Hacking New update for 3DS EU doesn´t disable flashcarts.

Again, many websites have said it'll do "firmware updates". Either all those websites are wrong, or the Nintendo inofrmation you have is outdated. Either way, we can't tell until later.

can you update with games i dont like intinit

The ONLY WAY your 3DS can update is if you allow it to. You must go into System Settings MANUALLY and work from there.

They've no basis for the claim though.
All nintendo ever said was that it would "enable third parties to give more content to consumers, and surprising updates for their game" or something similar.

I'll test it on my 3DS when I get it, but I'm 100% certain it won't update while I'm asleep.

But didn't Bi99uy test out the EZVi on a updated 3DS and it still works?

Nintendo 3DS includes SpotPass™,a feature that lets Nintendo 3DS detect wireless hotspots or wireless LAN access points and obtain information, game data, free software, videos and so on for players even when the system is in sleep mode.*

"Game Data" and "free software" is DLC. Videos is obvious. So what is "information" and "so on" then, hmm?

In any case when a firmware update is done on a console you have to accept the EULA.
If you don't accept the EULA, the update won't happen.

I haven't found one that links to an official statement by Nintendo that says it will specifically update firmware automatically. It's always about content or software. Neither the Japanese nor English sites mention automatic firmware updates.

See my link http://gizbuy.com/2010/10/03/nintendo-3ds-...ing-and-cracks/ that I alread posted.
"The SpotPass on 3DS can seek out WiFi signal automatically and download firmware updates,"

There's more, but I'm not going browsing all around the itnernet during my break.

And if it said it could fire rainbow lasers into the sky without giving a source too, you would believe him ?

 

[Xuphor]

Yup, sure would, I'm just a stupid idiot apparently. Anyway, I'm done with this thread, don't say you weren't warned when SpotPass updates your firmware one day and cuts off your flashcarts.

For all I know it does automatically update firmware and fire rainbow lasers. But unfortunately I can't trust the link you posted or any other online because there is no concrete evidence (source) that Nintendo can and will update your firmware automatically, and no source for the "statement" Satoru Iwata made about it.

EDIT: according to this source I dug up, translated by this site,

[...]During a Q&A session at the briefing, an attendee asked if Nintendo would be implementing anti-piracy measures via the internet. Replied Iwata, "As part of the functionality of SpotPass, we're looking into having automatic system updates via the internet."[...]
QUOTE

[...]"Past firmware update methods have required that the player manually initiate the update. In Nintendo's experience, said Iwata, players did not do this very much."[...]

I can't check myself as I'm at school but I'll be sure to check when I get home.

Yupp, and as i said, it still works without a hitch.

Regarding the whole automagically update thingy, that seems pretty risky and stupid from Nintendos side. The whole thing was said the same when the Wii was released, etc. Flashing the NAND without any input from the user would just be asking for trouble on so many levels.

And how i got the system early? It's pretty easy when you have friends in the industry.

Agreed. Without EULA, when a firmware update is done, a company takes too much risk. I doubt big N will do such thing.


For the rest, i just wish to remind some dates :

Europe – March 25

in a couple of hours we are the 25th

I think it'd be wiser to wait until after the May update before using flashcarts, since it's gonna be a worldwide one. Maybe they're keeping the blocks/bricks for this update. If after that the flashcarts still work, then it's safe to assume nothing will be bricked.

why wait? we have a temper here (Bi99uy) has tested out a flashcard on the 3DS with newest firmware update, and no problems has occurred

Given the recent rash of "flash carts WILL brick your 3DS111!!!" news posts, we've learned not to listen to most sites until we test things for ourself, or they have an actual source that's not fear-mongering (like Nintendo is now).

Yeah I know that, and it makes me even more anxious get the console!! But what if this May update includes a strong AP measure or even this brick people are talking about? I think I wouldn't risk having my 3DS bricked because I couldn't wait a few months!

Anyways, I know it's gonna be difficult for me to do this, 'cause yesterday I had my DSi stolen! I had it for just 4 months...

 

[SpaceJump]

Bi99uy, did you use the EZIVi before the update too or just after?

There's no reason it has to be an update that bricks. Normal operating could still brick if it was going to do it on purpose.
