You're issue sounds really strange. I wouldn't necessarily blame Gateway yet (Or imply that they're being malicious) simply because it's a beta release. Might just be something screwed up for some reason in Gateway's implementation, or it could really just be a fault of your 3DS (Unrelated to the current release).

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I'm not so sure it's just me, since Kazuma77 had a similar problem, though I don't know if Kazuma has a hardmod or not, and he was on O3DS. In any case, I'm doing more testing with my Anker USB adapter, and I think I can rule that out as the culprit now. It's going to come down to my hardmod or the SD adapter it uses, but that still wouldn't explain why the Gateway menu consistently fails to restore a dump.

If I have no way to use my gw card on my 11.X Sysnand (With A9LH + Luma) without create a 9.2 EmuNand, I guess I will try to sell it.
I supported you gateway, but now fuck off
I am in your same boat. However, I hope someone could make Gateway .sav convertable to .cia saves so I do not have to go backup to my sysNAND 9.2 to do it, as I on updated sysNAND

Not the most practical solution, but I've been using NTR savegame plugin to transfer out saves from Gateway to cia or Sky3DS+. I find that it is the most reliable way.

This Gateway Drama sure has been long and disappointing. For anyone who're gonna leave their Gateways to the dust, I'll repeat that I accept donations of Gateway carts. XD hahaha!

Just a few more days and we'll finally see the real deal Gateway is offering, even if most of us are already unhappy about it.

Sure, you just have to pay shipping.

Oh, and 40€ for the card, obviously.

As GW user,i hope that this is an alpha and we will have a good version. They can force the user to enter their Gateway cart before using the A9LH installer... Or before downgrading to 2.1... Because if the downgrade tool is free, anyone will downgrade with it and use an open-source installer and enjoy luma... This is pathetic.

Anyone can downgrade to 2.1, get OTP and install A9LH. Even without Gateway's downgrade, because it's basically the same as PlaiSysUpdater and OTP Helper... None of the tools released are revolutionary, so there's no reason for someone to rely on Gateway for A9LH.

I was gonna use the leaked beta. But nope. I don't like locks on my NAND.

Yes,i know that is a beta but... A release like that would be very stupid... Because anyone can do it,with or without GW... If they want , they can create a A9LH installer for each customer,but that lock hasnt any sense.

Well, if they do or don't is still up in the air, but I have good news: I managed to get out of the situation by using FBI to install NATIVE_FIRM from 9.3, so that removed their A9LH, but now I need to downgrade that one title. A small tradeoff, though.

I don't get why people are going bonkers over the beta/alpha test releases. Nothing is final yet, although I have turned my o3ds to a9lh with ease already, my new 3ds is still booting gateway through menuhax, just fine.

So hopefully, Gateway won't screw this up in the end. :B
And if they do... who would buy their product anymore?

I do the gateway process on a N3DS euro which i flash back my to nand to orignal firm 9.0 before and follow step by step and no brick for me
Anyone tried it... Before speaking?
Well downgrading to 9.0 may work fine because its using current methods so its brick chance is the same.
Let him try isntalling A9LH on his N3DS with that tool and if he says he didnt brick thats 100% BullShit

As long as they finally add GBA/DSi and NDS card support on Emunand while using the (old) Menuhax booting method, I wont even bother with a9lh (neither Luma nor GWs)
Honestly for me personally the positive things a9lh brings aren't worth all the hassle.
