Hacking Updating new japanese 3ds to 9.2

[theinternetnomad]

Hi, my friend just bought the monster hunter 4 ultimate new 3ds LL/XL bundle which I believe ships with 8.x, I don't have any japanese games so I don't know how I should proceed in getting the system to 9.2. Can I run safesysupdater and "downgrade" to 9.2 from 8.x? can I even run the homebrewlauncher through oot or the web exploit on firmwares prior to 9.2? I realize I also need to remove certain files from the 9.2 updates folder as well as it is a japanese 3ds.


help would be appreciated


Thanks!

hmm, looking at it looks like I need cubic ninja which is expensive, would i need the japanese version? could i just use oothax instead, or should i just opt for a japanese 3ds game that has 9.2 on it? does smash? i might just buy the japanese game as it's easier.

You would need the physical Japanese version of any game you decide to get, whether it be Cubic Ninja, Smash, or OoT.

Not sure if 8.1-0J is in the scope of that guide. You can't get into homebrew on that firmware and lack of a browser prevents things like rxTools. One (expensive) solution is to buy a Gateway cartridge and a means to get into it (OoT and PowerSaves or Cubic Ninja for example). You can then use Gateway 4.0b version (any lower version will brick you) and installed sysupdater to update to 9.0-20J. I think it is possible to do it with network trickery also, but would be a complicated, difficult method.

Edit: I just had an actual look at the page, and it DOES have a way to do it! And doesn't look too hard, to boot! Plailect is very impressive.

Dont you need browser to load ninjahax? or can it be used to install menuhax without browser? 8.1 doesnt have browser...

According to the 9.2.0 update guide, this works for 8.1-0J.

That's only for Ninjhax to load the homebrew menu. There are other different sorts of Ninjhaxes, like this one or the one to get OTP from 1.0.0-0.

Put Japanese Ocarina of Time onto Sky3DS and use your US 3DS to run the oot3dhax installer via homebrew launcher.

sounds like it might work out. rememeber i still wont have browser so things might get weird i think. really want this 200 dollar paperweight to get back to playing more than keroro RPG and pokemon.

 

[theinternetnomad]

so, I think I will go the cart update route. does anyone know what japanese games have 9.2 on them? I'm hoping smash perhaps.

There are no Japanese cartridges that have 9.0, 9.1 or 9.2. Only the U.S. and Europe do.

A better option is what I suggested earlier - use the launcher.dat from Gateway 4.0b, install sysupdater in Gateway mode and update to 9.0-20J that way (make sure to use the correct update files).

Thank you, looks like I have to get a gateway card!

Put Japanese Ocarina of Time onto Sky3DS and use your US 3DS to run the oot3dhax installer via homebrew launcher.

The oot3dhax sploit installer DOES NOT work on 11.0. The installer has not been updated for 11.0 so this method WILL NOT work.

Strange, since I know that the exploit itself works on 11.0.

Anyway, you could also flash the Japanese version of Cubic Ninja for the equivalent.

Yes, the exploit does work. It's the installer that doesn't.

actually, instead of gateway, can't I just get any japanese game that updates to 9.3 or higher then downgrade to 9.2 using the web browser exploit?
