So I finally got a New 3DS XL by selling my Old 3DS XL today, and I have a Gateway. Unfortunately, the New 3DS came with 9.5 even though it was brand new in the box. Is there any way for me to use my Gateway at all, or even rxTools?
Aw man, I'm really dissapointed now haha. I guess I just have to wait until an exploit comes out from the Gateway team. In terms of what smea is revealing, will it have any hope in giving me a way to make my Gateway work?Nope. The only thing you can use is Sky3DS and ninjhax 2.0 and whatever smealum is up to next which the requirements should be stated a couple hours from now. It's also worth noting that, for now, even if you did get a 9.0-9.2 New 3DS XL you'd still need Cubic Ninja to make it so you could use your gateway.
To be fair, so does Gateway if the system was <= 9.2...I actually did get it from Walmart, all because GameStop had the nerve to offer me $15 for my Pokemon X 3DS XL. My friend who owns a store himself gave me $50 for it, and i used that, some money in my bank account and a Walmart giftcard to get it. The box and everything is sitting on my bed, as is the receipt. So I could return it, but I'm not sure. As bad as I want to use my Gateway, I know I can always wait. It is pretty upsetting though.
From what I read, smea's freehax is gonna require Cubic Ninja or OOT3D anyway so I guess I wouldn't be able to use it.

Bad idea. If OP ever needs a warranty repair, OP already lose the warranty. Also if in the future, they find out, the 3DS is likely got banned by Nintendo. Why? There is a chance another GBAtemp member may buy the sticker-swapped 3DS. Knowing the 3DS has been used, he/she will return it and report it. The 3DS then returned to Nintendo and be looked at.Go to a local store (use the serial number thread https://gbatemp.net/threads/n3ds-xl-firmware-by-version-number.381479/ ) and buy a new 3ds (same color). Get home, open the box, use a hair drier (hot) to remove the serial stickers and replace them then return the above 9.5 fw version 3ds.
True, It was just an option. Not saying it was the best one. Back in the white-xbox-360 days when Microsoft didnt know how to cool a console I ended up burning 4 xbox 360s, and at the end I only bought just one.Bad idea.
