I guess they haven't released it for some of them then :\
Wrong date, thanks Joostin

I know,but they said they would update it for older than the rev.9.
At least for 4.5-10 (didn't update yet).
I know its feasible:

I have a question:
Does rev.8 will have a patch for 3DS ver. 4.5.0-10U or I will have to buy a new flashcard?

 

[JoostinOnline]

For those of you who successfully updated, what card revision do you have?

I had the latest revision, so that was the first update on that card I did
I was taking pictures of the card and got it stuck in 3ds with half the case (yes I'm an idiot)

So yeah this is why I stick with the supercard

Rev C?

By the way, I have no idea why the readme is in doc format, but here's a PDF version: http://www.mediafire.com/view/bonfh07m03rw8w7/readme.pdf

 

[razorbackdb]

have they said anything about if cutting the pcb makes the card no updateable?

Well, mine is the same that was in the picture

 

[The Real Jdbye]

you cannot apply the 6.0.0-X update if the line has been cut

I'd assume the 3DS was able to use that line to detect or flash the card

Yes, I figured out that much. But why? How does this affect future updates? What is the chip used for in the first place? There are so many questions that need answering. I think people would be less reluctant to go through with this process if they knew the details around it.

Email from the team

That does sound like cutting the line will disable reflashing of the chip...

Speaking of which, try HBMenu. YWG suggested using that launcher when I found some DS demos on pouet.net that wouldn't launch properly.

That was one batch, and all the trusted sellers we've seen sent out replacements. If you didn't get a replacement that's the shop you bought from at fault. They sold you defective merchandise, they should replace it.

This. I've really been considering making a sticky telling people to not get a 3DS to play DS ROMs on, since it offers nothing (as far as DS games go) while being more limiting. If they just want DS ROMs they should get a DS, far less hassle.

It (and the DSi XL which has the same problem with updates) offer a much bigger screen than a regular DS or DS Lite.

This is weird. No matter what I do, it always says fail at the update prompt, I remove and put the card again, I even tried with a NDSL, and fails every time.
Also, this is a revision C card right?

Same card as mine, and the same problem. Couldn't update last time too. Guess this one is dead.

If you take a look at the Help inside the cart menu, you'll see it says it's revision B. Probably that's why.

Crap, I bought this one like a month ago....now I ponder, To update or not update...that is the question, I have a NDSL, but I love the 3dsXL bigger screen....meh, I guess I don't want anything from the eshop right now, still, this sucks.

Anyone knows if there's a chance they will bring out an update later which doesn't require to open the card and cut some cord? I don't really trust myself doing that.

I don't think they can because Nintendo hardware blocked the card

 

[matt!]

that would null the point of you reading the thread

I've read the thread - there is no explanation from anybody in r4ids.cn team as to why the cut is required. Please post a link if you know otherwise.

I explain it lol

the 3DS can use that line to detect the flashcard hardware
hence why it needs to be cut

so the previous page where theres an email showing a snippet of conversation between me and the team not do it for you

I think it will be no problem for next updating. As the famous r4ids.cn team tell us do such a thing which they have considered of feature updating. No need to worry about that.

Nope, I think you are wrong, I believe this update means you can no longer update the firmware, hence the cut needed AFTER updating.
R4 teams "solution" is just to bring out yet another hardware revision, you may as well just buy a DStwo, because after buying 2 or more R4 cards, you might as well have just bought a DStwo in the first place, I know that's what I'll be doing when I want to update my 3DSXL.

Quick thought for hardware modders like myself who have done this sort of thing before, if you use a fiber brush and cut the line cleanly, surely you can update the chip later on by soldering the line back together briefly and updating in a DSL? then de-soldering and popping back in a 3DS? Just a thought.
