Not sure really. I'm not sure if Gateway leaves traces on the system nand outside of the modified DS profile it uses to load the exploit itself, most of what gateway does is on the emulated nand on the SD card, and playing a DS game and not redoing the exploit installer afterwards is enough to remove the DS profile exploit, so unlesss the person who buys it off of you is smart enough to poke around in sysnand I doubt anyone but Nintendo's maintenance techs would be able to tell you did anything.

it's not that bad plus it's still the easiest way to install the ds profile exploit.

4.5 used a ds exploit did it not? Thats why I was trying to figure out what he was after. If its just putting everything back to stock just remove the exploit and the emunand from the SD card

To remove all trace of Gateway (assuming that you're using the DSmode exploit) then just run a DS game. Doesn't matter if it's retail or a flash cart. You can easily install it again if needed (you can even use an R4 if you lose the blue gateway card). And remove the launcher.dat obviously. If you're using the browser exploit then don't even worry about it, just remove the launcher.dat.

you can install it with an r4? if so why cant the r4 support 9.2? and whats the browser exploit?

ok i looked up the browser exploit, if you use this to install the gateway stuff, playing ds games doesnt get rid of the thing? and deleting the launcher.dat removes all the emuNAND stuff too?

deleting the launcher.dat file does not remove emunand. You have to manually delete that as well. Thats I use separate SD cards just for this type of thing that you're trying to do.

    @BigOnYa I think another reason to want to update is if the hfw is at the level of the fw

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.
