you missed one.

also good, now nobody (with cfw/etc) needs to stay on 11.0 anymore.

also this thread is going to turn into "who uses gateway anymore?". I can just feel it.

What's a Gateway?

 

[Elveman]

Are you talking about the colosseum in Pokemon Battle Revolution that has pretty cool music?

What's a Gateway?

1. an opening that can be closed by a gate.
   "we turned into a gateway leading to a cottage"
2. 
   a device used to connect two different networks, especially a connection to the Internet.

Now that this is out and fixed, how should I go about updating to 11.1? Do I update in SysNAND, or in Gateway Mode? I have A9LH and Luma installed on my N3DS. I have not updated before with A9LH/Luma. Also, do I need to update Luma as well? Thoughts/help appreciated

Don't update in Gateway mode, it could brick. Update when you're in Luma.

How do I know if I am in Luma? Sorry, am new to this...

Well do you have to hold a key to boot into Gateway? Don't hold that key.

You can be sure by holding Select to get Luma options to come up, then pressing Start to reboot. Also, the version string in Settings will say "sys" instead of "GW3D".

Thanks for help! Can I still use my SC DSTwo in 11.1? Also, do I need the 3.7, or 4.2 launcher?

I am confused... If I update, does GW mode get updated also? I am wanting to play the newer games that are coming out, especially Pokemon Sun/Moon...

Don't use your DSTwo+ with Gateway version over 3.4.1 if you don't want a brick :-p You will have to downgrade to 9.5/10.2 (N3DS/O3DS) I think for that version, too.

I don't have a DSTwo Plus. I have the standard SC DSTwo.

Oh sorry! When you mentioned launcher.dat right after DSTwo I thought you must have meant a DSTwo+. Yeah DSTwo for DS, GBA etc will work on all firmwares.

Ok, thanks
Which launcher.dat do I need for Gateway? Do I need the 3.7 one, or the 4.2 one?

Who uses Gateway anymore?

MSET, menuhax and browserhax peasants ;P

 

[GarlicWario]

Even if most people like having both Luma and Gateway mode on the same sysNAND partition (like I do), it is very importat to NOT update when in Gateway mode. ONLY update in Luma3ds mode, otherwise you could brick your 3DS. And YES when you update in Luma3ds mode it will apply to the Gateway 3DS mode aswell without any chances of bricking the system.

And... I just made my friend rip his 11.0 CTRnand so I could play online without being on 11.1. Great timing Gateway.

Well, I use gateway. I don't use CFW.
