Out of curiosity I found some of the game patches online ( like update 1.2 for Pokemon ) is there anyway to install this patch without using e-shop ? if so people could install the patches even on 7.2.0. if they want to play online.
 
Pokemon Y updated my 2DS from 6.0U to 6.1U, and I'm staying there since Gateway is progressing so amazingly. I'm hoping 6.x firmware gets supported within the next year. I don't have any use for eShop, since I prefer retail physical carts over e-purchasing. Those have no trade-in value.
 
Yes 80 dollars for a device that let's u play every 3ds game out right now and 3ds games on average cost about 40 dollars so the gateway pays for itself for 2 3ds games yeah expensive *sarcasm*

More like 3-4 3DS games, depending on what SD card you buy. Have to remember that's part of the cost as well.

CJL18: ok so you've convinced me! I really just didn't feel it'd be worth 71.50 for a flash cart because it seemed like they were still having problems with it and i didn't want an incompatible cart for my firmware version but I think i can swing it since it will save me more money in the long run. Especially since like you said the price for a retail game is more than double for 2 vs. paying the price for two games and an sd card. It is cheaper for me to do that than to continue with my expensive hobby like i have been and use up my only source of income on games. I heard it supports multi rom now...how many can you get on a 32gb card?
 
There is, if you have a hardware NAND access mod. Someone in another thread updated his retail NAND to 7.2.0-17, downloaded said updates from the e-shop, then downgraded via the hardware mod.

Was in reply to this question....

But still the people with NAND access is probably the very lower minority, of either people who got bricked and got it installed along with the unbricking, or people who can do it themselves, it's probably best not to start the whole "so where is the NAND access mod app to install these updates" :p
 
gamesquest1 I realize it was an answer to his question. I also realize not many have the mod done. I was just saying that there is a possible way albeit not very practical/useful to the average end user.

It depends on what games on average a 3ds rom is about 500mb to 2gb with some as high as 4gb I have a 16 GB card and I can fit about 15 so with a 32 u would be able to fit about 20-25 easy
 
Good day, ladies and gentlemen. Question here please.

I have a R4HDSC for the 3DS (the uhh flashcart to use so I can play NDS games). With this update, 7.2, I'm having doubts if I should update my 3DS or not or I'm having the risk of my R4HDSC not working if I update. My current firmware version is 7.1 I believe. So a little help here please.

If I update my firmware to the latest (7.2), will my R4HDSC still work for my 3DS (actually 2DS). Please help me out.

What's the website on the cart?

Scroll down to the NAND pinout section. CLK point is easiest to access from the other side of the board from the rest of the points as well. Else, you need to remove your game cart slot to access it.

Uhm, anyone? Please? :(

Go to the website on the card and see if they say anything about it. If they don't say anything then don't update.
Although IIRC 7.2 didn't update the whitelist. Don't trust me on that though.
 
I don't care what anyone says, I'm not updating my 3DS.

Which is actually OK because until there's a 7.1 Gateway all I'll use it for is animal crossing. (new leaf, not wild world)

you do realize the update came out 1 month ago?
