Any word on if it's safe to update my EmuNAND to 10.5?

Backup your emuNAND, update, and report back. It should work, no major changes were made.

Yeah it works fine.

 

[Ninoh-FOX]

Emunand 10.5 XD Nintendo WARS!!!

This works fine (cakes 125, firm 10.4, emunand 10.5, n3ds)

 

[opmas]

Its working! Just updated my brother's O3ds to 10.5!

 

[Urbanshadow]

What firmware.bin version should I be using for 10.5 O3ds? 10.2 or 9.6?

This ain't reiNAND dude, CakesFW has been using 10.2 since it added 9.6+ emuNAND support.

ReiNAND initially used 9.6, but it's now using 10.2 too.

Not to mention nightlies can use 10.4 now too

Nope, official reinand uses 10.2 now and the mod version by Aurora Wright uses 10.4.
And Cakes uses, well... whatever firmware version you want really.

I don't think I have updated this o3ds firmware.bin since last september and it's running 10.3 fine. Just asking.

There's no 10.2 firmware support for o3ds, just saying. Either 9.6 or 10.4 will do fine. I myself use 9.6.
Here's the list of supported firmwares: https://github.com/mid-kid/CakesForeveryWan/blob/master/source/firm.c#L29 (note not all cakes support all these firmwares. For example 9.0 N3DS has no emuNAND)

I think I have 9.6 right now, but I haven't checked. I'll stay here and will update it later on. Thanks.

A lot has happend till the last time I looked up here
Great things are going on.

The firmware thing is the most confusing part on all CFW for me, since >=9.6.
I have not touched my N3DS setup since November I think.

Now there are different kind of firmwares for O3DS and N3DS and for different kind of NATIVE_FIRM that are supported.
Think I will stay at CakeFW <=100 and rxTools October 2nd release

It's not particularly complicated. Use the latest release, add the slot0x11keyx96.bin to the root of your SD card, download the N3DS firmware and cetk files linked in the OP, and you can carry on using Cakes as normal, except now able to update your emuNAND to 10.5.

 

[temper999]

I know, thx

But somehow I am trying to unterstand why I have to put those files there
Cakes uses encryped firmware and decrypts them, ReiNAND uses only decryped firmwares.
rxTools actually some way off.

After 2-3 months of abstinence it needs some time to read all the infos
Everything's fine

 

[memomo]

I have a 2ds in 8.1

how can I downgrad MEST 6.X ? is there any tutorial

 

[DjoeN]

Just a reminder for all those who like to upgrade to 10.5.

Always make an EMUNAND BACKUP! ALWAYS!!
- Use EmuNANDTool (Windows) or Decrypt9 (3DS Homebrew) or EmuNAND9 (3DS Homebrew)

If you upgrade or not, it doesn't hurt to make an emunand on a regular base (every 14 days or every month)

Good advice in general, but not really needed for this update as basically nothing changed.

Can't seem to find a working firmware.bin for N3ds 10.5E, they all just black screen after I apply disable security checks, enable cfwnand and press load cfw, or tell me they are not comparable. Can anyone give me a md5 number of a working one or the file name if garbed by nus?
