Forgive me if not in correct thread.....
Recently acquired these two systems and looks like I've lucked out with the current FW installed. Browsing 3dsguides I can use the Homebrew Launcher (Soundhax) method for both.
I saw this message: Note that Cart Updates will only deliver updates to core features, such as the System Settings, Home Menu, etc. Cart Updates will not deliver updates to Nintendo 3DS Sound and Network features, such as System Transfer, Internet Browser, StreetPass Mii Plaza, or eShop.
This means that using a Cart Update from a version containing an older Nintendo 3DS Sound version (<3.0.0) to one that introduced a newer Nintendo 3DS Sound version will break Soundhax! You will need an alternate method of entering the Homebrew Launcher!
****Not sure I fully understand the above statement. Is there a way to find out what 3DS sound version is installed?
Also, the N3DSXL was formatted but the 3DS has not(NNID attached). When I try to format it asks to connect to the internet. Is this safe to do and will it keep me at the current version once formatted?
I'll be attempting this very soon.
Thanks!
****edit: I am thinking about purchasing a 2DS for my kid. It looks like I could use the 3DS as the source to the old 2DS (if it's on 11.6). OR - I wouldn't mind purchasing a flashcart for this device and save the hassle. What are the chances if I bought a 2DS new-online that it would not have 11.6 (thinking of 2DS w/MK7)
