Hacking Nintendo 3DS XL Luigi Special Edition - Firmware ?

[tairo]

As per title anyone know what firmware this ships with ?

Any 3DS made after March 2013 will have 5.0 or higher firmware, and be incompatible with all flashcarts.
The Luigi 3DS XL came out in November 2013, I believe, so it will surely have something above 5.0 on it.

If you're hellbent on having a special edition, you could always do a mainboard swap if your comfortable with it. You can find some 4.5 FW mainboards on ebay if you look every so often.
