The Supercard team have been very quick at releasing the DSTWO updates, so no need to worry.

What's the version number?

 

[Janthran]

So you think everyone on GBAtemp can tell the future?

There should be a DSTwo update within a day or two. Also, with the DSTwo you can update the firmware even if you have already updated your DSi/3DS as long as you can get to the "an error has occurred" screen (they added such a method somewhere around 1.10 or 1.12.

The most safe rule still is: If you dont have a DS, do not update your 3DS / DSi before the Supercard team release the update.

The new firmware is being released on the 25th, which is Wednesday.

why are people so compelled to update things? the only time I ever update is if I'm having a compatibility issue or error that needs to be fixed. it's better not to mess with something that's running perfectly. my old acekard is still danny phantom and works perfectly on the system. There's nothing I can do to make it work with my 3DS because I have hardware 44, but if I did then that would be reason enough to update.

Probably because the 3DS' updates, for the most part have added some pretty decent new features to the console.

and nintendo probably force update if you want to access e-shop

the e shop is overrated... I can emulate all the virtual console releases with the help of a flash cart and I don't need to buy them AGAIN. And from my experience, the DSiware for the most part is pretty mediocre. There's a few good games but I haven't gotten on the eshop in awhile because there isn't much there.

 

[Janthran]

The latest update works fine.

I know I'm a bit late, but that makes no sense at all. This is the issue I am having, it says you can update it on a 3DS that isn't on the current version and that it should let you know there is an update available, but I see no such thing. It works on the old 3DS(relative's who is on an older firmware) and mine continues to get the error. Upset I got rid of my old DS because I thought I had everything settled before I got rid of it. :\

The "few good games" are worth updating to access the eShop.
And don't forget the 3DSware and downloading retail titles.
Yup. Definitely not worth it.

He's talking about an alternate method to update the firmware.

Spoiler: How to update your DSTWO's firmware on a 3DS

Good news for those of you who accidentally updated before updating your DSTwo, it is possible to update from your 3DS, however this method is risky, and not recommended if you can use the normal method in the above spoiler.

In order for this method to work, your 3DS must already recognize the DSTwo and show this icon (if it doesn't show up you're gonna have to use the normal upgrade method in the above spoiler).

1. Download firmware 1.15.

2. Extract "dstwoupdate.dat" to the root of your microsd card and rename it to "dstwoupdateb.dat".

3. Put your microsd card into your DSTwo and insert it into your 3DS.

4. Turn on the 3DS and launch the DSTwo, you will see this screen.

Stay on this screen, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING, and just wait and wait for 3 minutes, IF YOU TOUCH ANYTHING YOU MAY BRICK YOUR DSTWO.

5. After the 3 minutes is up, turn off the 3DS, then put the microsd card back into your computer and delete "dstwoupdateb.dat".

6. You can now put your microsd card back into your DSTwo, and back into your 3DS, and now your DSTwo should be on firmware 1.15, and it should work normally on your 3DS on the latest firmware.

Ah ok, thanks. It just seemed really weird how he worded it. I'll actually try this method out real soon. ;D
