You need to update emunand to the latest firmware in order to access eshop (that's the purpose of emunand). You should only ever update through the system settings when you check that your firmware has GW3D..... in front of it.So I just got my GW3D and I have everything setup. i formatted my SD Card and got the EmuNand setup straight after installing the OMEGA 2.2 firmware. I enter Classic mode and my firmware in settings says GW 3D 4.5.0 U-10
When I try to enter the eShop it's asking me to update - which I'm pretty sure people told me not to do. Just want to know if there's anything I'm doing wrong or if eshop is not supported after an update or something right now.
As a side note, you can't access eshop at the moment anyways since eshop support breaks in 7.2. Gateway is supposedly working on a fix.
Dumping NAND via hardware and Gateway does exactly the same thing. You can still only restore through hardware mod though.I have a question. I just bought a 3DS XL with 4.4 and ordered a Gateway. Is there any point of dumping my NAND via hardware, or is that just for restoring the original NAND if it gets updated/bricked? From what I gather you can dump your original NAND with Gateway and use emunand to update to newer versions without touching the original NAND.
Also, is there any reason to update my original NAND to 4.5?
Nah, 4.4 works just as well as 4.5
