Hacking Is there a way to undo changes made by a gateway to 3ds software?

[CIAwesome526]

in case i needed to get rid of it for whatever reason, willl it leave some mark on system software, or can i safely get rid of it? i think updating would do it, but i dont know, and i dont want to mess with my ds and break it...

Not sure really. I'm not sure if Gateway leaves traces on the system nand outside of the modified DS profile it uses to load the exploit itself, most of what gateway does is on the emulated nand on the SD card, and playing a DS game and not redoing the exploit installer afterwards is enough to remove the DS profile exploit, so unlesss the person who buys it off of you is smart enough to poke around in sysnand I doubt anyone but Nintendo's maintenance techs would be able to tell you did anything.

thanks, playing a ds game resets the exploit? i didnt know that.

Yeah, playing DS games 'fixes' the DS profile back to how it's supposed to be.

im guessing using the installer cart for ds games doesnt reset it

it does

What GW exploit are you referring to?

 

[CIAwesome526]

it does

hmm thats to bad, seems like lots of work to reinstall it evrytime, i like my ds games, like super mario 64 ds. ill just have to use one of the other 4 ds's i carry around...

 

[CIAwesome526]

What GW exploit are you referring to?

umm i guess ultra

 

[tony_2018]

If its ultra just remove the launcher.dat file

it's not that bad plus it's still the easiest way to install the ds profile exploit.

why does the version of gw exploit matter (i don't think it does...)

wait, what other ways are there to install it?

none

4.5 used a ds exploit did it not? Thats why I was trying to figure out what he was after. If its just putting everything back to stock just remove the exploit and the emunand from the SD card

To remove all trace of Gateway (assuming that you're using the DSmode exploit) then just run a DS game. Doesn't matter if it's retail or a flash cart. You can easily install it again if needed (you can even use an R4 if you lose the blue gateway card). And remove the launcher.dat obviously. If you're using the browser exploit then don't even worry about it, just remove the launcher.dat.

you can install it with an r4? if so why cant the r4 support 9.2? and whats the browser exploit?

Thats interesting.

ok i looked up the browser exploit, if you use this to install the gateway stuff, playing ds games doesnt get rid of the thing? and deleting the launcher.dat removes all the emuNAND stuff too?

 

[tony_2018]

deleting the launcher.dat file does not remove emunand. You have to manually delete that as well. Thats I use separate SD cards just for this type of thing that you're trying to do.
