Update your 3ds to 9.2 then install RX tools or any other custom firmware there should be a thread around here I'm too lazy to find it but just search you'll find it.

Only if you want cheats I think. I'm not really sure I don't keep up with gateway. Anyway good luck and follow the directions you don't need the gateway for the tutorial but if you want to you can use it.

Will look for it , thx for your answer !!

And nowdays how useeful is the gateway card ?
It's good for cheats, as well as being the only decent method of running .3DS roms. Personally I like the convenience of .3DS roms as CIAs can be difficult to find and sometimes require you to convert the ROM yourself, and take a long time to install.
NTR-CFW also has cheat support though and can be ran on top of any CFW, the main issue there is that most of the cheats are for Japanese games.

o3DS = use rxTools
n3DS = stay with gateway

there's no reason not to use rxTools on o3DS, as it is the best firmware out there and includes region free. on n3DS, no CFWs have region free, so don't bother. i know you have an o3DS since you downgraded to 4.x, therefore just use rxTools. just search the forum for that big post about how to install rxTools from scratch.

Just don't format emuNAND again, and don't format your SD card, nothing is going to overwrite your emuNAND unless you actively choose to do so.

You'll need to update to a system version that has the Theme menu available...best bet is just to go with 9.2. If your emunand is already set up, then you can skip that step and move on to installing CFW. Make sure you set up the Coldboot options so the person you're giving the device to doesn't end up in SysNand and update the firmware by accident or all is lost! :P

As far as Gateway card...they're greedy, soulless criminals...you can use NTR CFW to install cheat plugins or use the NTR Debugger to find new codes.

A Sky3DS card will let you run .3ds files pretty much flawlessly, though...and without all the hoops of getting into a special mode to do it.
