you might be out of luck really. Gateway doesnt work on "new" 3DS models at all yet, and they might not ever.

Sky3DS will work, but its region locked. So you can play all the japanese 3DS games you want I suppose.

I was under the impression that gateway worked on New 3ds, that is why I setup a connection.

I actually bought the New 3ds and the New 3ds LL - I'll be using the the LL to play imports normally. I'll save the normal New 3ds until there's more progress made with gateway or another way to play region free.

As to how it happened; 3 year old and 8 year old distracted me.
