So to start up, I'll explain my current set up.

I have luma, decrypt9, and gateway all set up on A9LH on my 3DS, as well as Citra on my PC.
Currently on 11.1
I was trying to install a mod to my Pokemon Omega Ruby (specifically, Rising Ruby), and I managed to dump, decrypt, extract, mod, and repack the game just fine on my own, and it works fine for me on Citra now.

The issue is, when I try to re-encrypt the game to play it on my 3DS via gateway, the game crashes.

The encryption process seems to go just fine, and the game appears on my gateway menu, icon and all.
But when I try to start the game, get a message "An Error has occurred. Hold the power button to turn off the power..."

So I'm wondering, is that an issue caused by the encryption process, or did I some how mess up with the modding (seems unlikely, seeing that the modded game works on Citra)

I'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure it would be a lot easier to play a cia version and use Hans or SaltySD to change the files (I'm likely to be wrong, never done it myself, but it should give you something to look up).

Oh, I'm sure converting to cia could very well be a faster solution, but I do like having access to gateway's cheats menu.

Do you know any replacement to it?

You can access the gateway's cheats menu on .3ds files, a well on any .cia files too.

You can use NTR for cheats but it's not as convenient as Gateway's cheats.

Edit: oh yes as @Asia81 said you can use Gateway cheats on cia games too.

Huh, I just tried it, and the Gateway cheats do work on cia games. Thanks guys.

I'll just need to convert the game to cia, re-encrypt the cia, and hope for the best.

    @Xdqwerty, People who create revival services for the Wii end up in disaster, same goes for Pretendo lol.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Too bad Excite Truck wasn't multi player :(
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Loved that game lol
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, sorry for the stupid suggestion I had in that thread
