I think there was a .3ds dump of that game.

They do now.

Are you talking about Super Mario Bros. Deluxe or .cia files? I thought that there was just a .3ds dump of SMBD.

 

[Joe88]

They do now.

seems there was another version was uploaded today
this is a eshop dump and does apparently work where as the previous was a 3dsware dump in the .cia format which doesnt work

well I hope they can dump the ambassador titles soon

How would GBA titles work?

I'm still on Gateway 1.2 but considering updating to 2.1. I'm just a little concerned that once you're on it you're stuck for good. Do you think this is a risk worth taking? If there were no more future updates from Gateway and another cart was produced which was better would it be possible to use it instead? Is there anything else I should be considering before updating? Thanks.

Once with 2.1 you never go back!

Haha because you can't or because you don't want to?

Even if Gateway never releases another update, this is still the superior firmware to use. The only real reason for you to be wary of updating is how their previous release had brick code that screwed a bunch of people, and we don't know how safe this one is. First people said there was no brick code, then people said there was, etc. I've used 2.1 a bunch and never had any problems, but there were a lot of people who used 2.0b2 and didn't have any problems, so it's up to you.

Thanks, this is a good point. I haven't seen any reports of bricks from the skimming I've been doing so far since release and I'm unsure of how much more time to give it before deeming it safe.

How would GBA titles work?

The Super Mario Deluxe game looks to be a Gameboy Color game. I have 2 dowloaded Gameboy VC games that work on emuNAND. Only the DSI and GBA games do not work.

Seems Gateway Omega has "some" online capabilities in games. Such as in New Leaf (animal crossing). I just received a gift in the post office by checking for downloadable content.

So things that only involve querying a server might work.

... Spotpass still works. It's online play itself that doesn't,

I wasn't aware that the downloadable content was done through spotpass.

It doesn't, but you can get dlc etc for games just not access online services

Speaking of Gateway Omega. It appears that going into Gateway Mode isn't 100% crash proof. It just happened to crash on me when entering gateway mode, had to reboot the 3DS. Saw all kinda awesome stripes, just like on the old beta days.

I was getting them quite a bit for awhile on 2.1Ω, until I upgraded my 8GB SanDisk to a 16GB PNY. They are both class 4 cards. I don't know if it was the SD cards themselves, the fact that I reformatted the PNY with SDformatter v4 before using it for this, or extracting and injecting the emuNAND with emuNAND tool. That leads me to believe the crashing has something to do with the SD cards.

Using 32GB Class 10 myself.

Main culprit for launcher crashes is the 3DS'S SD not the gateway micro SD
