Its not work have install files on sys and emunand... I wait on Timemachine
you do know that even with gateway you will still have to downgrade. there is no way around that. the guide that is out now is 1000000% times safer than gateway unless they get their shit together.

I don't have a GW so I'm kind of a noob in that regard, but why is it what people would downgrade using Gateway's method over the current method? Does it add some form of comparability or are people just sucked into this false sense of safety when they downgrade using Gateway?

The latter. We've seen Gateway's downgrade already. It's no safer than the current method, because it's the exact same thing, just done with Gateway's app (Which doesn't even have an original name...).

people are stupid. i dont get how they could feel safe with that shit, it locks you to just their shit. you have to have the cart in for it to work and unless something has changed(doubt it) you cant use any other cfw. its gw mode or nothing,

Sucked false sense of safety. A lot of people thought it would be easier and safer, but in the end, it has a lot of shortcomings/drawbacks and it isn't as reliable as Plailect's guide.
A good example of drawbacks:
You can't change the payload since it installs on NAND.
Needs the Red Card to boot the system.

Lol another reason why I won't get Gateway. - Check

Can someone explain to me what the "red card" and the GW menu are? And I guess the "blue card" for that matter? I've heard the terms but I've never given a sh*t about Gateway to care what they meant.

Red card is the 3ds card for Gateway that acts as it's DRM (You can't boot GW mode without it inserted, though there's no legitimate reason to have that requirement), and allows .3ds rom loading (Since it's a physical cartridge, and is capable of mounting the roms correctly).

Blue card is a basic DS flashcard. Nothing special.

GW menu is a menu with some tools that you can launch regardless of whether you have a Gateway or not.

Blue card: A DS Flashcard, it can run DS games and it was used to install the MSET exploit IIRC>
Red card: The 3DS flashcard, by default it doesn't have a menu and can't work by itself.
GW Menu: A CFW to be used together with the Red Card, it allows you to access the ROMs inside the Red Card.

redcard is for 3ds games, blue card is for ds games, gateway menu is what loads to then get u into the mode where u can use the red card. the best part is even with a9lh from gateway there are still failed boots. it doesnt just boot to the home menu, it boots to the gw menu and then does what looks to be menuhax type shit to boot into gateway mode

I'm on EmuNAND 11.0.0-33U and SysNAND 9.2.0-20U with A9LH installed. I cannot play any of my legally purchased games from the eshop online. I am receiving a system error code: 002-0119 stating:
"In order to use this service, a system update is required.
To perform a system update, select System Update from Other Settings in System Settings." but I am already on the latest EmuNAND firmware.
is there a way to fix this? Or is this an issue caused by running EmuNAND? I would just like to restate that I'm having issues playing my legally and legitimately obtained digital and cartridge based games from before I softmodded.

(I have no issues signing into my NNID and redownloading from the eshop/theme shop)
