I'm still a bit confused with all the talk of the NAND, so sysnand is basically the devices actual firmware? That you don't touch if its at 4.5 already. Emunand is the spoofed firmware version? And within that, you have normal and classic mode. Classic mode allows you to use retail carts. So why would you ever use normal? And if you are planning on playing roms only and never touching retail carts, which mode should you use? Phew, loaded question.

Hi, I have MT-Card, and information about it is pretty scarce. Right now I try to run Steamworld Dig, and it crashes on launch. Is MT-Card even supposed to be compatible with eShop titles? Because on the official site it says that it is.
And if it really is compatible, am I supposed to just drop files on microSD like a regular game, or is it more tricky?

What about upgrading 3DS's firmware. Let's assume I have 3DS with firmware lower than 4.1 and I want to upgrade it (to 4.5 for example) and I don't have any original 3DS game cartridges. What options do I have?

buy a game with the 4.x update on,
borrow a game with the 4.x update on,
rent a game with the 4.x update on,
steal a game with the 4.x update on.

Im setting up my gateway now. And I backup up my nand.bin file now Im using a vid tut and a written tut somewhere else. Now in the vid he backup up just the file and in the other tut he said back up the whole folder 3ds folder. Now which is is right. Ive already formatted the nand. Ive used this vid. Im only asking bc the written vid says but the folder back on the card be4 going into gateway.

Also now when i go into gateway mode and try to load a backuped rom I get fragmentation error. can i get some help passing this and getting the card to work right.

Did you dump the save file too?
Rename it "titleid.sav" where the titleid is dependent on your game. Search it up here (http://3ds.essh.co/)
Then drag the save file to your sd card (big one in the 3ds)

what firmware will smealums exploit thing be compatible with
lol
I sound like a fag
Supposedly works on 8.x. For more details, go ask smealum. *downs 2 shots*

Isn't defragging really bad for flash memory? Thought that was mainly for mechanical hard drives.
yeah defragging is bad....just format and copy them on again, there is also a tool that does "minimal" defragging to get the games in a playable set up without defragging the whole card

be sure to copy the games on 1 at a time...copying on a bunch at the same time also causes the fragmentation error

Got another quick question, is it ok to take out my red Gateway card while I'm in Gateway mode? Incase I want to swap Micro SD cards or should I power off and do the whole thing from the start?

What I wish is for the capability to remove the big SD card while in Gateway Mode. I'd like the to be able to back up my saves on my computer without having to turn off the 3DS and starting up Gateway Mode again...

yeah that is pretty annoying....for what its worth you can if you don't have emunand set up, but i doubt there would be any way to do it when running the system FW from the SD card

    and also some of nintendo's first party games

    some of the best selling games on the switch are wii u ports (that are priced way too high
    like come on 60 for a game thats a decade old??)

    $60 for a game that's a decade old might be unheard of on PC but actually is not uncommon on consoles

    especially Nintendo because they only ever lower the price of games when they do a greatest hits/platinum hits/players choice re-release
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and the HD collections released for 7th gen consoles too
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but they don't seem to have done any of those for the switch yet and maybe never will

    I think we all forgot breath of the wild released for the wii u tbh

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, tbh the HD collections are more justified since they include more than just 1 game per copy

    @SylverReZ I read that non-binary people identify as a blend of male and female. The point is i think i'm a blend of those and thus non binary
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Non-binary people are those who don't identify themselves exclusively as male or female.
