1- The prize of the console, even if it's an old console from years ago, a Nintendo 3DS are normally at 100€ aproximately, no matter the kind of firmware it may have, specially a bit more expensive if it's a pack with a game.
2- I cannot find out the firmware version just by seeing the box (I dunno if it's printed somewhere in the box or should you open it and look at 3DS setup screen to discover it's firmware version), so even if I have the money (That I cannot, becuz I'm saving for 2 PS Vita games and 1 Steam game) I can't afford wasting +100€ for a console that is updated above 4.5 firmware and that kind of gambling means a total waste of that money if I fail.
so, the only way to know, is where can I get just that nintendo 3DS and it's version only (4.5), I can't afford wasting more than just 50€ and I must start saving in 2015 after buying Torchlight 2 in steam and the 2 PS Vita games (Both are Disgaea 3 and 4).
I hope you understand my situation, living in spain means living with such low resources. 
Quick Edit: If I readed really carefully the spanish news from Elotrolado.net and it's really true, Then the next gateway update will work with 9.x firmwares... if that so... Then... AAAAW YEEEEAAAA... But I dunno if it's a guarantee, considering they said the same thing with 6.X firmwares, unless they said that for the most ppl who accidentaly updated their 3DS for any random reason, or was just becuz they had found an exploit only for 9.x firmwares. 
although, if I find a nintendo 3DS with 4.5 firmware to buy, I will try to buy it, and I hope to get Gateway as well...
then I will ask you how to perform step by step the model ripping... I have Skype, Telegram, Whatsapp, Line and Cubie. and I will PM it to TGE, RTB and/or you if I have the stuff I needed to do the ripping of Castlevania or any other 3DS game rom.
Quick edit 2: They found it, the exploit for 9.x versions... so anyone having a 3DS with updates of 5.x/8.x... update it right now... so you can use gateway as well when it's released. very soon, We will start do the ripping of every model of 3DS games.
I suggest you to do it as well Mr Walter (Unless of course you have 4.1-4.5 firmware on your 3DS, in that case DO NOT UPDATE), then you will need a Gateway (And in the worst case scenario, a cable to connect the 3DS directly to the PC by USB or anything else) just the only thing we must remember, is that we must wait the next update of Gateway install software on their website, of course it will work even on old Gateway cartriges. 
ok so my 3ds is a 9.x but what is the exploit so we can get started, plus they released a new update
Just... DO NOT UPDATE your 3DS...
Once Gateway 3DS is updated... in the instruction book it may have, you will know how to do the exploit... ok?
I can't remember it clearly, but it's very easy anyway. anyway, without the flashcart... you cannot do the exploit. becuz you need the Gateway cartrige, and gateway must be updated so it may work on your 3DS. otherwise, It will only work on 4.1-4.5 3ds firmwares.
if you update over 9.2 version... say goodbye to your future model rips. do you understand?
PS: I deleted all my connections on my 3DS setup, to prevent any attempt to get updates by connecting to the internet. You should do it as well.
The update is in WIP state. so you have to wait for the update... meanwhile you may purchase the gateway right now, it's an upgradable flashcart... so once the update is available, you just have to update it by the instructions on the official gateway page. I will PM you the link to prevent any problems in the forum. please read all the info from the official page in case you have any doubt what to do, how to do de exploit or how to update your flashcart.
Hey I have good news I ripped the models from the ps3 hd version the files are in bcmdl and the textutes are in bctex format so now am stuck
So , uh any one willing too help
Bumping twice is unnecessary FYI.
BCMDL and BCTEX are 3DS proprietary formats. I think they're supported by Every File Explorer though that program isn't finished yet.
It can export the models and textures but it does not export bones.
So has any one, found a way too get the models?

congratulations Mr. Walter... finally some good news for you...
not like me... I had to quit playing from a very fun game since I got power abused by some idiots and their guilds...
That game was "Monster Warlord" for both iOS and Android.
it will take me some time before I start ripping stuff, specially since my computer HD got damaged... and all my data is forever lost... including the 3DS roms and the project I was making for Dark Eevee G3...
PS: Please... delete my post about my custom texture... I don't wanna see any *cebsored* about that... I hate it... and from now on... Every creation I make... will only be MINE... besides Dark Eevee G3 looked perfect for me... and the only thing I WANTED was... to know how the heck can I solve the forehead emblem problem...
No need for fur textures... neither more realistic features... since I liked it they way it looked in the renders.
I was sugested by Mystie's tidbits becuz I thought I would make it better... but I realized that it cannot be so easy with my limited knowledge on photoshop.
Anyway... if by any chance I find a way to help... then count on me... but after this entire suffering, I only want a miracle...
PS: I am getting all the monster sprites as possible from the wiki of MW as a way to preserve a little of my self steem... as a way to just believe (even if it is a lie) that I had ALL the monsters from that game... oh gosh... it sounded pathetic...
somebody kill me...
Hi Farlavor! I will like to know if you complete to decrypt Castlevania Mirror of Fate for 3DS ? or xorpads ? Can you help me with this files , thank you!

To be honest, no. I tried the Xorpad Method with another game that has got my interest (Toriko Gourmet Monsters) but it caused me the files to not read or extract models properly, The only method it might seem to work is Ripping the Filesystem from a CIA format, since it's already decrypted. but to do so I need THAT file converted to CIA. I might get a 3DS to CIA converter, but perhaps being such a nOOb like I am might cause problems to get the proper files. and on an old post of GBATemp said that I must not use 3DSExplorer to rip the files from the rom. so I dunno exactly how the heck I can rip models from CIAs.
and even so, if I find models that I cannot convert due for the format I don't kinow. I cannot do it myself. so I will need to rely on TGE and the others.
and it seems that the best model rippers like RTB and RatchetMario went MIA for a long time. and I believe it will stay this way,
I'm yet waiting for the Bunnelby/Furfrou Models that RTB said on his post of Pokemon X/Y/OR/AS are working on (Since August of 2015). (Just more 3 toed/pawed/clawed creatures models from Pokemon for my collection, Oh my gosh
)
I need a more powerful gaming computer/laptop and a HD with plenty of Terabytes of capacity to store stuff.
PS: If by any chance I may succesfully rip the stuff, The only thing I may do is uploading the RAW files. I cannot convert the files by myself. since Everything from Nintendo 3DS is yet unknown for me.
I am only good at BRRES and formats supported by Noesis.
Hey Farlavor! I done to decrypt Castlevania Mirror of Fate i have everything but now im stuck with bcmdl...can't open them. I try EFE and Ohana3DS rebirth but nothing do you know something else?
So has there been any progress tooo ripping models from the game from any version?
Ok so after extracing the PC versions files i discovered that the models are in a .PKG format the pkgviewer does not recognize and the models are in .bcmdl and the textures in .bctex , from what i understand is the .PKG that the meshes and skeletal meshes use is not the same as the PS3 .PKG so i will now try and extract the PS# version files and see if there any difference.
