Hacking GATEWAY: Release coming soon

[masterzero]

Maybe the new launcher has something that they don't want to show yet.

Like some new brick code that will kill clones once and for all by making the console explode and kill the owner and possibly their family by burning down the house ?

 

[Snailface]

Notice how in the video it was already booted into GW mode (something that has never happened in any other preview video). Also, they said "We are currently in the process of wrapping it up in a nice Launcher file" so my guess is we're getting a completely new GW menu and other new features to accompany the 7.x and 8.x encryption feature shown in the video. It probably wont even be called OMEGA anymore. Probably just 3.0. I also emailed them about incorporatinga "list view" in their multirom so who knows what we could get.

EDIT: Anyone else peep'd the BirdMania 3D in their multirom menu (0:52) AND as a standalone app (1:40) on the 3DS? It might mean nothing but it would be awesome if we could install eshop roms onto the 3DS itself in emunand.

Good catches. Also notice there is no NNID sign in for the eshop which further enhances speculation about GW using a hacked custom ehsop app. The 'present' app is also steel diver: sub wars fwiw.

Shot them an email, hoping they finally fix GBA VC games .

 

[hundshamer]

I hope they fix GBA emulation. It would be wonderful to play all my ambassador games! Plus they can't claim 100% ROM compatibility without it. Dumping of eShop games would be awesome too!

EDIT: Ninja'd by sonic2756! LOL

They won't. GBA emulation controlled by other firmware inside 3DS. It needs different hack.

If I remember correctly, redNAND had GBA fixed. It's not impossible, just improbable.

 

[MichiS97]

I hope they will support save decryption and resigning, I'd love to use PKHeX

Awesome news

Very nice.
Just in case Nintendo does decide to release another update now, I already made an EmuNand 8.1 update on a SD card.

can you please explain how to do this?

 

[Rizzorules]

He connects to the internet, the 3ds download 8.xx, he uses the emunand tool to extract the Nand from the Sd card to his computer and if the 3DS downloads 0.9 he will just need to inject Emunand to his sd card and update to 0.8

make a backup of your current emunand, update the emunand to 8.x, make a backup of that emunand, too, restore old emunand with "emunand tool", keep the 8.x backup for later

Buying stuff on the eShop doesn't require an NNID, but downloading free stuff does.

 

[adragon123]

ahh thanks i didnt know that there was an emunand extracting tool

 

[noki@]

Having something working under certain (for us unknown) conditions does not mean it's ready for release.

LOL I know, but I just want to play Pokemon x without worrying about my save data and playing online.

so if nintendo releases a 9.0 update that 8.1 emunand backup will only be useful for playing the 8.x ecrytped games right?
edit: also, what happens in emunand when youre in 8.x without it being supported?

Yeah I am wondering the same thing, would firmware spoofing not allow us to play those games even if it goes up to 9.0 and its unsupported? Are they saying the new features (if this is Omega 3.0 or whatever) will not work unless we have emunand 8.0+? I thought emunand was ONLY to use the eshop basically? So if they already come out with 9.0 wouldnt even an 8.0 emunand be no different than 4.5 emunand?

 

[CFallenleaf]

Well you think if gateway had AR support they would have shown it in the teaser..... mt card did something original.... wow......

Now its time for gateway to steal some code cause we all know mt is gonna steal the 7.2 encryption. Lol. Hopefully gw will have ar and gba support soon afterwards.

 

[GorTesK]

we can only speculate for now, but it probably wont be necessary to actually have a 8.x emunand to play the new games as firmware spoofing SHOULD take care of that, but who knows, can't hurt to be extra safe and sure... also, I collect emunand backups from every version, never know, when it could be handy to have an older backup ^^

Alright thanks, thought I was losing my mind but assuming everything works how it has, it shouldnt be necessary.

Also, seems like if 9.0 came out before they released and you basically had to have 8.0+ emunand then they just wouldnt release it until they fixed it, but who knows.

 

[loco365]

Well, gonna update my emunand for now, and let it sit until the Gateway team releases this update. I don't use emunand terribly often, but at least it'll be ready when they are.
