Hacking Gateway 3ds: A9LH, Downgrade, Release Planned on May 22nd

[Deleted member 117573]

Use GW and Luma3DS together. GW will boot into sysNAND or emuNAND and allow you to play the cia on emuNAND and any .3ds on mSD card. Once GW releases their A9LH support it should just make it easier to boot. Functionality of the GW and Luma3DS for your sysNAND or emuNAND will not change.

Edit: what I was trying to say is if you use emuNAND, Luma3DS and GW will use the same emuNAND without issue. If you use updated sysNAND you will have to select boot sysNAND from GW menu as it normally boots directly to emuNAND (unless they made some changes for this release)

I hope they support updated sysnand so I can get rid of my emunand finally. Gateway is the only reason I kept it

Updated sysNAND is an awesome feature, yet I choose to use emuNAND as Nintendo is getting froggy and updating Native FIRM and other things (maybe they have a few tricks still left up their sleeve). I would rather not be surprised and just sacrifice by keeping updated emuNAND than have to put sysNAND at any possible risk. 9.2.0-20U sysNAND 4life. emuNAND with ReiNand for me (I do hope Rei adds AGB/TWL patching like @Aurora Wright did in Luma3DS)

If that ever happened id just back up my updated sysnand, inject it into emunand, and flash back my 9.0 sysnand.

Just depends on what you do with your 3DS. Luma is feature packed. Just a bunch of features that don't appeal to me so I prefer ReiNand. GW can be used in conjunction with CFW (cheating in GW mode) Much respect to both @Reisyukaku for ReiNand and @Aurora Wright for Luma3DS. Some prefer lots and lots of features (Luma) and some prefer minimal features (ReiNand). Pick a CFW based on what you desire, there is no wrong choice.

Does it make sense to buy a blue New 3DS? I mean, which firmware should they have by now?

The US blue n3ds xl that exclusive to middle east or blue MH generations?

How much features does Luma have that Rei doesn't that I don't need? I have been using Luma since Plai recommended that, but my 256 GB SD is almost completely filled (not only with 3DS stuff) and I want to get some more space back, will it help me out?

I am more interested in the A9LH installer. Will it trick the 3ds into thinking it is downgrade to get the opt or will it downgrade and install it all in one go. Like I wonder if it is a all in one, one button click installer type thing. If it is... Gateway has peeked my interest.

what is a9 install process ?

The process by which arm9loaderhax is installed.

I have a GW card but i decided to go with A9LH for two reasons: 1,GW .3ds games?long installing times with .CIA?OK i wait for some dev that permit A9LH to launch .3ds from CFW(i think is not impossible) in the meantime CIA forever! And 2: gateway cheat code?i think ntr was more user firendly and have more option(streaming etcc)and heard somewhere that the gateshark codes can be user with NTR(i'm still investigating on that possibility)now tell me what cfw cannot do,pratically NOTHING!respect for GW users but at this rate i think A9LH is the ONLY real,quick,safe(if you are not a dumbas to doing something you have not informed well before),worthing etcc etcc modification for 3ds that all need!end of story!peace and love

 

[abdellbobo]

GW Time Machine app for 3DS community and A9LH Installer exclusively for GW users hm...
maybe they will use these DG paks again

I prefer CFW but like to use my Gateway for cheats. What does that mean, I'm confused/conflicted.

What you wanna use is your choice, I respect that. But allow me to answer your quetions, and further your 'investigation'. Gateway has no A9LH payload yet, so CFW has that in spades. But about your cheat thing, NTR cheat plugins aren't as user friendly and advanced as Gateshark is. Gateshark CAN be converted to NTR Cheat plug-ins, but they can't be directly used. NTRViewer is a thing, it allows you to stream video from N3DS to PC.

But here's my question to you, when Gateway allows A9LH, would you still feel the same way?

 

[Deleted member 117573]

Why can't gateway just give every member of GBATemp a free Gateway and we can all have payloads for every available CFW and Gateway and have every option open to us. One can dream still right?

for sure i give it a shot because i have a GW too but i don't feel to use .3ds anymore after A9LH and i can live without cheating,in any case who lives will see

Because Money.

So can any beta testers comment on how the A9LH piece works yet?

Thanks

 

[abdellbobo]

beta testers did you receive the new getaway update or still waiting for later this week.

 

[ZoNtendo]

As a beta tester, I still have not received the tester version yet
