Hi Guys,

Fairly new at using GW, in any case I recently updated my EMUNAND so I can play Fire Emblem and well it took me to emunand 10.6, my system nand is still at 8.1, now the problem is when I boot into GW and try launching the games it says there is nothing inserted into the game card slot. So basically is not recognizing the red card anymore. =(


Second problem I did a backup system nand before updating the emunand and I tried restoring it using the downgrade option and it gave me an error " Fatal Error Could not find GATEWAY.DG on SD" . Of course I placed the NAND.BIN file on the root of the SD card.

Any advice please? Is there a way since my system still 8.1 I can erase everything from the Red Gateway and start fresh?

Oh I did not make a backup of Emunand before updating it since I did not see an option in gateway to backup emunand. =(

Emunand9 and cfws are your friends.

Not sure why people insist on still using gateway carts. Does it offer anything cfws dont already?

You can play .3ds games from the GW card and .cia games from your internal card increasing you overall storage capacity which means more games. I use .cia for online games and .3ds for everything else so I do not have to deal with headers.

I have GW, Sky3ds+ and rxtools.

Makes sense, if you already have gateway/sky3ds and microsd cards lying around. Otherwise getting a bigger microsd is probably better. At least I prefer cias over flashcarts.

Use decrypt9 to inject your nand backup to emunand. It is faster than reformatting using the GW menu.

I had Gateway before there was other exploits. So the question is am I screwed after taking my emunand to 10.6? so I cant reset gateway? my 3ds still 8.1.

Also I have no idea what is or that there were other ways to play roms, which CFW is best ? Emunand9? I'm going to google it now of course but any advice on how to use it would be appreciated. Sometimes this things are complicated, Thanks

Rxtools or CakesFW are good cfws to look into for o3ds. Emunand9 is a homebrew that can create emunand from sysnand, backup sysnand and emunand. I'm not sure about gateway support for 10.6, what version of emunand were you on before 10.6?

I have GW on 10.6 and it works. I also recommend Rx Tools but GW is nice for the storage and some of the newer features. How are you booting in to GW? browser hax is fixed so maybe it messes with your entry point. I am using the GW boot.3dsx file auto-booting through CTR_manager. Works like it always did. Also maybe your card didn't update. try holding L when booting GW and going in to the "GW Mode" from there it may ask you to update your card. Mine did. Also check theGW SD for failure. Happened to me.

Just need the latest launcher.dat. You can get it from Gateway's website. In future, when you want to update emuNAND follow these steps.
1. Check gbatemp to see if gateway supports it (you may need new gateway files)
2. Backup your emuNAND using emuNAND tool or equivalent.
3. Download the latest gateway files and put the latest launcher.dat on your SD card (if required for the latest emuNAND)
4. Update emuNAND in the correct way (going to system settings etc)
5. If you have any issues report them on gbatemp and restore your emuNAND backup

Do you have an O3DS or a N3DS, I couldn't launch into gateway emunand after updating to 10.6 (I had backed up 10.5 emunand just before trying to update ;) )

Mainly still use Gateway for cubic ninja .3ds, but I guess a .cia of same would do the same job.
