if it says @2012 Nintendo the the frim ware will be around 4.1- 4.5 so i do suggest you look at the boxes if you decide too get one, but even that's a gamble am pretty sure there is way too downground too 4.5 though
the only problems I find are mainly two...
1- The prize of the console, even if it's an old console from years ago, a Nintendo 3DS are normally at 100€ aproximately, no matter the kind of firmware it may have, specially a bit more expensive if it's a pack with a game.
2- I cannot find out the firmware version just by seeing the box (I dunno if it's printed somewhere in the box or should you open it and look at 3DS setup screen to discover it's firmware version), so even if I have the money (That I cannot, becuz I'm saving for 2 PS Vita games and 1 Steam game) I can't afford wasting +100€ for a console that is updated above 4.5 firmware and that kind of gambling means a total waste of that money if I fail.
so, the only way to know, is where can I get just that nintendo 3DS and it's version only (4.5), I can't afford wasting more than just 50€ and I must start saving in 2015 after buying Torchlight 2 in steam and the 2 PS Vita games (Both are Disgaea 3 and 4).
I hope you understand my situation, living in spain means living with such low resources.
Quick Edit: If I readed really carefully the spanish news from Elotrolado.net and it's really true, Then the next gateway update will work with 9.x firmwares... if that so... Then... AAAAW YEEEEAAAA... But I dunno if it's a guarantee, considering they said the same thing with 6.X firmwares, unless they said that for the most ppl who accidentaly updated their 3DS for any random reason, or was just becuz they had found an exploit only for 9.x firmwares.
although, if I find a nintendo 3DS with 4.5 firmware to buy, I will try to buy it, and I hope to get Gateway as well...
then I will ask you how to perform step by step the model ripping... I have Skype, Telegram, Whatsapp, Line and Cubie. and I will PM it to TGE, RTB and/or you if I have the stuff I needed to do the ripping of Castlevania or any other 3DS game rom.
Quick edit 2: They found it, the exploit for 9.x versions... so anyone having a 3DS with updates of 5.x/8.x... update it right now... so you can use gateway as well when it's released. very soon, We will start do the ripping of every model of 3DS games.
I suggest you to do it as well Mr Walter (Unless of course you have 4.1-4.5 firmware on your 3DS, in that case DO NOT UPDATE), then you will need a Gateway (And in the worst case scenario, a cable to connect the 3DS directly to the PC by USB or anything else) just the only thing we must remember, is that we must wait the next update of Gateway install software on their website, of course it will work even on old Gateway cartriges.
ok so my 3ds is a 9.x but what is the exploit so we can get started, plus they released a new update
Just... DO NOT UPDATE your 3DS...
Once Gateway 3DS is updated... in the instruction book it may have, you will know how to do the exploit... ok?
I can't remember it clearly, but it's very easy anyway. anyway, without the flashcart... you cannot do the exploit. becuz you need the Gateway cartrige, and gateway must be updated so it may work on your 3DS. otherwise, It will only work on 4.1-4.5 3ds firmwares.
if you update over 9.2 version... say goodbye to your future model rips. do you understand?
PS: I deleted all my connections on my 3DS setup, to prevent any attempt to get updates by connecting to the internet. You should do it as well.
The update is in WIP state. so you have to wait for the update... meanwhile you may purchase the gateway right now, it's an upgradable flashcart... so once the update is available, you just have to update it by the instructions on the official gateway page. I will PM you the link to prevent any problems in the forum. please read all the info from the official page in case you have any doubt what to do, how to do de exploit or how to update your flashcart.
