Hacking ANNOUNCING: GATEWAY 2.0 “OMEGA” PRIVATE BETA

[Pedeadstrian]

In the beta download there is a quick guide which shows 128gb sd card with exFAT and 32gb card with Fat32 . Can we format a 32gb card with exFat to get 4gb games on it?Or is there a minimum size limit on exFat format?

It might not be natively available in Windows/whatever OS you're using, but you can format it with a program if it doesn't work.

Also can we use exfat + emunand on the same card?
A small updated bug list on the first post would be great so people can see the problems and maybe links to the solutions if there are any.

exFAT is for the microSD that goes in the Gateway Red Card while the emuNAND is stored in the 3DS SD, so your question makes no sense. Unless you're referring to formatting the internal SD as exFAT in which I case there's simply no benefit and probably no native support in the 3DS either.

Google is your friend.

just one more question; i succesfully upgraded to 2.0 beta,
when i enter store it asks for update.

Is it safe to update from the systemmenu in GWmode to the latest firmware?
i know its not safe to update from the store.

Just to be sure i won't screw things up

Sorry if this has been answered or I'm just doing something wrong. But when I go to the Nintendo DS Profile and hold L, it takes me straight into Gateway mode, instead of letting me choose it. I wanted to backup some games but all it does is instant Gateway mode. Is this normal? lol.

I think they now reversed how pressing L works: now pressing nothing will take you to the GW menu, instead of the other way around. At least according to videos nobody had to press anything to bring up the menu.

I think if you have the gateway card inserted it will take you straight into gateway mode but if you dont the menu will come up.

Yes it safe to update from the settings menu (make sure you see the text GW3D beside the firmware number) - in fact i just updated my emuNAND to the newest firmware 7.1.0-16

 

[lozislove]

Not having the card in worked. thanks for the replies! Although attempting to back up Sonic Generations I keep getting an error. Might try with a different game later. Anyone else get weird lines on both screens when entering Gateway mode sometimes?

To quote my own post again:

"OK, I followed it."

It's still not working. Am I meant to be seeing a new menu after launching launcher.dat through DS profile? Is there a special way to launch games?

Launcher.dat needs to go on the SD card not the red card

[AdamToTheApple]
