@Hayleia is the one that made this. So I can't answer this.

OK, thanks for the reply anyway.

Guide updated to have instructions for B9S. Credits updated as well.

I am still leaving the warning at the top. Cauuuuuuse, just cause.

Arnold101 · May 22, 2017

thank youuuuuuuuuuuuu! works perfectly

eco95 · May 22, 2017

Thank you so much for this awesome and useful tutorial!

GW 11.2 is working with B9S now~ Thank you so so much again!

Any word on boot times with this? Seems like loading 3 apps rather than the one I do on a9lh v1 would be a little slower.

About 20-23~ seconds fully booted to Home Menu. N3DS & o3DS. Add more time if you're loading a .3DS game as soon as you land there.
N3DS Info:
Samsung EVO 64GB Micro SDXC - 3DS SD Card w/ GW EmuNAND.
SanDisk Ultra 32GB Micro SDHC - GW mSD Card.
o3DS Info:
SanDisk Ultra 32GB Micro SDHC - 3DS SD Card w/ GW EmuNAND.
SanDisk Ultra 32GB Micro SDHC - GW mSD Card.

Thanks. I actually have the exact same SD card setup so ran my own test. Although I'm booting into Sysnand, my N3DS (a9lh v1 with GW.bin only) still took a little under 20 seconds to boot into GW Mode so the difference seems to be minimal at best since Emunand is slightly slower anyway.

I have an N3DS that was running 11.2, Luma and Gateway emunand. It was on A9LH v1 until last night when I took it off the charger for the first time in a month and discovered my SD card had taken a shit. I had a backup of the contents, but not the emunand. While I was waiting for the replacement card I decided to update Luma and load B9S, no troubles there. I got the new card and used Emunand9 as a .firm to rebuild the emunand, then followed this guide to get GW launching. The GW launches fine and I see the dragon and can reach the menu, but every time I try to launch into emunand through gateway I get a black screen and nothing else. However I can use Luma to boot into the sysnand and the emunand fine.

Anyone know where I fucked up or what tree I need to bark up?

Awesome! Worked on the first try. I could kiss you right now! :wub:

I was so afraid that Boot9Strap would kill my Gateway for good. Many, many thanks! :-)

It needs to be an EmuNAND. Not a RedNAND. GW does not support RedNAND. You probably created a RedNAND.

Ya'll think I should do this or wait to see what Gateway's official option is?

If it's anything like GW-A9LH. Then, yeah good luck getting the community to help you out with anything.

I'm sorry, but you should know by now, just how toxic the community can get when it comes to GW.

It doesn't help, that they never updated their A9LH payload to work with v2+ A9LH forks, and we will be lucky if we get a proper .firm payload.

Anyways, at the end of the day, it's on you what you decide to do. Wait or, use this workaround.

I didn't think I was using rednand. To make sure I booted back into Emunand9 and cloned to sysnand to enunand. It said I already had an enumand, but I went ahead and did it anyway. I got the same thing, saw the dragon then went to a black screen and had to hold the power button down for ten seconds to power back off.

I tried this.
My config:

;Comments starts with ";" or "#", so you need to remove it first to the
;line actually do something.

;configuration with ascii boot Image
;You have also 1 sec to press the button for the payload you want to boot
[BOOTCTR9]
key_delay = 1000
#boot_splash = 3
enableAutosoftboot = 1
enableArm9CompanionBoot = 0

;Section to allow a9lh net companion payload auto booting
[COMPANION]
path = /a9nc.bin
delay = 100
offset = 0
payload = -1

[DEFAULT]
path = /gatewait.bin
screenBrightness = 0x30
screenEnabled = 1
delay = 1000

[KEY_A]
path = /gatewait.bin
screenBrightness = 0x30
screenEnabled = 1
delay = 1000

;luma with BootAnimation and enabled Pathfix
[KEY_Y]
path = /boot9strap/Luma3DS.firm
delay = 1000
#splash = 4
#splash_image = /Animations/anim
screenBrightness = 0x30
enablePathFix = 1

[KEY_B]
path = /boot9strap/GodMode9.firm
screenBrightness = 0x30
delay = 1000

;cakes.dat with splash screen and offset
#[KEY_R]
#path = /Cakes.dat
#delay = 1000
#offset = 0x12000
#splash = 3
#splash_image = /Splashes/splash.bin

;Reinand.dat with offset and ascii splash
#[KEY_DUP]
#path = /ReiNand.dat
#delay = 1000
#offset = 0x12000
#splash = 1

;Each key can be defined using a section, like the example below. Section
;names must be ALL caps, and between "[]". Valid keys:
;You MUST set at least "path" for each section, and it is the ONLY option you
;should set in the majority of cases.
;Double check the path, since it must be correct (including caps).
;Boot examples for almost every CFW out there.
;You can use only binary (.bin, .dat) payloads
;[KEY_A]
;path = /rxTools/sys/code.bin
;[KEY_B]
;path = /Cakes.dat
;[KEY_Y]
;path = /ReiNand.dat
;An important remark: the majority of CFWs set L button to show menu instead
;of autobooting. So it is generally a bad idea to set L button to CFW boot,
;but if you use a delay, you have time to release the key so the CFW menu will
;not be shown.

Yes the file is named gatewait.bin on root of SD. It seems to boot, the screen turns on the backlight, then turns it off, and stays that way (with a black screen all the way through), which seems consistent with my old setup, only the Gateway logo never appears.
What am I doing wrong?

Edit: For the record, both GodMode9 and Luma boot correctly with the relevant keypresses. Only Gateway refuses to boot.

I've set BootCtr9 as my primary payload, but that shouldn't matter, right? It should boot other payloads equally regardless of how it's booted.

EmuNAND9 should say GW EmuNAND at the bottom if this is true.

You have to use the "Complete EmuNAND Setup" option in EmuNAND9.

Is the file title Gateway.bin on the root of your SD Card, actually the v2gw.bin file?

Also, the v2gw.bin needs GW's a9lh.bin file to be in /luma/payloads/ and be named gateway.bin.

I named it gatewait.bin and placed it on the root. Does the folder really matter?
Edit: Nope, tried moving it and editing the config, no dice.
