Is there a way I can play my pokemon x game with my 4.5 3DS and a r4i 3DS gold ?
I know I can't play the rom, I have the cartridge

Quick question about sysNAND. I've been using my Gateway for about a month or so on a 4.4 3DS with no problems so far, but I've seen a few threads suggesting that 4.5 is optimal. Would it be worth updating, and if so what benefits are there? I have a retail Fire Emblem: Awakening (E) which I believe has 4.5 on it so I guess it would be easy, just thought I'd get some opinions first. (Also if I were to do this, would I need to go through the process of installing Gateway with the blue card again?)

Cheers.

no benefits, no extra functions etc. sure you can update to 4.5, but you don't need to.
you probably would have to install the profile exploit again :) so if that is a problem, don't do it. but, there is no reason to do it anyway, unless you just want to be like everyone else on 4.5 ;)

well... sure it could be, it is hard to tell with these things.
i would personally format it again, copy one rom, see if it works. try a different rom?
and then sure, maybe your microsd card does have some problems... see if you have another micro sd.
if your roms are less than 4GB, you can format the microsd as fat32 (but this cannot hold files bigger than 4GB) - maybe that might help (but i don't think so... :( )

if you are desperate, you can use the gateway image writer to write one rom to the sd card, it will still work with the newer flash card update :) (but of course, only one rom)

when i got my gateway i made sure to buy a 'good' micro sd card, some are cheap, copies, maybe slow.. etc
Thanks for replying! I think there was an issue with the microSD itself. I tried another and multirom is working now! Wohoo! :grog:

Alrighty, well since there are no benefits and it's working fine I'll just leave it as it is for now. Thankyou for your response. :lol:

Since the Pokemon games use Nand saving, will I run into any issues not having EmuNAND?... Or if I decide to get EmuNAND later on once 8 is available, will that effect any saves?

apart from the minor little fixes, or whatever nintendo did change from 4.4 to 4.5 - (System stability improvements and other adjustments) they always say this if it is just something behind the scenes - yeah you will be ok :) it's not like it fixes some ground breaking bug etc

The whole "NAND saving" name is a bit confusing for some.....the game isn't saved to the system NAND the difference between card1 and card2(NAND-save) games is simply that card 1 have a rom chip and a save chip inside the card, card2 has only 1 chip which performs both functions, so the save is wrote to the same chip that the rom is stored on

Tldr There will be no issues from using it without emunand

Hey guys. I got a question about Pokemon X/Y (Im sure youve had ton of them allready)
So the lates R4i release lets me convert a Card2 to Card1, and when i run Pokemon Y it says its trying to create a data and then it proceeds to crash. But on the video demonstration for MultiRom the guy got Pokemon X to run. So i was wondering, if i were to borrow my friend`s upgraded 3ds, insert the SD-Card that holds launcher.dat for my 4.5 3ds, Run pokemon X and create a save data, and then put the sd-card back on the 4.5 3ds. Would pokemon X work on my 4.5 3ds? Or is the 3ds like ps3 where the save data has an id for the spesific console its saved on? Thanks

Way off the mark, if your friends 3ds is updated how do you plan to use the R4 card on it, basically the R4 team being masters of mis-information showed Pokemon running knowing it would mislead people into thinking Pokemon works properly....truth is you can get it to load but you will not be able to save ever....so if you plan to just play Pokemon all the way through and never turn off the 3ds....go for it, but one crash or one flat battery and it's back to the start

To go about getting it to load you need to keep it as a card2 game inject a save created with a gateway or MT card, there is some in the Pokemon distribution thread with all the info and tools to inject the save
http://gbatemp.net/threads/way-to-distribute-the-removed-hidden-pokemon-from-power-saves.364150/

Also worth noting you will not be able to trade or battle anyone either as these features require you to save before you can access them......saving will result in a crash

I didnt mean the r4 card, but the actuall sd-card that comes with the 3ds when you buy it(where save datas,pictures etc is stored). I usually never turn off my 3ds, it has been on for about 2 months with the same game on as i allways let it charge when im done playing/battery running low. I will take a look in the pokemon distribution thread. Thanks for the info!

Hi!

For someone who wants to play DS and 3DS games but has a priority for DS first (currently using a GBA, enjoying old games), is it viable to buy a 3DS and go through possible difficulties of Flashcart compatibility, with the advantage of being up-to-date? I'm rather the guy who enjoys single-player games like Mario & Luigi, Zelda, Super Mario Series etc. so online-mode is not very important!

Thanks

First of all thanks for the help you could bring me. I'm from Perú, South America. I'm planning on getting a SuperCard DSTWO for my recently bought (yesterday lol) Nintendo 3DS XL. Since I know that the DSTWO is compatible even with the last system update (8.xxx) I've already updated my 3DS XL. My question is: Which flashcart dealers are the best to buy them from? They should have worldwide shipping and have strong reputation. I understand that this kind of shippings take a month or more to arrive so I'm more worried about being scammed than having to wait. From all the dealers I've checked 3ds-flashcart.com is my option right now but I want to know your opinions first. Thanks a lot! :)
