Is this the correct or easy way to install CFW? I know it's not legal to post the link to DevMenu_2x.cia so I did a Google search and was able to find it. I placed the DevMenu_2x.cia or BigBlueMenu.cia on the big SD card. I then placed the DevMenu_2x..3ds or BigBlueMenu.3ds on the micro sd card or the red Gateway card. I went into Gateway mode and launch BigBlueMenu.3ds and drilled down to the BigBlueMenu.cia on the big SD card and install it. I did see it installed successfully. My question is that the correct way to install CFW?
If you have a Gateway already, there's literally zero benefit to using the 4.x CFW. Or am I misunderstanding your first post?
To answer the question though, once you have the devmenu installed, you're good to go. Having a Gateway makes it easier, yes, but it's still pointless to use the leaked CFW after that.

I guess I just like it to be there in case someone created a homebrew app that can play 3ds or iso file in the future just like how the USB Loader GX can load iso file on the Wii. If that happen, we no longer need MT-Card or Gateway card.
The closest solution to that right now is the leaked CFW, but even that has issues (stuck on 4.x firmware, can't play games above around 6.x firmware, unstable when booting it, can't play retail carts above whatever your current firmware is, due to no spoofing, etc.). Flash carts are the only really viable solution right now, until someone releases a newer CFW (or improves the old one). I wouldn't get your hopes up though. The 3DS scene is more or less the same as the old infant PS3 scene; infested with DRM devices and shadow groups who keep things to themselves for one reason or another. The Wii and PSP were the last great homebrew scenes, in my opinion. I just hope the future proves me wrong.
P.S.: By shadow groups, I'm not referring to the nice devs like StapleButter and Drenn, Rinnegatamante, etc. Those who do share homebrew and their findings.

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
