Hacking Update to newest firmware or stay on 9.9

[MalayZN]

Hello Everyone,
So i have an old 3ds on 9.2 and a new 3ds on 9.9
i'm debating if i should stay on 9.9 or update to 10.1 on my new 3ds
so i can have acccess to update for games and estore etc
any disadvantage from updating?

If you only want to update because you want to access the eshop, DO NOT UPDATE!

You can use HANS, an application that comes with the new Ninjahax 2.5, this application allows you to access the eshop and download game updates without having to update.

will quote myself:

replace the firmware numbers with the recent ones
for example 9.4 -> 10.1 9.2 -> 9.9 etc...

since you have 2 consoles, depends.. do you really want hax and don't mind wait months and hope something will happear... otherwise use the new one for legit and eshop stuff, while the old one is used for roms and not legit stuff

Now that we can use eshop on 9.9 with ninjhax 2.5, there is no reason to update anymore, at least for now.

Yeah, keep in 9.9 and setup Themehax 2.0
