== 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]].
   −
When first released, the gamecard [[System Update CFA]] contains the system update available at the time the NCSD image was finalized for that gamecard. However after release, the gamecard [[System Update CFA]] stored in the NCSD for newly manufactured gamecards may be updated once new system updates are available.
+
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.

| Found as an update on some game cards. This update appears to build on 2.0.0-2 as if it is used to upgrade a 3DS from 1.1.0-1 all of the features introduced in 2.0.0-2 are not present. With this update the Internet Browser is stubbed, and the E-Shop is not present and the Demonstration Video is still present. However the revised Home Menu, DSiWare Management and other features found in update 2.0.0-2 are present in this update.
