Yes i would beleive this is possible as this r4 card is a shameless gateway-3ds clone but the only problem is on the site it specifically says "Support 3DS V6.2.0-12" which this firmware is very old and probably unlikely of having it.

but on the flipside if you have 3ds 10.3 or under and you really wanted this card you could downgrade to 9.2 using sysupdater. https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-downgrade-3ds-with-sysupdater.407924/

then you could use gateway's launcher to downgrade to 4.5. http://www.maxconsole.com/maxcon_fo...Downgrading-your-3DS-from-4-5-9-2-down-to-4-x

Although this would work you would be using firmware 4.5 on your sysnand and this r4 card creates an emunand for you to play the roms on, this website does not mention what firmware the emunand supports which makes me think you would be stuck with a firmware like 6.0.

honestly looking at if it supported gateways emunand since it is a clone you could probably use gateways emunand which supports 10.4 currently with that r4 card

-Happy Hacking :)

My consoles already hacked, I just need a DS mode card because my DS firecard is not compatible with 3ds.

if its that your worried about you could try installing bluecardfix.cia to your sysnand bluecardfix can be found on gateways site. its included with the firmware package http://www.gateway-3ds.com/downloads/

if you use rxtools you can boot into sysnand with rxtools and use fbi or devmenu to install bluecardfix.cia
this should enable all ds mode carts if it works you can use your existing ds firecard

or you could try flashcardtimewarp.cia although i think their the exact same thing http://www.maxconsole.com/maxcon_forums/threads/287719-Flashcard-Timewarp

Bluecardfix is a "legit" DS cart whitelist at v0, while flashcardtimewarp is spoofed to v1000. Install bluecardfix to sysnand, but if you update (your sysnand), it'll uninstall and will need to be re-applied, but odds are you aren't updating your sysnand anyway.

It says here they can run 3ds roms just like gateway,is there any truth to this?

Funny story (heh pun),

That card was the beginning of the Gateway brick-train. It hasn't been updated in years. (still limited to 4.1-4.5 only, and emunand i think crapped out at 7.1 due to the 7.x encryption they never got from GW)

I mean yes, you could use the starter card for DS - but you'd be overpaying a lot for a 2nd useless flashcart.

TBH, find one of the older DS only cards.
Something like: http://www.r4-usas.com/products/R4-3DS-for-DS,-DS-lite,-DSi,-DSi-XL-and-3DS.html

Mine still won't work. I have the firecard.
