You can try the Ace3DS+ wood kernel. It works with the GW3DS, too and has better compatibility.

Could kiss you right now dude. It works perfect.

KIRBY TIME BABY!

I tried that. I replaced the kernel with Ace3DS+ kernel, put a single test NDS ROM in "Games" and moved my Blue Cart files to a folder on the same microSD card. It didn't work. In fact, it isn't even recognized as a Gateway card when I try. And of course, if I try to use the latest version of the blue cart software the "Deep Labyrinth" icon appears even in Gateway mode, but attempting to use it within Gateway mode freezes.

For now at least it's nice to be able to play DS games on the blue cart without any problems, but if I want to use a ROM with Pokemon transporter I will need to find a way to get that to work in EmuNAND. I know this is an old thread, but are there any updates on that possibility?

I just acquired gateway card(s) red & blue. I already have O3ds 9.2 SysN, 10.5 EmuN, So I really don't need the Gateway. But read somewhere that I could play DS games with the blue card from Sysnand somehow? I have old DS with R4 card And would like to play all of them on the 3ds :)

Noob question maybe but any walkthrough on that? Without downgrade or anything like that, I Like my 3ds boot to emunand via Themehax on 9.2 SysN. Is it even possible on my system without downgrading?

So I got it working, installed the CIA fix in rxtools->pasta mode in sysnand. Then downloaded R4 wood 1.62 from http://www.r4wood.com/pages/wood-r4-kernel.html

It would not boot (said cant find _DS_MENU.DAT so I downloaded a modified _DS_MENU.DAT for gateway card. Now it boots and games seem to work. But for some reason all text is missing from the nds rom select menu. It is just icons. Infoboxes are also empty. ITs very hard to know the games, many marios have almost same icons. So text would be nice.

tried to empty my sd card with panasonic sd formatter, and moved roms and _dsemu.dat and _rpg folder back. same result. I have 32GB sd card. Any help on how to make the text appear :)

EDIT: Got it working. FYI

__rpg folder->
globalsettings.ini
langDirectory = English
uiTheme (or something) = zelda
