Where did you purchase yours from? store or online? Thanks. No good anyway 9.4! sorry.

Anyone know where to purchase one below 9.4 in a shop in the uk?


I got it from Tesco Direct collect in-store, ordered Friday, got it today and returned it after shopping after confirming firmware.

Other than requesting a serial # and hoping that unit is actually shipped, how can I get a 9.2 new3DS (non-XL/LL)?

Is it better or easier to get a UK/EU/AU new3DS (non-XL/LL) or a JP new3DS (non-XL/LL) with 9.2?

It's best to go into an actual store and ask to look for a serial in the known good range.

Thank you for replying, however please look at my post and profile. Unfortunately for me, your reply isn't helpful.


If the kind you want is not available in your region, another option is to contact individual sellers (e.g. amazon/ebay) and ask for the serial of a new console.

Thank you for both your useless replies.
From my perspective, your contribution to this thread is what's useless. This thread exists to help you solve your own problem, and instead you want someone to hold your hand and tell you there exists magic goggles that let you identify 9.0-9.2 units with 100% certainty, while not even being in the same country with them, no less.

There aren't any, and the answer to your question is "There is no other method." You will have to do the same thing regardless of which region you choose, and you run the risk of getting 9.4+ in either scenario.

i just went and bought all the new3ds xl's from walmart looking for a 9.2 or lower.
BLACK serial number QW40211XXXX are all 9.4 i thought they were safe because
QW4021 (Black) is in the confirmed 9.0 section
RED Serial numbers QW10315XXXX QW10183XXXX QW10311XXXX are all on 9.0

    I just recently picked up a n64 from a garage sell, and looking to mod it and add a HDMI port to it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3548173115...044&customid=4f3038da73b61afddf7e5e90f4153856
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'd like to find a power strip and HDMI selector built in 1 unit, so I can select which game system I want, and will switch to that hdmi, and power on that plug/power supply only, so don't have all game systems powered all the time, but can't find anything like. May just have to make something myself.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Maybe start a kick starter page and sell them, yea right. Big N would prob C&D me, not anything Big N related, but just because that's what they do nowdays. Then come out with they own in a year or so.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nice. Which operating system are you installing?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, windows 10 and some linux distro like linux mint
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    dualbooth
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Yeah, I'd recommend having another OS just in-case you want to play games.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least Linux doesn't contain spyware than what Windows has.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, cuz of lag?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No. Whenever you use the internet on Windows, Microsoft collects personal data and installs bloatware that isn't necessarily needed, such as Edge.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Speaking of which
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ,
    I recall @impeeza mentioned some trick about not having bloatware when installing windows where you set up your country to "world" or smh like that

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Yes, you can debloat the operating system, but in some cases for me it just reinstalls them.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ,
    I also recall my brother downloded a "non bloated" version of windows 11 on his pc

  • impeeza @ impeeza:
    @Xdqwerty yes, when you are installing Windows on the first steps you are asked for your current location, you MUST to select «international» so no bloatware is installed, because the bloatware is location based. if this night I have some time I will setup a VM and take screenshots.
