someboydy got this email.

2.0 won't support those firmwares.

We do not know when our software for firmware 5.x and 6.x will be ready, but we
are working on it and will be released as soon as fully tested.
It requires some work that can't be counted in hours of engineering, because
programming is not like that. It can by anywhere from 1 week to 3 months.
Meanwhile, we repeat it again and again: do NOT update your firmware.

Our sincere apologies for the delay to answer your email. With this soon coming
2.0 release, we have been flooded with email, and work, and we have been a bit
behind answering everyone. We should be back to speed soon!

The Gateway doesn't support 5.x and 6.x firmwares, it only runs them via emuNAND - you still need a 4.x 3DS to boot the Gateway in the first place.

is it listed as the "GW_testrom.3ds" on the site? i dont see a link to download the beta version.


Due to a complaint filed by the Dream Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) I am afraid GBAtemp cannot directly link to that file. The source site I mentioned does have a link available, though it is up to the user to find. It's honestly not difficult. :P

to play zelda i should perform a NAND backup, and update it?
OMG so nervous, available to 4.1-4.5 only, right?

Zelda runs without messing with the NAND. I'm still on 4.3 and booted Zelda fine. No forced updates or anything.. at least, not from the ROM I'm using. To be clear, I'm talking about Zelda ROM - I don't have a Zelda cartridge.

1. Backup emuNAND.
2. Backup 3DS SD card to PC.
3. Format emuNAND.
4. Boot into emuNAND mode.
5. Update 3DS.
6. Play games.

Playing Legend of Zelda on 6.3 ATM.

EDIT: Hold L and then press "Nintendo DS Profile Settings" then prepare to be amazed.

thanks i forgot about the L.


i just came all over the room.

Strangely you have to enter the URL without the "www." to see the latest updates.
It's possible that your browser cached it up as a new website when you didn't type www. in the beginning of the address. Just clear your cache, people - the update is there. ;)

What are the 2 NAND save games that aren't working? I know AC is one of them, MH4 or Pokemon being the other?

Everything works as intended. emuNAND working like a charm, eShop access, and just about to try out Kid Icarus to see if I can go online.

Taking ages to do the system update. Don't rememeber legit updates taking so long. Maybe the lexar card that came with the xl is just shit or maybe I don't remember update times (not done in a long time).

Really, it says right in the damn release notes


GW 2.0b1 enables up to date compatibility, barring only the 2 known NAND based titles and you people still ask does pokemon work.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
