So I have been using Gateway since they just come out, I have o3ds sysnand 4.5 and emunand 9.2. What are those custom firmware for and should I try to install one for my sysnand?
If i buy a "New" 3DS XL(LL) from japan, is it possible to completely change the firmware so that it's essentially a N/A 3DS XL? I've heard of the term NAND donor/swapping which i think might be it but i'm not sure. I could use Sky3DS to play region free ROMs but from my understanding there may be some issues playing English ROM with a Japanese 3DS XL. These issues may range from errors to the game playing in Japanese due to the system language. Is this right? Another reason for me wanting to do this is in case one day Nintendo has the 3DS locked down for good and i would like to play new N/A 3DS games(by buying them) that require updating the firmware.
I'll pm him, not sure who he is though. I'm new to gbatemp.
I wanna buy a black or blue 3DS XL, what are the chances of it being <= 9.2?

Very slim to be honest and every day you wait it gets that much harder.
Best thing to do is have a credit card and keep ordering from amazon. As long as your a prime member you get free shipping and free returns. That's primarily how I do it
Yes, I meant the older 3DS XL, not the new 3ds.Unless you mean an old 3DS in which case it will most likely be below 9.2

Then all new consoles will most likely be below 9.2
As for used consoles, you can just try to ask the seller.
Unfortunately the saves cannot be recovered without having the same 3DS they were created on. The saves use per-console encryption so they can't be decrypted without the console that created them.Can I recover saves from an old legit 3ds backup? My old XL had a ton of saves on it and I backed up the SD card when I returned it, and it'd be great if I could get the saves back.
Japanese roms should work on Gateway by default. Are you using the latest Gateway launcher and the highest current possible emuNAND version (10.0.0-27 for the O3DS [10.1.0-27 breaks the multirom menu], 9.5.0-23 for the N3DS)? If not, update those two things first. If it's still not working I'd probably blame it on a bad dump of the game.Any fix to play 3DS Japanese roms on Gateway? I just got a black screen and even tried the regionfree hack where you put it on the sd card
I just got a SKY3DS, I don't have private headers yet, can I just turn off the WiFi, write the games and play?
I don't want to play online at the moment... can I make the private headers, say a month later, and play online games without problems? Is it safe?
And is it safe if I turn on my WiFi later for buying/downloading eShop titles? (after removing the SKY3DS, and ofc as long as the SKY3DS supports the newer firmwares)
