Hacking A few question about gateway

[ghostdini]

Seems to be a common misconception that emunand is needed for firmware spoofing. It is not.
Gateway mode already spoofs the firmware (ie. you can run games that are >4.5 firmware without updating).
The main purpose of emunand is actually so that you can access the eshop and such.
Unfortunately, due to a new save encryption, it's not possible to create an emunand of the latest version. Since the latest firmware is required to run eshop, emunand is somewhat useless at the moment.
Coming back to pokemon x/y. It requires 2 patches from the eshop. Patches which you can't get. However, that only means you can't use the online features. The rom itself should still boot (not 100% on this though)

And no, the emunand partition only takes up 1gb. I'm using a 8gb card myself so I'm certain that 16gb isn't required.

thanks a lot for the help man, I really appreciate it, I been playing hard on my 3ds for days.

One last question though. Can I run multikernal (for the emulators) and gateway on the same sd card? do I need to reinstall gateway now since I formatted the card that gateway was on.

Yeah you can use the same microsd card in both gateway carts as long as it's formatted to fat32.

I'm talking about the blue card. can I have the multikernal and gateway installer on the same sd thats in the blue card?
won't they interfere with each other? because from my understanding I have to install gateway all over after using multikernal.

Just put the multikernel on the blue card. It includes the gateway installer, you can run it from the multikernel menu.
