I just thought of something. If a 5.0-6.0 system uses this exploit and it doesn't have emunand, they are shit out of luck playing newer games requiring higher firmwares, right? I guess it's best to first update to 8.1 with Smash Bros. and then use Gateway.

All it's known is that EmuNAND wasn't in this supposed private beta.
If this does give access to a Kernel level shenanigans unlike public ninjax, can't they bundle a .3ds whatever app to make it boot on the menu for select/backup/brick/burn nands?

Didn't one of the Gateway releases have a public beta that was leaked?

Guess this time Gateway only issued it to people they could really trust, and since it's web based, it would be harder to spread.

Question... Do you want to risk trying a leak and have it "brick your shit*" or wait for the proven official release?

How is it with save migration? Is copying SD files enough or do I have to export them with savedatafiler and import them to the second handheld?

Emunand not added is a huge bummer for people who want to play games online like super smash bros.

I don't feel confident installing CIA files to my sysnand incase it permanently damages the system. At least with an emunand, you know its just a quick format away.

Does the lack of emunand affect more N3DS owners ? I saw some of you complaining about that, dunno why as usual x)

Installing to SysNAND isn't any more risky than installing to emuNAND.

The difference is that if something does go wrong on emuNAND all you need do is format or inject a backup made with emuNANDtool.

If something goes wrong on SysNAND however your system is bricked, then the only way to recover is to use a hardmod to restore a backup. Nobody (to my knowledge) has successfully installed a hardmod on the new3DS models.

The only .cia that i know that fucks with the sysnand directly is the DS flashcart unblock thing, the rest should be safe (from trusted sources of course).

Was thinking of this too. I'm on 7.1 so not too far back but thinking i maybe should pick up smash bros before I exploit.

I'm sure a lot of people here would go ahead and risk it.

I'm sure they would. And I'm sure they'd all blame Gateway for the problem, badmouth them, not realise that they should have been ready and had a realNAND backup system (as per tutorials), and overall... possibly "brick their shit". Which is why, of course, Gateway selects these testers in the first place. The testers have the knowledge to fix whatever breaks, send it to Gateway, and let them know something needs changed.

I dunno' about you... but I don't think many here have that kind of knowhow, patience, and accountability.
