== System Versions ==
== System Versions ==
The system version displayed by [[System Settings]] is stored in [[CVer]] and [[NVer]]. Gamecard system updates do not update the [[NVer]] title since the gamecard [[System Update CFA]] does not contain the NVer title. Therefore, the "-<revision>" portion of the system version displayed by [[System Settings]] does not change when updating via gamecard.
Nintendo devised a system, whereby updates would be delivered via two channels:
*Card Updates (CUP) - The Nintendo 3DS is updated with data from an [[System Update CFA|update partition]] on retail gamecard title.
*Network Updates (NUP) - The Nintendo 3DS is updated by downloading data from Nintendo's [[Title list|CDN]].
CUPs will only deliver updates to core features, such as the Home Menu, [[Nintendo 3DS Camera]] etc. CUPs will not deliver updates to Network features, such as [[System Transfer]], [[Internet Browser]], [[StreetPass Mii Plaza]] or [[EShop|eShop]].
NUPs can deliver updates to core features as well as (updated) Network Features.
Because Nintendo decided to make a distinction between what content could be updated and how. The system version displayed by [[System Settings]] is made up of two parts: [[CVer]] (Console Version) and [[NVer]] (Network Update Version). Represented as:
<CVer Major>.<CVer Minor>.<CVer Micro>-<NUP Version><NUP Region>
The Console Version represents the version of the collectively installed core features. And the NUP Version represents the version of the collectively installed network features.
So if a 3DS' System Firmware read '''2.1.0-2U''', it would indicate a console version of '''2.1.0''' and a NUP version of '''2U'''.
NOTES:
* CUPs can only update core content, so [[NVer]] is never updated with CUPs.
* NUPs will not update [[NVer]] if network features are not updated. (Best seen with the USA vs JPN/EUR 6.0.0 NUP)
CUPs are implemented by adding a [[System Update CFA]] to retail NCSD gamecard images. Nintendo generally creates CUPs after NUPs are released.
