Lol sorry
I will try again. I renamed the GW.3dsx to boot.3dsx to coldboot into GW Emunand. But since the homebrelauncher.cia uses the boot.3dsx file too I cannot run the normal HB-Menu inside Emunand.
So I was wondering if there is a way (besides using CTRBootManager) to keep the GW-File named boot.3dsx and run the HomebrewLoader.cia correctly with a different file name (e.g. bootHBL.3dsx).

(I hope this makes more sense now, but it still seems to be hard to understand even for me lol damn you English!)

Are u using menuhax?

OK got it, thanks.
Last question. FirmLaunch is disabled by default in pasta? Sorry for maybe stupid question, but I never used CFW before (I don't need it).
You can disable it in the Pasta Menu just make sure it says firmlaunch:No

ninjhax -> HBL -> PastaCFW (with firmlaunch disabled, make sure of that) or rxTools Pasta Mode -> ninjhax -> HBL -> sysupdater
I'm pretty sure it doesn't work when launched without CFW.
It must be installed to sysnand with rxtools dev mode. Otherwise you'll screw up and brick your system. Do not ever use gw mode or any sort of classic/emunand mode at all. Or else you will have a lovely brick.

Good news, but i've got my O3DS 4.5 so not realy usefull to me ^^, profile exploit will still be my best option, still, great news to hear :)
Except that it isn't the best option (well it isn't the worst, the worst is the browser one) since it means you are using old keys for your savegames, which means your saves basically only work on your 3DS or another 3DS that uses the same configuration (GW on 4.5). So whenever you want to switch to a New 3DS for example you'll face compatibility problems.

I managed to get the Homebrew Launcher on my 9.0 N3DS sysnand. I installed menu hax but didn't manage to do the "no button" method, I have to hold L at boot to launch GW.

I heard of a boot.cfg file, where do I have to put it on my sd card ? thx

Saves can be decrypted with relative ease now though.

If someone can post a convenient RAR with all the files we would need to auto boot Gateway 3.6.1 on a N3DS that would be nice :)

I did a time test with my phones stopwatch. I boot in about 35 seconds using Menuhax>GW.3dsx.
Just curious what others are getting?

Ok, you are using menuhax, here's what you have to do:

- Rename GW.3dsx to gate.3dsx (any 4 letters will work).
- Open your payload file (it's a bin file in root folder of your internal sd card) in a hex editor. http://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/
- Find/Replace boot.3dsx to gate.3dsx
- keep boot.3dsx file for HBL.

Let me know if doesn't work.

nice guess i can default back to GW now i can auto boot :)

i guess they will probably remove the downgrade option for 9.3+ consoles if they want to at least hold their monopoly for a while.....or at least force red card ownership this time

I meant best option for me, my 4.5 O3DS, i don't play much, so if i have to redo some games if one day i ever plan to take a N3DS, i wouldn't care that much ^^. and, there is no converter for <6.x saves to 6.x ?

I don't see how or why they would do this seeing as you can restore Nand backups by holding up when you select downgrade in the Gateway menu it not like they hold a monopoly or something.

Any help with this? Keep getting red-screened+freeze or boot.cfg cant be found
Code:
boot_config :
{
timeout = 0;
  autobootfix = 8;
  recovery = 9;
  default = 0;
entries =
    (
        {
                title = "miniPasta";
                path = "3ds/miniPasta/miniPasta.3dsx";
        },
        {
                title = "Gateway";
                path = "/3ds/GW/GW.3dsx";
                key = 0
        },
        {
                title = "Grid Homebrew Menu";
                path = "/bootgrid.3dsx";
        },
        {
                title = "Smea Homebrew Menu";
                path = "/bootsmea.3dsx";
        }
    );
};

  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa, Well, in that thread they say it's pretty much safe to manage save files back and forth to consoles as long as you don't go online with cheats activated or with a pirate game.
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    I own every of my games legit with their own cartridges
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    also, I'm not planning to use any cheats, etc, just continue the normal gameplay on the emulator
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It only gives a internet settings option then it spazes out
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @ATEMVEGETA if you use save from other switch you may be ok, but using a save from emulator to switch will prob get you banned
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Under ipv4/6
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    The save file will be created and started normally on the Switch's OFW with a legit game. Then that save file will be transfered to the emulator and continue the gameplay there. Then send it back to the console.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I feel like I need to touch @Sicklyboy rack to make it work at this point
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    The save file(s) would never be created first in an emulator
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Do you think continuing the story on the emulator would flag the save file as illegal? (Again no cheats, etc will take place, only normal story of the game progress)
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But still using the save on a emulator, then back to switch is shady
    +2
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Yea, that's the only thing I want to clarify actually. If someone has tried it with no problems.
    +1
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    If using the save on the emulator flags the save file. :/
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Again, "using" I mean normal gameplay not modify it with other means like pokehex, etc
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa, Can you help me clarify this thing somehow? Do you know someone that may know or have tried it?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just play it on the emulation at home and portable use the normal save, I wouldn't risk anything if online is important to you

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My psychiatrist tried to help me once said it was mine 9 months later

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Just ask in the forums if anybody has done it, I don't know of anybody who has, or would risk it.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
