Hacking Gateway 3.0 and the 2DS: Broken and Unusable

[momokok0]

Yup, 2DS user here and I'm forced to use .cia games because the red card constantly gives me errors.

I can confirm the problems.

I commented on the FAQ page but nobody else seemed to have the problems so began to think my Gateway cars is broken.

Seems like only very few people have a 2DS here.

Indeed i also thought i had a broken gateway card.
Today i runned the diagnostic tools with the new ultra 3.0.1
The results were good, no error, green light coming out of the top of the red card. This kinda indicates that the red card is working properly right?

Also, this is NOT an issue with the microSD. I've tried three different cards:

Sandisk 16GB, class 4 - Games didn't work at all
Samsung 16GB, class 10 - on FAT32: games load VERY slow, or don't load at all. Bug is still persistent
on exFAT: games load fast, all games load. However, Bug is still persistent
Transcend 32GB, class 10 - some games load, others do not. Bug is still persistent

The moment we realised for the first time that the Gateway has a LED.
It SHOULD by all means, mean that the Gateway is working.

Mine's wonky. All my games run on my 4GB microSD.

Could/Should be a 2DS issue.

this is a beta, re you emailing gateway with helpful information, like brand of sd card, firmware versions, games trying to load etc. etc. ?

GaryOPA has already mentioned that he's shared this news with the team. That should be a good amount of progress on letting them know this issue exists.

I bump this thread to give you my experience.

I didn't try all the games but everything's been working so far. I have been using it for one day and have 39 games on my SD card (formatted in exFat)

I'm using a Scandisk Ultra 16 GB class 10 30MB/s.

I hope this will help people who have been encountering issues with their 2DS.

Same position as me, huh. All but this one mSD we have works. In my case, it's a Toshiba 4GB Class 4.

I have been using the 2ds since the update dropped and haven't had a single issue.


Using 64 gig microsd and 64 sd both samsung pro cards.

Used this formatting guide for the 64 gig SD. http://lofi-gaming.org.uk/blog/2013...-upgrade-your-3ds-sd-card-to-64gb-and-beyond/

we will try this

I also formatted in regular 3ds mode to "unlink" or whatever.

Just make sure your SD card is out before you do it and not on wifi.

it didnt work , its there a way to install cia files without the red card? its that we only want to install the big blue menu to run the cias even with the gateway

Once you manage to get gateway to load devmenu, you can use devmenu to install devmenu, then use that devmenu to install while only needing gateway to boot.

thats what we are trying but we tried with every type of micro sd that i have and it doesnt boot the dev menu
