As 3DS and 3DS XL are no longer produced, if you find a new one, I'm pretty sure it will be on less than 9.2.
As for the 2DS, all bundles until now will probably be on less than 9.2, but I think the Yo-Kai Watch one will be on 9.9 or more.

It will *probably* be on 9.2 or lower, since afaik there hasn't been any restocks in a while. I'm really not sure though, but since it's only sold in bundles now (at least here in Europe), they probably aren't producing the standalone ones (so exploitable firmware).
I know, but what I meant is that even they are no longer produced, there isn't a lot of demand, so it's still really easy to obtain
The "old" ones only. When I got my ambassador edition, it was on 9.0 (and I updated it, I didn't know about CFW and stuff like that at the time, I want to punch my old self so badly) , and approximatively anyone that has been produced before april should be fine... But since it's a little hard to find right now, you can most likely find it either on small / not specialised shops that doesn't sell much consoles, or on the Amazon Marketplace / eBay.
Thanks! All types of N3DSes and 2DSes are found here (at an EU store), so what is my best bet to get <9.3? Is it safe to go for an N3DS or should I go with a 2DS?I know, but what I meant is that even they are no longer produced, there isn't a lot of demand, so it's still really easy to obtain

If you buy a 2DS, I'm practically sure you're safe.
For the N3DS, it's a bit more risky. If it's a nice and friendly store, you can ask them to see the firmware version (you can do that for the 2DS btw, just to be sure, we never know
) by using the "I want to use the kernel exploit to run my emulators properly" excuse, if they ask you why.In any case, since you're in the UE, you should be able to get a refund if you return the console within 14 days (if it doesn't have any visible signs of use, of course), so if you *really* take care of it while checking the FW version, that shouldn't really be a problem =)

But they don't let me open the packages and returns are a bit difficult ...
Oh, that's a problem...Lol, they don't even know about the exploit here!
If the place you want to buy the console from has an online website, buy it here, since all purchases made by Internet can be returned (no exceptions) within 14 days, because some European Union Law said so
If you can just buy it in store, I would personally go for the 2DS, or try to find an N3DS online.
Actually, I just had the idea, but you can also ask them for the serial (on the side of the box) and search what firmware version the 3DS comes with =)
Old 3DS/3DS XL models (as long as they are sealed and not opened) are guaranteed to be on firmware 9.2 or lower. The one I purchased recently actually had V2 of the firmware :-)
New 3DS/XL models however is a bit of a gamble. There are stores here in the UK which sell unboxed versions and I guess you can try out the device before purchasing to make sure

Can cfw be used out of the box on 8.1? Or would I have to get a game to update to a better firmware or something?

Would love to, but AFAIK there is no SN numbers guide for small N3DSes here.

So is it random whether it ships with a browser or not?
So you still aren't really safe buying one like that. Because afaik there isnt a way to give it a browser. You'd update with a game card but it doesnt update the browser. How would you do it then? What would be the point of buying a 8.1 2DS if it doesn't have the browser?

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:
@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:
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:
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

@
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 -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files
) -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying+1 -
