I think you should be able to play it on the firmware that is equivalent to Gateway's 2.0b1, which doesn't contain brick code. 2.0b1 is just a bit unstable.


Hello, he who jumps space : ) thanks for your help, are you referring to firmware V2.0? Cos they only have that or 3.3B (which is what I'm currently using) on their main website : /

I don't know which one it is, but there is one 3DS Link firmware that is basically Gateway 2.0b1. I don't have a 3DS Link so I don't know which one.

this is where Wiki becomes useful ;)

Look at 3DSLink page, and I listed the correspondences with Gateway 3DS.


R4i / link / orange -> based on GW
2.0 -> v1.2
3.0 -> v2.0b1
3.1 -> v2.0b2
3.2 -> v2.0b2 mod (attempt to fix savegame deletion issue (anti-clone feature from GW?). Not safe to use)
3.3 -> v2.0b1 mod (downgraded to 3.0 and patched version to 3.3, to prevent brick issue (Anti-clone feature from GW). Safe to use, but prefer 3.0)
3.3b -> v1.2 (downgraded back to 2.0 without applying any patch, to be safe and stable, 3.0 is safe but unstable)

"Oh, if I buy an MT-Card instead of a Gateway, I'll save money." Until you have to buy an updated cartridge, that is.

Hmm. I guess it's a translation error, then. A native English speaker would probably read "new hardware version" as a new physical item, but I guess that's not the case.
I think that he ment that and I answered to that question. It doesn't matter if the team leaves the scene or if there is a new revision.
But it's not necessary to buy a new card for this update.

Apologies if this has been dealt with already, but I didn't find it. I have a DS Lite with an old Cyclo DS. Can I use that old card with the Gateway'ed 3ds? Or do I need to transfer the stuff on it over to the blue card. If I need to transfer, is it the same process as directly from the PC, or did the old card "alter" things so that I'd be better off just reacquiring them? Anyway to transfer saves, etc?

I have a question about Gateway and emunand. I recently updated to 2.1 omega and now i want to set up an emunand but i heared that with omega when you are at emunand it doesn't show as GWD-FW at system settings. Is this true? If it is, can/should i create emunand with 2.0b1 and update to fw7.xx w/o red cart?

You can use any DS card that still runs on your 3DS to run the .nds exploit installer.


Sorry, what I meant is that, now that GW 2.1 is fully installed, can I just insert the Cyclo and play the games on it? Or do I need to move all that stuff over to the blue card?

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
