My sister got a used 3DS XL and we were wanting to play Animal crossing together, but I only have one cartridge. Is there a way to exploit the eshop/get free games on the latest firmware? I am not an advocate for piracy, (I rarely ever pirate games) but my sister really wants animal crossing. And yes, I am familiar with homebrew and I have been into the 3ds hacking scene since like late 2014, I just haven't messed with 3ds hacking in about a year and I am not sure what is possible currently.

What is the system software version of the 3DS? I know you said the latest firmware, but I want to be sure.

I am certain it is the latest firmware version, she updated it without even telling me yesterday, and right now she is playing Tomodachi Life, and I have a hell of a time prying that 3ds from her at the moment.

Did she update through the internet or through a game cartridge? Check the System Settings for the version number, just to be sure.

If she updated yesterday, its on 11.xx. you would need a hardmod to downgrade, cheaper to buy the game.

Install CFW (which is only possible on 9.2 and lower, but you can downgrade to those firmwares if you're on 10.7 or lower) and download AC:NL as a .cia from that iso site or use the freeshop.

OP could also just install the Animal Crossing legit CIA without even having to downgrade on 10.7 or lower.

I wonder why though, cubic ninja works on 11.0

You need a way to install legitimate CIA files, whether they're Animal Crossing: New Leaf and/or downgrade files. Merely being able to run a homebrew exploit like Ninjhax isn't enough. Currently, one can only install legitimate CIA files on 10.7 or lower.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
