Does this mean support for 10.3 old 3ds xl or new 3dsxl systems??? its a tad vague and I'm betting on just old 3dsxl's & 2ds's, which is not that hype! :( They cant even brake the emunand support on the n3dsxl so I doubt very much on a higher support firmware for those systems.

Tried autoboot with MenuHax and CTR, boot rate is extremely low and when works, super slow boot time compared to RX/Cakes... i have 100% boot rate with Cakes and RXTools.

boot_config :
{
timeout = 0;
autobootfix = 200;
recovery = 2;
default = 1;
entries = (
{
title = "CakeCFW";
path = "/Cakes.dat";
offset = "0x12000";
},
{
title = "GATEWAY";
path = "/3ds/GW/GW.3dsx";
},
{
title = "rxTools";
path = "/rxTools/sys/code.bin";
offset = "0x12000";
key = 1;
},
{
title = "Homebrew Menu";
path = "/boot.3dsx";
} );
};

the sooner someone makes a pubilicly available version of memchunkhax2, the sooner Gateway can steal it and claim they made it

You need to backup everything on your sd card and reformat it with SDformatter.
(did you get your sd card on ebay or something? - curious)

I just set up CtrBootManager with GW.3dsx and menuhax and it's working great, but I have a question about the options in the rom menu.

I was still on 3.4.1 until now, and I'm not sure what the "Mode" setting does exactly. Has anyone messed with it? The one that lets you pick "Gateway / Classic Sysnand / Classic 7.x- / Classic 7.x+"
Is it related to the save encryption and if so then why are there so many options? There should be only 2, 2.x encryption and 6.x encryption. I'm wary of playing with the setting in case it will cause my save to get wiped, but if anyone knows I'm curious to know what exactly it does.

I have these settings in my boot.cfg and so far I have 100% boot rate on my N3DS XL.

Code:
 timeout = 0;
  autobootfix = 8;
  recovery = 9;
  default = 0;

Oh hey, they listened to me on the Mii Plaza thing! Suh-weet~

And that 10.3, I'm curious to know if that's o3DS/2DS or if it includes n3DS as well. I'd LOVE to be able to upgrade to a New3DS for the sake of size and comfort, but it's not clear if this will include New 3DSes or not.

Can you please share you CtrBootManager boot.cfg file content? I get 10% boot rate.

You should compare it with my cfg, Bootrate is for me 100% on O3DS XL
Set timeout to 0 for Autoboot, but i don't mind the 3sec wait, so i can choose what to boot!

Code:
// Boot menu configuration
boot_config =
{
    // Default timeout in secondes
    // If timeout = -1, disable autoboot
    timeout = 3;

    // Some devices (n3ds?) seems to have
    // some timing problems when using timeout=0 (autoboot).
    // You may increase this value to improve boot success rate.
    // Default delay (8) should be good for o3ds, 2 seems good for n3ds
    autobootfix = 8;

    // if timeout = 0 (autoboot),
    // hold this key to enter the menu
    // keycode list : https://goo.gl/4XLDIL
    recovery = 2; // SELECT

    // Default boot entry
    default = 0;

    // Boot menu entries (11 max)
    entries =
    (
        {
            title  = "Cakes CFW";
            path = "/Cakes.dat";
            offset = "0x12000";
        },
        {
            title  = "rxTools CFW";
            path = "/rxTools/sys/code.bin";
            offset = "0x12000";
        },
        {
            title  = "Homebrew Launcher Grid";
            path = "/boot_mg.3dsx";
        },
        {
            title  = "Homebrew Launcher";
            path = "/boot_hb.3dsx";
        },
        {
            title  = "Quick Reboot";
            path = "/3ds/3DS_Quick_Reboot/3DS_Quick_Reboot.3dsx";
        },
        {
            title  = "Quick ShutDown";
            path = "/3ds/3DSQuickShutdown/3DSQuickShutdown.3dsx";
        }
    );
};

Boot rate with CtrBootManager was terrible for me last time I tried it with *hax 2.5, whereas with 2.1 it was stable. It seems to be stable now, though the Gateway launcher is still as unstable as ever. Last time I used CtrBootManager was on an o3DS though, and this is on my n3DS, so that might be why, but ihaveahax said it worked fine with *hax 2.5 on his 2DS, so I dunno.

My boot.cfg isn't really anything special. I just took the default config and removed the entries for rxTools and CakesFW, copied the hblauncher entry and edited it to load /3ds/GW/GW.3dsx.

Cool! Nice they heard the feedback about the button sensitivity, feels much better now :)
One question regarding coldboot though: Is there a way to use menuhax with linked SysNAND and EmuNAND? Last time I tried it failed because of the two sharing the same file. I'd rather keep them linked. If not, that's fine. oothax entry point is alright.

I just realized that my o3ds has FW4.5, so menuhax won't work. Any other idea to use autoboot with 4,5 sysnand?
