Classic Mode is only used to play your retail games, GW Mode patches the system firmware to allow launching games from the GW red cartridge.

@Alexiox Gateway acts as a proprietary custom firmware (abbreviated to 'CFW' for short) to patch the firmware to use the Gateway red cart as a game cartridge. Other flashcarts such as the Sky3DS acts as an optical drive emulator or ODE that tricks the 3DS into believing that its booting from a legitimate cart. The Sky3DS will not boot homebrew, only encrypted 3DS retail ROMs. The Gateway on the other hand, does both.

There's source code to communicate with the GW red card's microSD slot. https://github.com/shinyquagsire23/gwcard

Basically luma will get overwritten when you boot Gateway, if I understood well
Well that's a point to begin with...

i think i have already an idea though dunno if it is possible...
Also at this point I think I need a team🤣, too much work...
But that's when the fun begins

P.S. I added link for the nightly build, be careful they can be unstable...

Hi, everyone i need a video if the booting process of the gw3ds, cause well I don't have one,so if someone is willing to make one, I'd be very grateful, cause it will save me more time...
Thanks for the attention.
 
News, testing twl emunand patch yes not broken anymore at this much, halfway through cid patch for nand and possibly found a way to make gateway works(stiil idea) if you want to test them (no it won't arm😁 your 3ds...) I will leave them here the link, or yiu can loin the group for a more interactive way

These a first attempt to execute dsi and maybe even ds game from sd card, there are two version one with more feature and one basic that has only redirection patch, for better compatibility use with cfw from that has the patch twl for it, one day it will be merged into it... but for now they are complementary.

update: uploaded most of the code except arm9 side still working on it
PS: if you're experiencing problem with rosalina please delete Extra_config.ini in luma folder, lt should fix that and don't use the standby patch led off for now it makes app crash, still investigating
please use the hotfix version and update if you're still experiencing that crashes...
thanks

Little announcement
Emunand fixed
Though I will not post a full release yet
If you want use It grab a nightly
Post automatically merged:

Also if you want to use it on twl
You'll need also twl sd redirection patches and obviously also having games installed on twl emu side since sysnand won't technically be used...(not tested yet)
So if you need something info or support write here or on discord group.
Have a good evening
