Yesterday I made a big mistake of installing a custom font on my Gateway EmuNAND. This led to it not booting anymore. So I was going to reformat and just inject my friend list files and continue like nothing happened. Thing is now i can't access system setting on either sysNAND or EmuNAND to unlink my NANDs. When I go into system settings on either it gives me a black screen then crashes to the home menu and reboots. I'm unable to use my Gateway on this 3DS now and I do not want to go to Luma + A9LH. I want to continue using my gateway cheat menu. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

OMG, that's the biggest lie I've read so far about gateway.

Anyway, which system version do you have? Do you have any nand backups? There are more entrypoints than sys settings, just need to find one.
9.2 i only have the emunand backup which doesnt boot but i can make sysnand ones if i need to and what do you mean there are other entry points.

You can use TinyFormat to unlink your NANDs instead. It won't cause problems with NNID login or delete files from your SD like the official system format does.
Edit: Actually, be careful with that. If your system settings is still broken after the format, you won't be able to go through the system setup process, forcing you to update through recovery mode.

if it risks updating sysnand im not doing that

Are you sure you didn't change anything else since last time your sysNAND system settings worked?
I don't see how installing a font on emuNAND could break system settings on sysNAND. There must be something else you did.
i never touch my emunand. the only thing i can think of is they somehow linked at some point

Even if they were linked, there's no way you can screw up sysNAND from within emuNAND, when in emuNAND sysNAND is completely unaccessible.
yea but can i still use my gateway without a gateway emunand?
Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it. You can't update sysNAND in Gateway mode because it lacks FIRM protection. You can still use emuNAND with A9LH though.
