So there are currently two ways to get into Gateway stuff, downgrading to 4.5 and using the profile exploit, or using the webbrowser exploit that requires an accesspoint.
Now i'm thinking about if I want to live with the savegame crypto (and maybe other?) problems and go with the downgrade, or do a kinda easy hardware mod.
Idea is to build an esp8266 module (image attached) into my 3DS-XL. There should be more than enough room, and the only thing I need would be a 3.3V point that can deliver up to 50mA (100mA bursts) for a short time (module would go to sleep after a while, so it doesn't drain the 3DS battery).
The esp8266 basically is a super cheap and tiny wifi module with integrated microcontroller, and I already got an http server with accesspoint working on it, and already got gateway launched that way. So the only thing I need to do this is basically some information on where I can get enough power (@3.3V) inside the 3DS-XL (ideally always on, even in standby, but not if device is powered off completely).
Also i'd be interested if you think this is a nice idea, so I created a little poll for you to vote
And please don't ask why I don't use $app, or carry something else with me, I kinda want my 3DS to be a dedicated device...
Edit: I've now actually done the hardware mod, see my post with picture here
