Hacking Would it be safe to buy a gateway now and hope it works on 9.4+ in the future?

I stupidly bought the 9.4 Majora's Mask new 3ds, so now I'm sol. I have a regular 3ds still on 9.2, so I was thinking about just buying a gateway now and using it on the regular 3ds, and wait for 9.4 to be cracked sometime in the future. Is this likely?

If you have a old 3ds your gw wont be useless, but since you have the money to spare you can buy a Sky3ds for your n3ds needs since GW team already stated that they'll have some difficulties supporting emunand over 9.5 on n3ds.

More precisely, as they stated:

"We also want to inform our users about some news regarding emunand support for the New 3DS:
We will not be able to support emunand 9.5 or higher for a while on the New 3DS. This is only an issue for the New 3DS, the old 3DS and 2DS will never have this issue. This is not a definitive barrier, but we feel it necessary to inform our users that while we are still working on releasing our New 3ds support, we will not be able to provide support yet for 9.5 emunand or higher for New 3DS on release."

These types of questions can never be answered properly, because the dev's don't post here so your question is basically going to be responded by a bunch of nonsense, suck it up and enjoy your GW on your 9.2 system.

Its like holding on to ice cream with a flavor that you're allergic to, you know its good just by knowing how everyone else around you is enjoying it. You want to save it for later in hopes they have a cure for your type even though you don't know when and someones bound to jack your shit from the freezer.

safer to buy a Sky (says a happy Gateway user), or wait till 'soon'

*cringe*

Seriously though, it's a question of if and when. Previously we were limited to 4.5 and lower firmwares. Then they released compatibility up to 9.2 (thanks to many people outside of Gateway team working on exploits). Now Nintendo released a new update with something that makes Gateway not work. Will it ever work? Possibly. Will it work soon? You can not know.

Buy another n3ds that's 9.2 and under then swap the motherboards. Now you have a limited edition n3ds that's 9.2 and under

Obviously return the "newly made" 9.4 3ds.
