1. any Firmware update COULD make your Sky3DS make NOT work anymore.
So check before upgrading.
in the other Hand, when not upgrading you cannot use eshop or play online.
Emunand is a way to fix this Problem by running 2 "Operating Systems"

2. im not into the details but i think every Game Cadridge has a UNIQUE header, and i DONT think you can use your Pokemon header to Play SmoashBros.
If you backed up your OWN Copy - you can play it most likely safely online without getting your 3DS banned.

3. Use newest template file - its just some kind of index wich patch (crack) to use for wich game. You can choose wich template file to use with the diskwriter tool.

so basically i would be updating one OS while keeping the other on an earlier FW? How hard is it to do? I'm afraid of bricks. Also, Do i need anything extra to install the emunand? I read something about requiring gateway.

Depends on your Firmware. If its 4.5 its pretty easy. on 9.2 its still possible.
on 9.5 i *think* its possible using Gateway($$$ or ask someone who has one).
on 9.9... no idea.

As you can see, newer firmware means less possibility to modify the system.
Nintendo will try anything to make you upgrade your firmware :-)

Yes you can even do it without any hardware using a softmod AFAIK.
Please take your time and read into the details yourself, there are tons of howto's.

Keep in mind:
1. backup your sysnand (curent 9.0 firmware) to your PC
2. once your accidently upgrade your sysnamd (real) firmware to 9.8 there's no going back. So once you installed emunand you better delete wifi-settings from sysnand.

Thanks for the confirmation I will stay on 9.9.026 then and it seems a friend of mine can get me Cubic Ninja for around 30€ so I'll finally have access to custom themes! :D Something I wondered about since my last post, since Ninjhax 2.0 is just an User Mode Exploit it won't ever lead to emuNAND right?
On its own, it will not lead to emuNAND. However, if another kernel exploit is found, Ninjhax 2.0 could be used as an entry point.

Well, got my hands on a o3DS but it runs 9.8. Can I run ROM's on this if I use a Gateway? I think they updated Ultra or something up till 9.9 but I'm not too sure on these things. I'm just trying to run FE If's english translations.

Unfortunately since you are on 9.8, you cannot use Gateway or CFW. Gateway supports 9.9 emuNAND for the O3DS, but doesn't support sysNAND above 9.2. If you want to run roms, currently your only choice is a Sky3DS.

Which DS flashcarts works with the 3DS? Also, up to what system menu version are they working?
There are way too many DS games I'm interested in buying, and some of them can't really be found for a reasonable price. Also some games need a ROM patch so that they could be played in English.
I don't really need a 3DS flashcart, since I have interest in supporting gaming companies so that they could continue making great games, and there ain't as many interesting games as for there are forDS, Also, unlike DS games, 3DS games are still fairly easy to get for a reasonable price. So I'm probably not going to buy a Sky3ds or Gateway, unless none of those DS flashcarts works with the 3DS, or with the system menu version I have.

I currently am playing Pokemon Alpha Sapphire on my Sky3DS but the online doesn't work! I am using the EU ROM and am using my header from my EU Pokemon Y and am currently using this chip ID: C2 F8 02 98. I have patched my ROM with this chip ID and my Y header. The strange thing is, I use the same header on MK7 and Smash Bros and they work perfectly online. Here is my template:

Gambia, The
maybe they added more unique data for Pokemon since the online-play is a very basic feature here.
its not really a noob question so maybe open another tread?

Will this allow you to run ROMs?

I'm not really well versed in 3DS stuff but from my understanding emuNAND in itself can't run ROMs.

On its own, it will not lead to emuNAND. However, if another kernel exploit is found, Ninjhax 2.0 could be used as an entry point.

Ah okay makes sense, thanks for explaining! :) I'll stick to 9.9.026 for the time being then!

Hello dear,

I've got N3ds 9.0 , gateway, Zelda Oot and powersave. I would like to know if I can install the lastest version of Gateway (Ultra 3.3) or if I have to install a older version?

Thanks :)

Latest is fine. I assume powersave will help in getting the custom zelda save onto your oot cart?

Already have an updated 3DS XL but I'm thinking about buying a New 3DS with Alpha Sapphire because I want to buy Xenoblade and future games. I am assuming it comes with firmware 9.2 since that was when the game was released (if not, can send it back).

I also want to back up the games I already own in order to be able to play on both systems (Pokémon X, Ocarina of Time, Link Between Words, 3D Land, Animal Crossing, couple others). How would I best achieve this? Emulators would be nice as well as disabling region locking but ultimately they are not necessary.

Can I do without flashcarts, using a CFW only? Otherwise, should I invest in Sky3DS seeing as it looks like it will work on future firmwares as well?

Appreciate it.
