Hello all!

So, I have a 3DS with Gateway and EmuNAND at the moment. I have not made any changes to pretty much anything since I updated to the latest gateway firmware December of last year? February? Regardless, while everything works, having to constantly go in and do the DS Profile trick is annoying as all hell.

I've been thinking about updating to whatever's new, but I also don't want to invest in a large capacity SD card to install a bunch of CIA's so I'd still like to use my gateway card. I'd still like to use a CFW though, cause that stuff looks great. I know there's a way using Arm9H to get gateway emunand to boot at startup, but is there a way to install the newest firmware, the best cfw, (NOTE: I have no idea what's best, so I'd appreciate suggestions), and still use gateway?

Not sure if this belongs in 3DS Noob paradise, pretty sure it doesn't, but if it does, let me know and Ill move it there. I already checked 3ds.guide, but didn't see anything that would help.

Anyway, I'd appreciate any and all help. Haven't touched my 3ds in ages, but with M&L:SS and the new metroid, I've gotten back into it, and I'd really like to simplify stuff.

First you can follow: https://3ds.guide/ to install Luma Sysnand cfw.

Then you can follow: https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-using-luma3ds-gateway-on-b9s.431691/

Which will allow you to boot into Gateway by starting the 3DS up while holding the Down button on the Dpad.
