Hacking Gateway 3DS 2.3b few questions

[4gionz]

Have you tried different SD cards, what SD are you using?

I am using the default 2gb card that came with the console. It works fine when I launch gateway mode but when I open the settings it's almost as if it resets it and it exits gateway mode...I'll see if I have another SD card but I don't think I do.

Sorry don't own a flashcart but I figured I might as well make sure your using a good sd card I've seen 3ds and gateway are finicky

1) Default 2gb sdcard is too slow for emunand, so you have to use another one.
2) When you exit settings, 3ds gets soft rebooted so it loses Gateway Mode features. You have to boot gateway mode again every time you exit gateway mode.
3) About installation process, if you want to use latest firmware, you must create emunand, because if you update your systemnand, even if in gateway mode, you will lose Gateway support.... So, if you want to install emunand, do that:
-Backup your SDCard on your computer.
-Open gateway menu (DS profile+ L) and select "format emunand". Now your sd card will get formatted.
-Now, if you boot gateway mode, it will automatically load emunand.
-Put your sd card on computer and copy your files back to your sdcard.

To update, do that:
-Open Gateway mode (emunand), go to settings and set up wifi connection.
-Exit settings. You come back to sysnand.
-Now, remove wifi connection from sysnand.
-Boot emunand. Open settings and when you're sure that there's " GW3D" near system version on the top screen, you can update your console.

You can copy savefiles, 3ds and dcim folder. But you can't copy emunand. So if you want to keep your emunand, you have to extract is using emunand tools (google it, you can find it on gbatemp). When you put new sdcard on your 3ds, reformat emunand and then put your sdcard in your computer to restore your emunand using emunand tools...
