Agreed. I'm on 6.2E, and even though v7.0/7.1 looks very tempting to upgrade to, I'm going to wait as long as it takes Gateway, or any other card to fix their 6.x support.Wait, because 7.1 blocks something involving our current exploit even more. Don't go past where you're at, and if you wanna keep playing new 3DS games, buy another 3DS. Or sell that one and get a 4.X one.
Correct me if I'm wrong here.
3DBrew said:he following was fixed with 7.0.0-13, see here for details. Too long or corrupted strings (01Ah 2 Nickname length in characters 050h 2 Message length in characters) in the NVRAM DS user settings cause (System Settings->Other Settings->Profile->Nintendo DS Profile) to crash in 3DS-mode due to a stack-smash. The DSi is not vulnerable to this, DSi launcher(menu) and DSi System Settings will reset the NVRAM user-settings if the length field values are too long(same result as when the CRCs are invalid).
Actually, in the early days of the PS3 scene, 3.41 or lower was the software version that you needed, and this remained the same for a looooooong time until someone dumped the master decryption keys for the 3.55 OS. Today, there is a way to downgrade your PS3 to the 3.55 firmware needed to run any exploits, but it's as simple as popping a USB stick in your PS3 and installing a lower firmware version. The 3DS is radically different, and might actually require a hardware solution (soldering some wires) to exploit a vulnerability to run custom code on software versions higher than 4.5.you might be waiting until the 4ds comes out, good luck. I could be wrong but it might be like 3.55 on ps3

False. There is absolutely no kernel access past 3.55, due to no exploit existing. Sony learnt well and radically changed up the key storage behavior. And thus there is no way to get the PS3 to accept a lower version firmware update through USB. The only way known right now is with a hardware solution, and it's risky. Sony has done amazingly at securing their system as of late.
I think he might be confused. Flashing back to 3.55 requires specialized hardware, and a PS3 old enough to originally have 3.55 or earlier installed on it. Installing a CFW is as simple as popping a USB stick into a <3.55 PS3.Where's your proof?
Just find and buy a 4.5.0 or older 3DS while you still can, it'll be more effective than waiting around for a new exploit.
