Say nintendo releases 10.0 and 10.0 has a new encryption system for newer games, and Majora's mask comes with the new encryption implemented in it.
3DS, 2DS and 3DS XL users will be happy, but not on New 3DS, since it can only support emuNAND up to 9.5, so it can't go to emuNAND 10.0 with the new encryption, and you can't play Majora's mask.

Of course this is theoretical, but it is an example. Also no eShop, no new features etc etc

Damn that is bad, Gateway probably won't have a fix for that for months to come possibly

That's fine as N3DS already has no issues with the facetracking for now, I can't think of a reason to have 9.5 Emunand other than being able to get updates for the latest games

You can still run online right as you can update your CIA manually and play any game that supports 9.4 emunand?

How are you planning to get 9.4 emunand on a N3DS when only 9.5 is now available?

 

[weatMod]

yes, you can download updates as .CIA

I thought it wasn't so easy don't you have to find you per console key and do a bunch of crazy shit ?
I thought it wasn't as simple as downloading and installing the CIA for the FW version you want to update your emunand to

Yeh, I was hoping there would be some way but damn I dunno, so it's confirmed impossible to get 9.4 emunand on N3DS atm?

Game card update? Its confirmed that Majoras Mask needs a firmware higher than 9.0. So it could have anything between 9.0 - 9.4

 

[Kracken]

I think the latest would be 9.2 since it would have to create the emunand from the sysnand if what I am hearing is correct. Or a gamecard update I guess as said above.

There is a method to install FW from cia so maybe 8.1J N3DS can update to 9.2 and then go to 9.2 emunand?

 

[2Hack]

What? This doesn't explain why GW have taken so long at all.
Prior to 9.5, there was no barrier as 9.5 didn't exist to even be a barrier. This was not even an obstacle prior to yesterday.

If you're going to defend Gateway, at least use your brain.


You're like the Thomas12345 of Gateway.

You don't even know what the 'barrier' they encountered is lol. You're just name calling and spewing your negative attitude.

 

[weatMod]

Theres a thing called firmware spoofing for "future games", you can also download eshop titles including eshop updates in .cia format so you should be good to go for a very long time.

On the downside no amibo NFC support when the new update hit in February I could care less about myself though
And spoofing won't work it games require a newer FW and the game is compiled with a new sdk that has eye alps to features 9.x don't have and they probably already have a new sdk for n3ds because of NFC support
Probably will add more than NFC support in the new sdk
Plus we don't even know if either card can support n3ds exclusive yet

It wasn't so easy until govannify or however is called released the custom firmware alongside the devmenu. Then gateway themselves enabled ( dirty move imo even if I'm using gateway) devmenu usage on their launcher so all became really easy. Devmenu is a developer tool and such can ignore trivialities such as console key and shet. That's why I'm saying against any sky3ds fan that as long as sky3ds can't use devmenu it's a shit product for me , it enables ALL on the 3ds , patches, dlcs , cia games , etc , not needing to enter eshop anymore ( thus no need of having latest version) , in fact if you use devmenu entering eshop is bad because it might delete your "illegally" installed stuff. Basically it's like having full root access ^^

 

[DevilHands]

On another note, Could this be the reason why Gateway didn't release Gateway N3DS yet???

Maybe they expect this to happen, and in order to avoid consumers from updating to a firmware like 9.5 emunand with their N3DS thus generating mad consumers... they can now tell their consumers not to update to 9.5 emunand during Gateway N3DS release.

That is atleast a very good mention before the release of the N3DS, i'm just happy we got some news from them, I was beginning to think they were dead lol

I know about dev men I am not talking game updates installed CIA I am talking about system updates installed as CIA to update emunand , like to 9.4
I was under the impression it was not easy and you had to get some console specific key and compile it into the CIA yourself

Spoofing does just exactly that, it spoofs the game so you can play newer games on an older firmware.

It the game requires the SPK of newer FW what does spoofing do?

 

[weatMod]

Yeah we can spoof games to a certain extent but if the game requires a newer FW that has syscalls that the older FW you are running on doesn't have its not going to work it just spoofs the version number if nintendo releases games compiled with a newer sdk then spoofing is not going to help us
And since this is a new system and since they are going to be adding new software FW version to support the new hardware like NFC you can be certain that Nintendo has a new sdk or one is in the works

 

[MidLevelCrisis]

How about we make these waits more amusing, as soon as a flash card group announces something you plan waiting for you start growing a beard (if you can) and then when the anouncement is fulfilled we post pictures of the result trying to look as weathered and sas as possible.

I hear the update is gonna be released with the birth of SonyUSA's newborn

Yeah, that most likely will happen. I'd suggest on buying a regular 3DS while they're going cheap. I bought mine for a silly amount and it was in almost mint condition. Basically you can play all the games to date on the N3DS and the newer ones on the regular 3ds. Still a better option than buying a Sky3DS.

At this point I'm not sure if I should upkeep my New 3DS preorder ...
