... So then what should we 8.1 users do? Wait around for a cart with a 9.x update on it? Makes me wish I would've gone with a EUR N3DS instead of JPN.![]()
I don't believe there will be any JP carts with an exploitable 9.x. JP MM comes with 9.4 already. Besides that, cart updates don't include a browser.
Personally I'll wait another few weeks for gateway and see if they decide to support 8.1 (which they definitely could, but again economically it wouldn't make sense for them to do so -- remember in the 4.x days they were clear that there were plenty of 4.x consoles available and users should sell theirs and buy one of those).
And regarding KARL3DS... I feel it would be rude to ask them to put the required time into it to rewrite the exploits specifically for 8.1. It's up to them if they want to do that.
If they don't then I'll sell my 8.1J and buy an U/E 9.0~9.2.
