Hacking List of all Gateway questions (9.2.0-20)

[medoli900]

i've been away from the scene for a while now and also seeing people aren't using gw3d anymore. I would like to setup my brothers o3ds 9.2 so that he can play cia homebrew etc etc, all the goods. what is the now go-to cfw or solution? thnx

If you really want to stay on 9.2, you have to use GW. If you want to use GW for on-the-fly cheat, don't install B9S, and follow the instruction on the GW website.

Edit: Oh, didn't see the other post :x

You can start from 9.2.

I've been away from the 3ds scene, and it seems like people have moved away from Gateway toward using a CFW, like Luma, is that correct? But it also looks like there are people that are using Luma and Gateway together. I don't understand why if it seems like CFW is the superior option. The guides I have read here are mostly showing how to do it, but not why you should to it. I guess I have the option to go either route, and just want to make sure what I should do before committing.

Simple GW have mSD card where you can store more games.
I have 128 card in RGWcard and for main 64 GB.
All space almost filled with games that I want.
Red one with big games, 3ds with little one like sudoku-picoross-online games.
What more GW have cheat functions.
Well, still waiting for GW update...
But I can use Luma and GW, sadly without updating father... For now.

Damn, I'm still in firmware 11.1 and I can't play online

Wanna be banned?

I followed the steps on https://3ds.guide/ and got Luma3Ds running. So, what can I do now?

I would like to put a gba title (Pokemon Puzzle Challenge), a couple of NDS titles, and whatever 3DS titles onto my 3DS. How do I do this? Do I have to place my .gba/.nds/.3ds games onto my SD card? Or can I get the games I want using some sort of app on the 3ds?

After going through the 3ds.guide walk-through, it seems like I still have access to my Gateway emuNand. Am I able to put games on my red card and use it like I have always did? Do I boot into gateway by going through the "Nintendo DS Profile" button? My sysNand is now running 11.5.0-38U. Gateway emuNand is running something lower than that.

These may seem like very basic/stupid questions, but it wasn't mentioned on the guide, so I just like to be cautious.

I'm actually confused about your post. Are you wanting to get games running on luma or gateway?

You shouldnt be able to launch gateway if your sysnand is on 11.5. Does pressing select open the gateway menu?

I want games on Luma. I had intended to use gateway for the games already on there, but it sounds like that is no longer possible. It's just that, now that I have Luma3DS installed (and like 4 CIAs) I don't know what do do now...

all games need to be in .cia format except for ds games. ds games need .nds format

Install the .cia games with fbi

Look up twloader to play ds games

Install cias with FBI or use freeShop to download and install them on your console. For DS games you need a DS flashcart. If you still have your blue Gateway card, that will work. The DS emulator that is currently available doesn't work with most games and most of the ones it does work with are unplayable. So you really need a DS flashcart if you want to play DS games.

So is Gateway cards dead now? I notice there are no updates on their website for a while.

Fake, last news is from February

Yep I know their latest update is from February
I'm not sure myself whether those videos legit, but you can see he's running gateway rom selection, so I'd think it's running on actual gateway cfw. So is there a way to spoof firmware version number to 11.5 inside gateway?

 

[The Catboy]

Never trust youtube videos.
They haven't updated since February and thus Gateway won't work on 11.5. 11.3 and 11.4 added a NATIVE_FIRM requirement and 11.5 uses the 11.4 NATIVE_FIRM.
Although if these are real, they most likely went with this method

Not sure how I forgot about that method
I genuinely thought that the only reason it's possible is that maybe someone in their beta tester team made that video. My bad

One could dream, but something tells me their beta tester would most likely be running either A9LH or maybe B9S.
It looks like they went and made a usable frakenfirmware for 11.5 and are running that.

This is almost certainly the likely explanation. Which is unfortunate as there's already enough caveats with running a Gateway that Frankenfirmware didn't need to be added to that list, much less publicized in yet another irresponsible video =/

I haven't touched my o3DSXL in years, I have a Gateway + 4.5 original firmware on it. It is safe to say I'm better off going with some CFW variant and dumping the gateway altogether?

Yes. Just follow https://3ds.guide from the beginning. If you have save files you'd like to extract let me know and I'll tell you what to do (don't follow the guide yet).

It depends.
You can't play .3ds backup on updated firmware and we still don't have any real time RAM modification in-game.
