Hi All,
I have asked this in the Noob Thread, but didnt' seem to get an response.
I also tried to find a thread I saw earlier where someone was going through the same thing I was,
but couldn't find it.
I hope someone can help.
I have bought an Original Gateway Flashcard (with White and Blue card) way back then without realizing that it didn't work with the New 3DS XL.
So I left it for a while, and went and bought some retail games like Smash Bros. Etc
I figured its been a while now and I do see Gateway now can be used for the N3DS XL,
but I am having trouble trying to wrap my head around everything. It all seems a bit confusing, so let me state what I want to accomplish with my N3DS.
What I want to do with my N3DS:
- Play Retail games that I bought (like Pokemon X Y or upcoming Sun / moon, mario kart. Etc and probably games that would come with an update to the N3DS firmware)
- Play "backup" Games, if you know what I mean
- Optional: Ability to Play Online Multiplayer or access online functions.
- Optional: Cheat in some games, mostly single player
I have a N3DS XL with version 9.2.0-20E,
it keeps telling me to update but I just ignored it.
So here are my following questions:
1.) How do I install Gateway onto the system?
Do I need to buy orcarina or cubic ninja? Is there a safe step to step guide?
b.) Furthermore, how to install emunand?
2.) Would buying a Sky3ds+ be easier to accomplish what I want to do as stated above?
3.) Should I update? I heard not to update and should downgrade instead?
4.) What is the purpose of CFW? If installed, is that mean I can never go back?
Meaning If Nintendo had new features.etc that it cannot be used until the developer of the CFW updates it. I'm assuming its similar to installing a Custom Rom on a Android phone or Rooting/Jailbreak.
Thanks for your help!!!
