Sorry for posting new thread, need to resolve this ASAP
Basically the question is in the title. Can I update other people's consoles using Cooking Mama: Bon Appetit rom (contains 9.2E) on Gateclone (DSTWO, latest revision) using Download Play? I know that using ROMs from Gateway (in Gateway sysNAND mode) to update can brick the console, but what if I use this rom to transfer 9.2 update via Download Play to console that is in "clean" mode?

except someone has tried it, you probably won't get any definite answer. just setup cfw on that console, run it with firmlaunch disabled, and update it with sysupdater. i'd rather do thay than doing some risky experiment.
edit: misstype. thanks sypurith for the heads up

You should use sysupdator with firmlaunch disabled, or else it would brick it. So, that is "with firmlaunch disabled", or "without firmlaunch"..
I doubt if what the OP wants is, use this special game to update others' console sysNand to such a version.
However since there might be no browser.. But i would agree with you : only the one has tested it can report the result.

Yes, you can. I updated 2 consoles with this game using download play without problems.

It works if you boot the game with sky3ds on system nand
I know it does but thanks for information (although it's irrelevant...)

Make sure their browser version is 7 or greater before you do this.
Yes, that's the thing. This have been taken into account already.

Just to know, I've written the guide that includes, well, everything to install CFW (and upgrade to 9.2, hax 2.5 and autoboot) on Old/New 3DS without Gateway, Cubic Ninja, pre-made NAND, for people with 9.2- consoles and nothing else, and I included everything you need (without downloading anything extra) into two big packs (for Old and New models) but this guide is in Russian (and you already have one or two similar) and those packs are... quite illegal here. It includes sysUpdater but some people prefer safer methods of updating; that's why I need this info.

It's quite relevant when you can't use dlp with cia and if you run on anything with firm launch you run the risk of bricks.

So as you can see it was helpful since I offered a brick free solution

Why would you even need download play? Why not just put the game in the other person's 3DS and update from there? Or is this for people that have broken cartridge slots...?

Edit: Just read you meant rom. Well, same thing. Why not just install the rom on the other 3DS and do the thing with Gateway that lets you update with a rom (holding up?).

Okay, okay. That info is helpful but irrelevant because:
1. It was already included into this guide and
2.
if you run on anything with firm launch you run the risk of bricks.
That's what I asked about and
Why would you even need download play? Why not just put the game in the other person's 3DS and update from there? Or is this for people that have broken cartridge slots...?
because of that I'm asking about Download Play because technically, the console that uses dlp doesn't run firmlaunch. I just want to cover all the variants.

So thank you, that's helpful for someone but... not me ._.

I thought that I missed why this be a good idea. Unless you have a -0 browser it's better to use sys updater through rx dev mode

I am pretty sure Gateway already has this covered by having a special mode that allows you to update from roms. If they hadn't worked out the firmlaunch thing then there'd be a lot of angry Gateway customers with bricks. Still good for consoles that have broken cartridge slots though (this happened to the person in the thread "update 2.1.0-4E?")

maybe your not listening to me OP. When you run a game in firmlaunch it changes how the system loads the game. When hoasting the game it will send incorrect data to the recipient

Hold up while launching gw mode and it unlocks rom updates. This works on emu but not sys nand

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
