Hacking Where to get a firmware 4.5 or below 3DS XL?

[vSnake]

Yes. There have been no reports of the Mario Kart 7 bundle being above 4.5. These bundles are limited edition and were released before 5.0 came out.
Though I do understand if you want a second opinion on this. *looks at other people to confirm/deny this*

Thanks, and yeah it would be great if someone else can confirm this.

I got pretty lucky after watching some ebay auctions and got a white 3DS XL for £115 which was in really good condition. There were a few on there and they would show the firmware version in the screens so it worked our for me. I guess that is been said though and most people would use ebay and amazon as their first port of call.

You were purchasing a 3DS XL on amazon.de these days and also were expecting to get a GW compatible? How old are you? You can't be serious...

The package was opened before by someone else? No wonder, if people like you are acting so damn stupid.

Just for the record... Insulting someone like that doesn't make you come off all the more mature.

I've got a guy claiming he has a SUF1010***** Red/Black 3DS XL, but I've never seen anyone mention a serial number so low.

How legit do you think this is? Are 3DS XLs with this serial number unheard of?

He doesn't want to send an image because he thinks "only the owner should see it" and I haven't bought it yet. Which is fair enough, but still... makes me reluctant. I said he could blank out the other numbers in the image besides the SUF1010... but let's see what he responds with.

This is an eBay seller, BTW, with fantastic feedback.

my XL is SUF1017....so its probably legit, the point of this thread is to find the highest possible serial, anything lower should be fine...people usually only post if it was higher than the recommended serial or close enough to just confirm the higher reports to a degree

Thank you very much for the clarification.

Oh, I'm guessing it's going to be way below 4.1 then... Is Luigi's Mansion still the best way to bring up the firmware into Gateway range?

I'll ask in the 3DS Noobs thread.

Well, now I purchased a 3DS XL at Saturn in Austria.

Red/Black
SEH1034xxx
Copyright 2011
FW 4.2.0-9E

There were more than 10 devices left, which had a Serial-Number <= SEH1135 (afaik this is the greatest Serial-Number with a Firmware <= 4.5)

 

[Super.Nova]

We have them by the dozen here in KSA.
No, seriously, most players around here play Call of Duty all the time and pay no attention to Nintendo at all.

 

[Traiver]

Hey guys,

I saw a normal Nintendo 3DS (Not XL!) snow-white (without mario) in Saturn.

I think the Copyright was 2012 or 2013.. Is it save to buy it?

Thanks in advance

I've got myself a Japan Limited Mario Edition(shell swaped with a NTSC 3DS XL) on Ebay with FW 4.2 for about 216$ shipping included in good condition. I'm so excited to receive it!!
