Hacking GATEWAY ULTRA v3.4 PUBLIC BETA

[guitarheroknight]

But Xenoblade already works on GW, maybe the new patch doesn't apply to any games that are currently out.

It works on 9.4 or above, this patch lets you play it at lower firmwares than 9.4.

Gateway haves firmLaunch on new 3ds up to 9.5 so xenoblade used to work with the older versions of gateway on 9.0 firmware.

I heard it worked on 9.0 with GW (thanks to firmlaunch). Maybe I'm remembering it wrong.

i think its more of a pre-emtive move for once games start requiring a higher min kernel version to try keep them playable.....if thats the case i guess they arent even close to cracking the 9.6+ n3DS keys

basically its only useful for n3DS users, o3DS users can still update to the latest FW and as such have the correct kernel for the games to launch, as the n3DS emunand cant go past 9.5 atm once games start requiring a higher base FW then the kernel version check would fail, previously they had only spoofed the FW check, now they have spoofed the FW version check and the kernel version check.....idk how successful that will be assuming new syscalls are added, spoofing the version check wouldn't magically make newer syscalls work on the older kernel, better than nothing though i guess and i guess it may work ok at first but probably not with all games, hopefully they intend to try break the 9.6 n3ds keys, wouldn't blame them if they have given up on major commitments though seeing as people will just try to rip it from their launcher without actually doing any of the hard work involved in actually getting the keys

2) seed encryption of eshop content, this only really effects GW users, this prevents newer out of region eshop roms without crypto fixes and any n3DS users accessing newer eshop dumps without a crypto fix

Regarding issue 2), this can be fixed if the dump groups provide the seed db with the cia, correct?

yes and no, it would help o3ds users if there was seed injection tools (but afaik there isnt any way of injecting the seeds atm), also it wouldn't help n3DS users as the seed encryption was added in 9.6, so it better for everyone that we just have crypto fixed releases it doesn't really make much difference it just strips the seed layer of encryption away

but until the n3DS gets 9.6 emunand there will always be a demand for crypto fixed content anyway, so people doing releases might as well kill 2 birds with 1 stone by just releasing the crypto fixed versions for both sides rather than encrypted + seed for o3DS users and crypto fixed for n3DS users

thanks for clearing this up

just tried running a sonic 2 3D cia (9.5Emunand N3DS)...(stuck on the 3DS boot screen) guess I'll wait for someone to cryptofix it then ?

@json - Can you modify the first post to reflect that their changes don't fix CIA, only .3DS. Something in big red bold letters? I see a lot of people misinterpreting the update.

Is there a cryptofixer tool out there? Or is this "private" in some release group circles?

But, my point is: for n3ds 9.5, you could create a CIA injector tool that knows how to deal with 9.6 crypted CIA files, so that it could decrypt them on the fly. So basically, cryptofix on the fly.

This would be a better solution than to wait for individuals to cryptofix CIA files

I have an o3Ds with 4.4 sysnand. My emunand is 9.9 and I use gateway 3.3 I can update to this gateway 3.4 no issues right?

I mean I guess my real question is if its ok for me to keep updating these gateway versions? Shouldnt ever break anything right?

Thanks!

All you have to do is replace the launcher.dat with the 3.4 version thats it.

It's safe, all you do is replace the Launcher.dat file - If it fails to boot, you can always just drop you old Launcher.dat back in place.

Sweetness thanks folks! So what I am understanding is that the NEW 3ds doesnt have emunand past a certain version but us older fellows have emunand up to the latest version (9.9)

thanks for the info guys! SOOOO glad I got a gateway and NOT a sky!

Yes Old 3DS Emunand goes up to 9.9 and New 3DS Emunand goes up to 9.5.0-23.

Coolness. Thanks for the info! Wish this team would take a crack at the wiiU!

cia has nothing to do with gateway red card

You mis-read my statement. Look at all the previous posts. People think the new launcher fixed 9.6+ encryption/AP checks on CIA installed in the system.
