It's technically possible to update the DS2 even on 3DS2.0 However it's somewhat risky and not recommended. Since your 3DS is on 1.0 you should stay there for now if possible, update the DS2 once you get it, then upgrade to 3DS 2.0.

uhm... it's not that I want to make you cry but...
My DSTWO didn't work on the original firmware of the 3DS.
So I HAD to use my DSi to upgrade it. Then I put it into my 3DS and well... it worked, and I could upgrade it to 2.0. ^^

So I wonder how you guys updated your DSTWO's on your 3DS system... xD

Well in the worst case you'll have to borrow an older system from a friend for a few minutes, but I'm not so sure about the new firmware for the DSi and the original DSTWO either. ^^"

I have kept my DSL for any case. Even got a non updated DSi and my updated DSi XL...
So well... if it won't work find someone with a DSL best x)

Odd I thought the SDSC2 worked out of the box on the 3DS? Could be wrong. Either way he can upgrade on 2.0 via the other method, which is slightly scarier but still officially sanctioned.

New DSTWOs should work out of the box at least on 3DS v1, especially if the 3DS capability was advertised by the seller. Perhaps Kuschel-Drow's DSTWO was not as new?

It depends on the seller, some sellers flash the cards before shipping them, others don't.

Depends on what card you will get ,Some resellers have already started selling the pre flashed card, if you get one of them , you dont need to update your card ,just update your 3DS to 2.1.0-3 and then use the DSTwo . if you get the old card , then you need to update the DSTwo first and remember do not update your 3DS before you update your card !
