Is there anywhere I can find a tutorial on how to use a gateway on a 3DSXL on firmware 9.2.0.20U ? I would like to know about it before I buy one.

Figured this would be the best spot for this question...

But anyway, any idea how to RE-LINK sysnand and emunand and keep data intact or even a way to get game updates on 9.2 sysnand while keeping 9.4 emunand so i don't have to bother with classic mode for retail carts?

Look for a new 3ds thst is on firmware 9.2 or less so that you can use the gateway 3ds cart.

it only deletes dlc, not games. Like fake signed themes and fake signed dlc. When you make custom themes, I'm guessing it overwrites a legit theme so that's why it isn't deleted.

Thanks that it nice to know I never really planned on pirating but I guess I can now convert my cart games to cia and install homebrew to have sound support over using as a 3ds and still have access to the eShop

If you have a nand backup from before the unlinking you could just flash it back.

Sounds like the data in that folder is corrupted or sth... can't imagine why else it would do that. Do you have important saves on it? Or is it not worth trying to recover it?

Not sure about smash bros either. I play on my NA legit cart all the time soo..
Actually I just have smash4 infinite demo and ORAS demo , but I'm testing because I'm helping a friend that have more content and saves, I have to be sure it work on mine to use on his one...
But it's not actually corrupted since if I put in a new SD without emunand, and them on the 3DS, it will load on sysnand o-o I'm not in home now but I will try it when i back there:
Format the emunand SD (noting important there yet so :v), but the files there and see if load in sysnand, if yes, format emunand there and then try to place again the folders.... what do you think about this idea ?

NoA is evil, Portugal have games in Portuguese but they don't even give us the translation of Portugal D:
But not about that XD I plan to buy the original japanese one (because my smash collection are all japanese, I can't break the chain now, right? xD (with 3DS it's ok even if it unmoded since w ecan get region free exploit but I know I will get problem when I get and wiiu ... unless they do region free there until the time i get one XD It's not soon anyway ...)
Anyway all this was out subject XD I'm just testing because I want to see how it look and stuffs (maybe make me buy an european version as well..) but there are any way to make the GW boot in on the desired language? for example, almost all NA games should have French and Spanish, right? I want to boot game A in French, game B in Spanish and C in English, but not changing the system region every time I want to boot then, it's possible on GW?

(BTW I'm on the right thread for this? I'm basically asking only about GW D: )

Hello , I have one simple question, what do I need to have a fully functional gateway ? I read it is advisable to backup sysnand and emunand is pretty neat, in order to have everything top notch what hardware and software do I need ? Is the default 2g SD card enough for all the data transfers ? Thanks in advance

I'm new to the 3ds flash cart scene. I've done quite a bit with my old psp so I'm not a total noob.

I pre-ordered a new 3ds Monster hunter edition. It was always my intention to use flash cards with it and now I'm in a bit of panic because I'm not sure how the pre-installed game works. Will it force me to update the FW immediately or I loose my game? Or will I be able to install an emu nand and then link it to a Nintendo account? This is my first handheld of this generation so I'm really iffy on how nintendo handles the pre-installed game.

I've been in the process of converting everything to CIA, but I've run into a slight snag. I took a .3ds file of SMB3 and converted it, but when it showed up on the home menu, the banner which usually reads:

Virtual Console
Super Mario Bros 3
Released 1990

is instead replaced by a blank white rectangle. Any ways or things I could download to fix that?

New 3DS right? Not 'Any old new 3DS.' Nintendo has confusing names lol. Would it work on any new 3DS or should I get my region because I live in the USA and we only have the New 3DS LL.

Like getting Pokemon Y game update from eShop? Yeah, it works. If you think its going to slow in your house or whatever, just put it in sleep mode and it will download.

That's right :)

If it's on 9.2, the region doesn't matter since gateway is region free already, and supports all 3ds regions.

Yo guys, it's been a while and a the 3DS scene looks huge now, I somehow miss the hype of that mysterious Gateway 3DS !
I tried to look for informations about GBA VC .3ds files, can we play them now ? There are just... too many threads...
and you know using the search function looking for "GBA" when the domain is GBAtemp... Oh god I'm getting old.

I've been out of the loop for quite a while. Is there any way to downgrade from 9.4 without a Gateway? I searched around, but everything seems to be 9.2 and lower...

I've just got my gateway today, and I know I want to "downgrade", "unlink emunand and sysnand" & install CIA files. But I'm not sure where to start? should I do the downgrade first? or do I look up how to to do the emunand?

downgrade first. before downgrading you're forced to do a NAND backup so that's always useful to keep saved in case something bad happens or in case you want to restore it back to your old firmware.
afterwards do the rest of the normal steps like formatting emunand and separating sysnand from emunand
