Gateway has firmware.bin built into the Launcher.dat. Unlike public firmwares which either don't need that file anymore or can use the public dumped versions, gateway requires an update any time native firm gets an update.
Its the closed source nature of gateway that makes it that way

So there nothing physically blocking it? Its just the gw team cant be arsed updating it?

I am a little confused by question and I am wondering, are you still running AuReiNAND?

No latest Luma. I just called it that in this instance.

Since Gateway use an outdated firm file, as @TheCyberQuake said, gateway won't boot.
Sadly since it's not loaded from the SD Card and packed in the Launcher.dat, we can't really update it by ourself.

I guess the Gateway team can update this quickly, but they most likely won't update Gateway before StarGate3DS release.

Alrighty then.
The only real method to getting the "latest" OFW with Gateway is to make a frankenfirm. Basically requires selectively updating parts of the OFW to make something that is mostly up to date. I personally suggest not doing that, but that's my personal suggestion.

Already transferred mostly everything over to Luma now. GW is now just a spare part.

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    oh you mean the 3rd party apps on Kodi, yea i know what you mean, yea there are still a few cool ones, in fact watched the new planet of the apes movie other night w wifey thru one, was good pic surprisingly, not a cam
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
