Ok so i Removed the old files and downloaded the regular non dev files and put those in the same way but still no luck :/
weird there is another way to achieve your flashcard goals you need to go to that iso site related to the 3ds (if you dont know i cant be bore blunt with the hint) and download "patched twl_firm" its posted there by @Aurora Wright it comes o3ds and a n3ds version install (the correct one) to emunand (if using fbi to destination nand)

p.s. menuhax and ctrbootmanager will work with any cfw

edit: i think i know why luma wont boot for you you likely have ninjhaxV1 installed luma needs ninjhaxV2 . . . install menuhax first and try to load luma via menuhax

So I just have to apply this cia in say, Reinand, on my Emunand and it will allow me to play the flash cart? And as for Menuuhax and ctrbootmanager, are these installed in Emunand too?

1. yes
2. menuhax gets installed to sysnand (thats why i kept asking for the sysnand version) and ctrbootmanager is a replacement for hax to boot the homebrew menu that can redirect the boot as you like (ctrbootmanager is like an add-on for menuhax . . . that lets you boot any 3dsx)

1. Which of the two solutions would you suggest is best? Luma or the other?
2. How do I download menuhax to my sysnand? my Sysnand and Emunand are split and I dont remember how to install to the Sysnand

1. honestly the newer cfw runs better but is not really needed
2. you may need to update ninjhax as well so first the ninjhax website and follow instructions there
menuhax Installation

To install the exploit for booting the *hax payload, you must use the menuhax_manager app. You must already have a way to boot into the payload for running this app(which can include menuhax if it's already setup): http://3dbrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Exploits
Before using HTTP, the app will first try to load the payload(https://smealum.github.io/3ds/) from SD "/menuhaxmanager_input_payload.bin", then continue to use HTTP if loading from SD isn't successful. Actually using this SD payload is not recommended for end-users when HTTP download works fine. The input payload from SD is basically just copied to the ropbin file used by menuhax, where only the first 0x10000-bytes are written(only the first 0x10000-bytes get loaded by menuhax, anything after that doesn't matter). Hence, the input payload must be a ropbin file, not otherapp(https://smealum.github.io/3ds/). Hence, you can't use *hax payload pre-v2.5 starting with menuhax_manager v2.0 unless you already have the ropbin file for it(which would have to be located at the SD input-payload filepath).
If you haven't already done so before, you may have to enter the Home Menu theme-settings so that Home Menu can create the theme extdata, prior to installing menuhax.
Versions >v1.2 uses a seperate menuropbin path for each menuhax build. <=v1.2 used the same filepath for all builds, rendering menuhax unusable for multiple system-versions/etc with the same SD card without changing that file(like with booting into SD-nandimages, for example). The app versions >v1.2 delete the old menuropbin file used by <=v1.2.
If you have the X button pressed while selecting the "Install" app option, *hax payload setup will be skipped. Normally this isn't needed. Doing this would result in only the extdata being setup/updated for menuhax.
This app uses code based on code from the following repos: https://github.com/yellows8/3ds_homemenu_extdatatool https://github.com/yellows8/3ds_browserhax_common
Whenever the Home Menu version installed on your system changes where the installed exploit is for a different version, or when you want to update the *hax payload, you must run the installer again. For this you can do the following: you can remove the SD card before booting the system, then once booted insert the SD card then boot into the *hax payload via a different method(http://3dbrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Exploits).
basically just run the installer included with ninjhax2 setup . . . (from sysnand of course)

1. Which of the two solutions would you suggest is best? Luma or the other?
the patch is early work from the cfws (new) author
. . .
before it was implemented into the cfw
before the cfw got its own name

So I just redid Ninjax (Which seems to be on 2.7 now as opposed to 2.5), but now neither Reinand nor Luma will run. I get a quick red screen then just black screen.

Edit - And by the "Patch" do you mean Luma?

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

Ok so I just redid Ninjax one more time and now Luma works, i just clicked it but a menu popped up with options such as "Autoboot SysNAND" and such and "use second EmuNAND as default". What do I have to do to get to my EmuNand. and will it be the same EmuNand I accessed in ReiNAND?

Edit 2 - Ok so those where just options that could be skipped by pressing start. However i just booted Luma and my blue gateway card still doesnt show up. Do I still need to install something in Luma for it to appear?

sorry had to sleep
glad to hear that you got the CFW working looks like it was right it just did not like your version of ninjhax

so most of all flashcards should work now if it still doesn't did you need this as well

I couldn't get to make gateway bluecard word even with the patched twl_firm. All i get is a black screen after clicking the flashcart icon.
(Latest A9LH, LUMA)
Already tryed to use the original twl_firm but nothing.

Does anyone know a fix?

Hello,

Formated my microsd 32gb to fat32 inserted into my Gateway blue card and when I launched the card I got an error telling me to restart. (With this guide: https://gbatemp.net/threads/gateway-blue-card-on-luma3ds-a9lh.439605/)

Just have:
__rpg folder
and the _DSMENU.DAT file
and a game.nds,
in the root of my microSD

I did skip part 1 because I did not change anything.
Update: I've installed O3DS AGB.cia and O3DS TWL.cia and it still gives me this auto shutdown error. (with DSTT card the same)

What could I be doing wrong?

Hi, just a very simple release, but useful and cool :)
Install this cia and you will be able to use DS mode flashcarts that have been blocked by Nintendo over time.
If it never worked on 3DS, this will not make it work. But, If it worked in FW 1.0, that chances are that it will work now.
A list of flashcarts that have been blocked -
http://pongupdates.wordpress.com/flashcards-working-on-3ds/

I sent this to gamesquest1, and got him to confirm that it works, he tried with the gateway blue card on 9.4 (sysnand). He even made a nice little video because there are always people who doubt.


There is not much use using this on emunand, since I'm pretty sure we cannot use ds mode flashcarts in gw/classic mode.
You would use this if you are:
1 -
On 4.x and have access to devmenu, and want to use a ds flashcart that was blocked, for example, the EZFlash Vi was blocked in 4.0. Installing this cia on my 4.5 sysnand, that card should work again.
2 - On 4.x and want to upgrade to the current fw, leave GW behind, whatever, you could install this and you would still be able to use ds mode flashcarts on the latest fw - probably forever unless Nintendo change something, they likely won't.
3 - If you have a New 3DS, we can't test it since we don't have devmenu access yet, but when we do, probably when we install this cia then things like gateway blue card will work :) Good news for the people that will be using GW with their N3DS, it will have a use ha. ---- but not tested.

Keep in mind, this is permanent, at the moment there is no way to undo this. Also, Nintendo should not be able to change it when you get an update. Which is good. (But this is their console, I am sure they could remove it/make it useless if they wanted, but I doubt they would bother)
Just a reminder, emunand is not needed, GW works fine without it, to install stuff (like this) on sysnand just don't load up in emunanad = don't have emunand on your big sd card.
If this for some reason b0rks your 3DS, sorry. It shouldn't at all, but still, not my fault.
Enjoy :)

-- you can find the cia on that iso site, i think? :)

Let me know how it works. I don't think EVERY flashcard that was blocked will become unblocked, but hopefully most.

Where is the CIA for this? I also searched for the CIA on that one iso site, but no matches.
