Personal opinion, the support for N3DS is ready, all they're doing right now is working to make the lives of people who plan to use their (modified)launchers for CFW or any other additional GW features harder, hopefully no brick code though.

They did it perfectly :

1) Release the Old 3DS beta for 9.2 and lower, and see what happens.

2)Patch everything that people exploit in the beta for the OLD 3DS on New 3DS to make sure the same doesn't happen on new 3ds for maximum profit.

So, this is the second time I've bricked a 3DS because I'm retarded, haphazard and impulsive. But, yeah, I tried to install a multiple stage update via cia to my sysnand knowing full well the risk and did it anyway. So, how can I explain to my relatives why I need a ride to Walmart for a return the second time? It was hard explaining it the first time. loll

Damn that sucks, didn't you make an NAND backup though and also, what does a multiple stage update do, aren't you meant to install this stuff to emunand?

Nah, aside from that bug that got fixed, it wont -let- you downgrade because it checks your model region before doing the downgrade.

I didn't know that! Alright, fair enough, you have a point. I suppose that's also why restoring from a NAND backup is a hidden feature. That COULD brick your console, but you won't know how to activate it unless you know what you're doing. It's actually pretty smart.

Okay then, maybe they are just testing the N3DS exploit out on North American systems. That makes sense. I still wish they would actually come out and say as much, though.

Yeah, I got the updates from yellow8 site and made them into cias. Sometimes there is multiple stages with many many cias installed. You can install them to sysnand with tremendous risk. I can't go back even with a backup without a hard mod. So, I figured I might as well return it to Walmart since its only been 5 days and I have the box and receipt.

So instead of installing one at a time, you decided to do it all at once......is there no patience in this kind of thing for you?

I installed them one at a time, but that was the mistake. I didn't pay attention and decided to do the stages each separately, but I realized I had only the first stage installed and on the sd card. By that time, the system was shut off and bricked imediately. Like I said I was being retarded even though I knew not to.

I technically don't know what you were doing but I do feel for you, making multiple trips can be a pain.

Can I just ask, what is your goal with this?

The N3DS method uses a Mii QR code, correct? Mii QR codes have a large "Mii" logo in the center that isn't necessary in order for the code to work. If Gateway is really that concerned about the code being used in untested regions, they could replace the Mii logo with red text that says "WARNING: FOR USE ON JAP AND EUR REGION CONSOLES ONLY!". It would be literally impossible to miss.

I know this is from several pages back, but I just wanted to explain something. There are several types of QR codes, and even in their largest generational state, they can not hold all that much data. I'm somewhat doubtful that the exploit would rely on a MII QR code, which seems like a version one or two QR code, and can only hold an extremely finite amount of data, even without the fact that Nintendo's MII scanner cuts out a good portion of the code for the MII logo.
 
So, now, we know first batch N3DS US/EUR should support gateway :



If EUR versions are 9.0, there is no reason for US versions to not be the same.

Maybe not...I just realized if I get a refund, then I may be able to just buy a new 3ds instead. lol, go me. but if not an exchange will suffice :)) I am sticking with emunand this time.

Lol I was saying stupid for trying something that you know could brick, especially with no way to revert in case of a brick. Don't know Walmarts policy, but target had 30 days for returns on electronics even if opened.
 
And it also learn us Majora's Mask required firmware should be 9.0 or less, as the N3DS run the preinstalled version without any firmware updates.

(And there is no reason for the preinstalled game to be different from the digital/retail versions).

It also probably the same for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate.

I'd say required FW is 8.1 or less based off how game releases are. They usually use a much earlier version then what's currently available.

In fact, they often use the version available when they developped the game. It explain why Pokemon OR/AS have 7.x when Smash Bros, which got released a month earlier, have 8.x

I also think the game is ready since a while so yeah, it'll be probably 8.x (but 8.x or 9.0, it change near nothing. It would have only been a problem if it would have been 9.3+).

I was just repeating what I'd heard. Where did the rumor that it would be a Mii QR code originally come from?

Cubic Ninja uses a QR code...
