Hello buzzer,

Just a quick question, I picked a 3DS off cash generators last week for £10.00 as was sold without cables and as faulty. Lucky for me I bought I universal charger over the weekend from Argos and found that it's in a good working order. It is currently on fw 3.0.0-6E and I got an R4i SDHC card working in it. Do I need to update the 3DS to any specific fw or leaving it on the current ofw is fine? Reason I'm asking is because some DS roms don't work, they just freeze before fully loading!

the freezing games will most probably be down to the flashcard or firmware.

its up to you whether you update or not, but updating will almost certainly block your flashcard.

But is it possible to update to a specific fw such as 5.0 or 6.0 and not the latest one? Or the only update way is through Nintendo which by default will update to the latest ofw?

no m8, only way to update is by official means.

unfortunately the console will update to latest available version.

there is no way to downgrade firmware either....

anybody heard of the gateway card?

 

[mmonster]

Knew about it before launch but @ a RRP of around £54 its really over priced and has few draw backs such as only being able to play one game of a memory card so would need to swap memory cards for different games and also currently cannot work on 3DS with fw 6.1 or above.

My advise is to wait until something better comes out and when other brands start to appear at cheaper prices.
