Money isn't super tight, but $100 is way more then I wanna pay. Is that about the same deaL? Didn't know 3DS had that option. Same more or less as a PSP? I used to run that back in the day.

With firmware 9.8 your ONLY option for 3DS roms is Sky3DS. Literally nothing else will work for you to play pirates games. (Except for QQ3DS which is just a clone of Sky). Gateway won't work, CFW won't work, MT-Card won't work, etc.I'm on 9.8.0 FW, don't think theres a CFW for that is there? Didn't see it with looking around anyway.
Edit: Is Gateway just the best one? How are the other flash cards? Like I said I had an R4 before, I liked it just fine for a normal DS
Nope, if you're at 9.8 you're stuck there unless you have a backup of your NAND which I can guarantee you don't.There anyway to rollback an update? I just got the DS from someone else and let it do its update thing. Does reformatting the card roll the FW back?
It does the job just fine if all you want to do is play games. Whenever a new game comes out they have to update the template file before you can play it though, and there's no way to update the template on your own.Sky3DS any good then? I don't remember seeing its name when I was looking before.
Sky3ds only plays 3ds roms. It's pretty much the exact same thing all the free custom firmwares can do.
Only advantage is sky works on newest firmware (9.8) while custom firmware requires 9.2 or below
My recommendation:
-Buy a used console. They are pretty much the same price as a sky3ds
-set up custom firmware on <9.2 3ds.
-Use your current 3ds for legit stuff.
Custom firmware also uses console header when playing online so no risk of ban (unless Nintendo changes how they check for roms)
Which is difficult for a sky3ds user to obtainThere shouldn't be a risk of banning if you use a header from your own rom dump as far as I have read

Most people who buy sky3ds are going to be over 9.2If the system is >9.2 you can do with with just a sky3ds and gw launcher.dat. Put OOT on the sky3ds, restore save to the gateway one and run the exploit, no gateway needed.
