3DS system updates

Thanks for using Fixya.

You have to connect your 3DS to a WIFI spot. Add the wireless router to your 3DS and confirm the connection. From here you will do a system update in the System Settings button.

It's going to depend on which r4 card you have and if you've updated your firmware on your R4. The only versions of the r4 card that are compatible with the 3DS are "R4i Gold", "R4i Gold 3DS", "R4iDSN" and "R4iDSN 3DS". If your R4 card is not one of these, then unfortunately this will mean your R4 is not going to work with the 3DS. If you have one of these cards, you'll simply need to update your firmware:

- R4i Gold 3DS from R4ids.cn (3DS V2.0.0-2 Patch for R4i gold 3DS card)
- R4i Gold from R4ids.cn (3DS V2.0.0-2 Patch for R4i gold (NON-3DS) card)
- R4iDSN 3DS (R4idsn 3DS 2.0.0-2 Patch)
- R4iDSN (R4idsn 3DS 2.0.0-2 Patch for Non-3DS card)

It is giving you this message because your 3DS needs to update in order to have access to the internet browser. Here's how to update:

1. Make sure you're connected to the internet and go into System Settings. If you need help with this portion, look down below past the update instructions.
2. Go to "Other Settings"
3. Select "System Update".

If you received a 3DS that was boxed prior to Nintendo's recent update, it will not have the internet browser pre-installed, and this should fix the issue.

To connect to the internet in general on the 3DS (required to update and browse the web), you're going to need to have a wireless connection. Usually this would come from a router purchased at your residence, but it is also possible to go to a public WiFi hotspot and connect using that as well if you either do not have a home internet connection or do not own a wireless router. In order to connect to the wireless network once you have one in range:

1. Start up the 3DS and select "System Settings" from the main menu
2. Go into "Internet Settings"
3. Select "New Connection"
4. Select "Manual Setup"
5. Select "Search for Access Point"
6. After your 3DS brings up a list of all available wireless networks, select yours from the list and enter your wireless password (if applicable).
7. Test the connection, and away you go!

In order to get access to the internet browser, you will need to update your system. Here's how:

If you received a 3DS that was boxed prior to Nintendo's recent update, it will not have the internet browser pre-installed, and this should fix the issue.

Normally you will just tap the globe icon on the main menu (in the upper right). If you get an error message talking about internet coming in a later update, you will need to update your system. Here's how:

1. Make sure you're connected to the internet (as described above) and go into System Settings.
2. Go to "Other Settings"
3. Select "System Update".

OK, first of all you'll need an internet connection yourself.
Click the options menu and go to "other" (The orange one). Scroll along until you find "system update". Connect to wi-fi and update the system, DO NOT stop it once it's begun as it could harm your data.
Once the system is up to date, click on the blue globe in the top left of the main menu, et voila.
All you really need to do is update the system, so once you've done that all you need is to be near your wi-fi connection and you'll be fine.
Hope this helps, even if it is a little long winded =P
(NOTE: It won't be able to play videos like on youtube for some reason or other... nothing you can do but wait and see if Nintendo will update browsing capacity...)

The 3DS should be able to use the Internet out of the box. If not, run a system update by going to System Settings > Other Settings > System Update.

It means that the 3DS is currently not able to use an internet browser, but an update to the software that's currently on the 3DS will be released at a later time enabling the browser


so.. you will be able to use the browser, but at a later date
