It does block cartridge updates.I hope u don't either. I don't think gateway can block cart updates, so u'll probably have to dump the game. that is according to its chart and if I'm understanding it correctly.
I'm on the latest firmware with b9s as I ditched gateway a while back. I still own the cart though.
The method you were suggested works fine, but there's a much easier way, you can dump the game directly to .cia.Thanks for the info. Someone in previous thread said to just convert game to cia and everything good to go? If I need to, how do I convert a game cartridge to cia and what do I use? Thoughts and help appreciated
you could also try freeshopGood news, so far at least:
I tried Fire Emblem Echoes on my Gateway and it worked. It seems like Gateway bypassed the required firmware? On 3dsdb, it says Firmware is 11.3.0 for that game, and my N3DS is on SysNAND 11.2. Thoughts on this appreciated

nope, if the game requires you to update because of firmware requirements, then you must for cia based games.Thanks for info. [emoji4]
But do cia games bypass firmware checks?

You can find the post on that iso site, same username..
The method is successful on JPN N3DS, not tested on EU or USA but should be similar.

Yes, it'll almost certainly work.Hi guys. I am planning to get game this tomorrow, but am worried about required firmware. My N3DS has A9LH/Luma and SysNAND 11.2. I was able to play Fire Emblem Echoes on GW, and according to 3dsdb, that game required FW 11.3. You guys think Ever Oasis will be same? Thoughts and help appreciated
