Unless you've formatted the 3ds for Emunand while in the gateway menu (this deletes everything on your SD card) you would need to go into system setting to see if it says GW3D (note leaving system settings after checking for GW3D will kick you back into sysnand).

I have my Nads linked and simply made folders spelling out

S Y S N A N A N D
and
E M U N A N A N D
for their respective Nands
damn so every time i wanna go in emunand i have to format it and delete evrything?

no you just click boot gateway mode like normal with the red card in, formatting for Emunand is a 1 time deal.

Put it onto your sd card make a folder called CIA (so you can know where all your installable CIA's are) and install it through titlemanager then simply run it (the spooder app) and open the Eshop like you normally would and download anything you need.

Dont forget to boot gateway Sysnand mode first (Hold B while clicking boot gateway mode and when prompted Press X)

the eshop says that when i try download something i think my sd card is 2 or 4 gb
well at least you managed to get it working which is a good start. try to buy yourself a bigger SD card or delete titles from the SD card in the system settings menu you don't need including any CIA's you have already installed.

Yes this is what everyone does as installing updates as CIA's can become corrupt at times(people used CIA updates when they were desperate but now we can spoof eShop).
cause my gateway micro sd has 32gb on it so its propably better to download the games onto the micro sd then update off the eshop

it never ends now when i click select it says file system error.....
you mean to load a rom in the gateway pop menu? format the Microsd card using SDFormatter4 (turn format size adjust and full erase on) and drag the .3DZ rom into the root of the card. once the rom(s) are on the microsd right click on the drive its mounted on and eject it safely.

If you think your microsd card is fake or is dying on you, you can test it using h2testw
this will require a format and may be slow if you have a slow PC.
