I can confirm Zelda U not working here on AUS/EUR console
Possibly, Region Lock, Spoof both not working on 7.0, only the SDK 5.x Icon location is
I will test others as have majority of EUR/US titles and whole romset on archive ftp if i dont

Maybe emuNAND 7.0 + Gateway 2.0b1 can still play SDK 5.x ROMs, but the region-free patch doesn't work? That seems to be consistent so far, we just need one person to report this for a USA model.

So I can confirm that SDK 5.x+ US roms work with my US console. Tested Mario Party Island Tour. Seems like it's exactly as we suspected; the region free patch stopped working with 7.0.

Now I wonder if 6.3 to 7.0 does actually work if you use the correct roms.

Spoof probably not working either, which is trivial as on latest version it doesnt matter

but spoof and region free definatly worked on Nonupdated and Updated to 6.3 EmuNAND

Now that I think about it, after updating to 7.0 emunand, Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask ROM (US, <4.5 SDK) stopped working on my AUS (EUR) console, as in the icon doesn't show up at all. So this theory is probably correct

This is a noob question so let say if you just got a 4.5 3ds and going to get gateway... am i going to be on 4.5 sysNAND + Gateway 2.0b1? with no update to emunand ? or will i have to 4.5 sysNAND + 7.0 emuNAND + Gateway 2.0b1 ? there seems to be alot of confusion since the 7.0 firmware launch!! any response is appreciated!!

So nobody actually tested this in 7.0 updated from 6.3 emuNAND?


Not that I know of, but I can test this now. Just have to restore to 6.3 and reupdate.

Anything else anybody want tested on a US console 4.x to 7.0 before I restore and update?

You should back up your 7.0 emuNAND in any case, so you won't need to update

to run games (rom), u just need to use gateway launcher in sysNAND. no need to use emuNAND.

Im sure i did 6.3-7.0 and roms didnt show, but i cant be 100% sure i was using same region, i think it was bravely default i tested first which is EUR, it would make sense that, none of the patches are working in 7.0, which probably would have only been the region free, as the firmware is high enough for the SDK 5.x games to work

But the games should appear on Home Menu. It makes sense that games of a different region won't show, but all games of the same region should appear, just like it was on 1.0; even when not every game was bootable due to higher firmware requirements, they would still appear on the menu.

Yeah, that is weird, I was definately getting nothing showing, I remember even the SDK5 games would show but wouldn't boot, Only out of regions dont, I pretty sure this is totally the case, All Games from your Region should work fine Via EmuNAND 7.0 as spoof isnt needed, SDK 5.x patching not needed, and since we are running a NAND without patches, only makes sense the only games that shouldnt show/play are out of region, and Bravely Default, Zelda show fine now, Mario doesnt.. Maybe it was that i tested with in the first place not thinking

Great, glad we got that tested and confirmed. I updated the initial post with the new ROM compatibility info w/ emuNAND 7.0.

Interesting, Went to update the emunand and it hung at about 80%. Gonna try and update again.

As soon as I get that sorted out will test 6.3 to 7.0 with same regions games.

Edit: Three attempts to update, three attempts failed. Wondering if their servers are still all wonky or what's going on. Updated about 6 times earlier today and had no problem (including my Zelda 3DS XL).

Edit 2: Got it to work finally.

I don't know if it's an emuNAND thing, but I got prompted to update today again, then entered to System Settings but still a connection is require for updating.

What's with the game patches part? All patches work normally since they are just loaded from the SD.

Some months ago when I loaded the Taiwanese version of Mario Kart 7, the 1.1 patch I downloaded from the eShop (U) appeared on screen.

---
Home Menu, Internet Browser, Friend List applet, swkbd applet, and mint applet were updated.

Perhaps this may explain why some users can't go to home menu on 7.0, and have instead to turn off the console.

So it seems that 6.3 to 7.0 is no different from 4.x to 7.0. Finally got the thing to update from 6.3 to 7.0 and I can play Mario Party Island Tour (U), A Link Between Worlds (U) (Finally found it), and basically anything USA regioned.
