How to Update the Nintendo 3DS?

Currently, the latest Nintendo 3ds firmware is v7.1.0-16 and the new firmware has some new features such as improved system stability and usability, further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience.

After testing, the new 3ds firmware V7.1.0-16 didn’t block any flashcart and we can feel free to buy flashcart we like.

If you're going for a r4 cart, the best one around is the r4i gold 3ds released by http://www.r4igold3ds.us/, supported by wood r4 firmware, which updates fairly quickly to support newer games. It's fairly cheap.

If you're willing to pay twice as much, you can go for a SuperCard DSTwo. Updates are also quick, and it runs on it's own firmware (EOS). What makes it pricier is all of the extra functions it has: a gba emulator, ability to create save-states, free-cheat, etc. If you're fine without those, you might as well buy r4i gold .
