Hacking updated GW Nand but System updated instead !!

[satel]

ok thanks but what about newer retail roms ?

ok thanks but what about newer retail roms ?

I believe Zelda worked without having to do anything involving the EmuNAND. And that was a game based on a 5.X SDK.

 

[satel]

i know my question was about games requiring above 5.X SDK ?

 

[Nurio]

Games ABOVE 5.X? You mean 6.X? They don't exist.

I almost did the same thing, but I always check the version before updating.

if i understood his answer correctly he is saying you need emunand for games that require firmware above v 5... correct ?

I would like to know this as well. is emunand only for eshop or do I need it for future ROMs too?
I don't need to use streetpass or eshop, is it okay if I don't make a emunand?
seeing "OMG update gong wrong" thread everywhere is making me nervous

It's unknown whether the games that come out in the future will be able to run on 4.x system menu and software, however, the current 5.x roms are playable in the 4.x firmware in gateway mode, using their 2.0 software. The emuNand is kinda future proof because say a game comes out that needs 6.x to run, well you can already run gateway red card in GW 6.x so you should be able to run that game, and we shoudl be able to getget emunand working with system software above 6.x, so if a game needs a higher version, you should be able to emulate the newer version and play.

About OP's problem.. Why don't you just install a hardware nand flasher and flash your NAND.BIN that you backed up before you formatted your emunand?

hardware nand flashing is too much for my noob skills,i have zero experience with soldering,even taking the 3ds apart & putting back together is a mega challenge for me.

I feel ya man. You should check out my guide before you update your FW.

very useful guide thanks for the effort i just wish i found it earlier.

I made a post in that same topic and yes Zelda works just fine without EmuNAND. I am hoping that if they release games with 6.X SDK, Gateway will be able to find a way to patch them like they did with Zelda. I think EmuNAND will be almost useless after the next firmware update anyway because you wouldn't be able to access the eshop on 6.3. I am fairly certain the Gateway team would have to bypass any protection on that new firmware to allow you to update your EmuNAND to the latest number.

Not knowing what is going to happen kinda drives ya crazy huh?

You could ask around if someone from your region is willing to do it. Since a lot of tempers did the mod, your chances are high of finding someone who can do it.

can i please ask a question about this damn emunand method. do you really need it to play latest games ? the reason why i was updating is because i read a on the forum someone saying you will need nandemu if you want to play future v5+ games. is this true ?

It isnt Needed, Laucher has required Patches for SDK 5.x games work, its just an icon location thing,
Same Roms will play regardless in GW Mode (RealNAND, EmuNAND - Updated and Non Updated)
EmuNAND is mainly for Classic Mode for retail games and eShop only, The reason it updated is cause you went to Eshop, you went back to RealNAND, and updating through the eShop then will update the RealNAND, You arent the first to do it and probably arent the last

EmuNAND should update fine to next version, as its identical to original NAND, just patching on the fly, I can definately seee them adding new flags for things though to try and stop it

Regretfully it seems you didn't follow the instruction by the letter. When you left the system settings, you reverted back to System NAND, which was subsequently updated via eshop. You needed to update via the settings.

You can probably find someone to do a hardware flash for you; look for repair shops that specialise in jailbreaking. Well, technically a lot of people can probably do it for you, but you don't want them asking too many questions obviously.

 

[Purple_Shyguy]

You updated from eshop update prompt.

The guide clearly says update from system settings ONLY

 

[satel]

i sold it.

 

[razielleonhart]

i sold it.

did the same thing i sold my like new Aqua 3ds *did not want to get rid or it* for $120 to some human on craigslist and bought a red/black one brand new from my friend for $165 *black friday sale* and it was at 4.4

 

[satel]

red/black is this XL version ? i had one but i prefer the standard 3ds because the image quality is tighter more sharper. how you finding the difference ?

yeah its the XL. i love the XL i bought the Zelda Gold one and its hard to go back to the smaller one. But i dont care for the Black/Red but it works with my gate-way so i will deal with it
