I want the most simple method for booting games and if possible swapping save files. I also want to know the card will be updated regularly and into the future. With that in mind which card do you think I should go with?

GATEWAY ULTRA v3.2.2 PUBLIC BETA
Posted on June 3, 2015
Today we present GATEWAY ULTRA 3.2.2!This is just a quick update for Old 3DS Emunand, bringing support for the latest 9.8 system firmware.

So does this mean they make your 9.2 system fake a 9.8 system? I figured they were on the ball and supported 9.8 fully. So if I want a card to support my fully upgraded system I need a Sky3DS? Does Sky3DS seem like they are ahead of the game or at least on par with actual system updates? Do they seem like they will continue to have future support?

Nobody uses Sky3DS unless they are a) afraid of computers or b) have a firmware greater than 9.2. Sky3DS has very little features and could easily be blocked by Nintendo at any point. Gateway will be around forever and has loads and loads of features.

Basically it is like choosing to buy a butterknife over a swiss army knife for the same price.

Sky is good for running the exploits to get the gateway launcher going if you have the new 3ds. OOT / CN weren't much cheaper than getting the Sky for me.

It actually gives your system the 9.8 update (actually the emuNAND portion so your actual 3DS is not updated; it's just files on your SD card). However, this does not mean a system on 9.8 can use the Gateway. Anything past 9.2 and you cannot use Gateway at all.

This goes for the N3DS as well. However, the N3DS does not have emuNAND support up to 9.8 yet.

In short, if you want to use a Gateway (whether it be the new 3DS or the old 3DS) you need to be on firmware 9.2 or lower.
