I don't really feel like there is anything to lose here, but I agree that OP should post instructions in this thread.
I figured it was so he could help ensure people who aren't that competent with this stuff wouldn't try it. Either way, lacking information is never good. Main thing I'd want to see is if it's actually a complete upgrade or not, that if it actually boots newer games without anything extra.Exactly. There is no telling what this guy is asking people to do in a PM, not to mention that most people with a downgraded N3DS are new users who are likely to make mistakes. Plus, why is he asking people to PM him rather than posting in the thread for all to see. All of these things worry me and are why I cautioned against doing it without a hardmod.
Pretty sure that's something similar to people downgrading and showing 9.2 while actually not successfully downgraded. You probably created some kind of Frankenfirm that shows 10.3 while actually not being 10.3 so unless you have current >9.5 games running without firmware spoof, I don't really believe you achieved anything noteworthy.
Yeah, I suggest the same.
My first thought was that he might have updated certain titles only and not a full FW update.
Best bet would be that he posts the steps here so that experienced users can give their feedback.
Until he proves that he can run games without spoof AND enter eShop w/o spoof too, I say dont risk it.

Noobs gonna noobinb4 "just updating CVer"
How about you actually post what you did to get there.Alright currently getting video of running triforce Heroes which required the 9.9 firm
lol, who needs 9.9 to run Triforce Heroes ?Alright currently getting video of running triforce Heroes which required the 9.9 firm
Oh cool!Alright currently getting video of running triforce Heroes which required the 9.9 firm
The cart does.lol, who needs 9.9 to run Triforce Heroes ?

It can be bypassed easily.The cart does.
inb4 using cryptofixed .3DS with Sky3DS.inb4 its a cia.
*facepalm* not you too. .3ds doesnt need cryptofix you goofIt can be bypassed easily.

oh well, maybe, I don't know how it works for the N3DS. I don't have one. But anyway, the required firmware could be edited, and ran with a Sky3DS with signpatch.*facepalm* not you too. .3ds doesnt need cryptofix you goof

Not so much. You can bypass the update check with NTR, but it still hangs on the 3DS logo unless you use gateway.

Sky3DS+, you know.I actually personally tried it with my retail copy of TFH the other day. Booted rxTools, popped the cart in and got a "you must update" message. Same thing running FMP. Loaded up NTR and the update message went away but it hung on the 3ds logo so.
But yeah, he could easily have a patched rom in a sky3ds cart. Except tfh has the new ap check so idk.
Its not an encryption. Its literally a few bytes in the exheader that check the installed kernel version. GW somehow spoofs this automatically. Likely by spoofing the installed version.AFAIK the only way to bypass the cart encryptation is with Gateway mode.
Is there a way to repack/spoof a 3DS file?
I can run Triforce Heroes on 9.5 too so... I remain skeptical in this scenario even if I have a N3DS.
Sky3DS+, you know.
