Quick question. I recently installed the mset exploit, so now I have the gateway 3.2.2 ds exploit installed. I then backed up my NAND and am planning on updating my firmware version from 4.5.0-4 to 4.5.0-7 with 3DSNUS. Since I have my NAND backed up, how would I go about restoring it if my system bricks. Thanks so much.
If your system is functional enough to turn on and reach the launcher, you can use the Gateway Launcher to flash the NAND.BIN to system nand. Hold Up and press A on the "Downgrade Console" option to restore the backup. If your system cannot turn on, or you cannot reach the Launcher (because it's been updated past an exploitable System Version, or too damaged to reach the Launcher), then it will require a hardware mod to restore the nand. There are people on the forums who can install the hardware mod, if you do not wish to do it yourself.
I'm still running system firmware 9.2 so I can use Ninjhax and whatnot, but it's getting really tempting to upgrade so I can actually update my games and play online.
The biggest time-sensitive factor is redeeming my Club Nintendo Mewtwo DLC before the code expires next month.If I can't find a solution by then, I'll probably end up updating my firmware.
My question: If I were to invest in a Gateway card and create an emuNAND, could I then update that emuNAND to 9.8 (supported as of a couple days ago) and access the eShop / update my retail cartridge games?
Also, if I update my retail games via emuNAND, does that present any risk if I attempt to launch those games without Gateway?
Is your 3DS an Old 3DS, or a New 3DS? An Old 3DS can support emuNand of 9.8. You can create your emuNand, update it, access the eShop, get the updates, and everything will be fine. If you keep your nands linked, you can even extract the update and install it on sysNand as well, or you can just run the games on emuNand in Classic Mode (since you have retail cards), or extract the retail cards to .3DS files and use them with your red card. If you have a New 3DS or cannot get a Gateway card in time, there should be a couple methods of spoofing your System Version to access the eShop without updating your console available to you. I haven't read into them myself, but
https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-...eshop-and-more-on-new-3ds-and-old-3ds.386591/ is probably a good place to look.
i have a question about pasta CFW. i want to install the gba games on my 3ds. and to do it i have to install 0004013800000202.cia on the sysnand. and the only way to do so is using pasta CFW. and i'm a gateway user so i have a ds flashcard, plus my 3ds is 4.2. and my question is about how to run pasta cfw because all the tutorials are for people without ds flashcard, or with the ninjax, or using palantine cfw to transfer a cia from pc to 3ds on the internet. but that last method never worked for me, i hope somebody tell me the steps to follow to properly use the pasta cfw on my 3ds using my DS flashcard, and then install the 0004013800000202.cia to play gba games on sysnand
thanks.
You should be able to install CIA files to sysNand by using Gateway's "Boot Gateway Sysnand Mode". Have DevMenu.3ds on your red card, the CIA you want to install on your system SD card, and enter the Launcher menu. (Hold L while performing your usual exploit to reach the menu instead of automatically booting emuNand.) Highlight "Boot Gateway Mode" and hold B, and the text will change to "Boot Gateway Sysnand Mode". Press A while holding B, and it will prompt to make sure that's what you want to do. Press X to accept, and you will be running sysNand but with Gateway support enabled. Run DevMenu like you would any other game, and install the CIA, and it will be installed to sysNand.
Does anyone know what firmware new3DS systems come with right now out of the factory? For example, if I walk into my local gamestop/best buy/whatever today and buy a new3DS, will it probably be above 9.2? I'm wondering for pasta CFW purposes.

Yes I believe you can. Check out regionfour:

You will need a copy of Cubic Ninja though.
New "New 3DS" units (Why must Nintendo be so terrible at naming things lately?) can come with System Versions both above and below 9.2. You can try comparing the serial numbers to get an idea of when it was manufactured, as that would determine what System Version is installed. There is a thread devoted to it at

im still problem with blue card and DS game? n3d3 9.0 FW not working, i tried everything and no chance to play old pokemon DS games
The Blue Card will be blocked by most System Versions. I forget exactly which one blocks it. It can be unblocked by installing BlueCardFix.cia (included in the Gateway download) or FlashCardTimeWarp.cia to sysNand. Once either of those two have been installed, the Blue Card should work just fine in sysNand (it will not work in emuNand).
Hello,
Can I backup my EMUNAND (with emunandtool) and inject this emunand to another 3DS? Or do I have to restore this emunand only on the same 3DS?
Nands, including emuNands, are linked to the console they are created on, and cannot be used with any other console. Is there something specific you are trying to do? We might be able to offer a different solution if you tell us more about your desired result.
