thanks for the reply..
the save part I didn't understand..u mean we cannot use the in game save and have to save by pressing home etc?
BTW can we save anywhere in the game using that method?

I think GW has learned from their past mistakes in communication..Which is not bad in mi opinion.

Of course, we will now have constant posts saying that Gateway has gone out of business or has formed a new group or were attacked by rival gangs...

Has someone recived an emai from gateway regarding to future updates?

Doubt it. Gateway has no need to go public with anything right now. They managed the big accomplishment of multi-ROM AND 100% compatibility. Until some major release comes out that requires their attention to get running, we probably won't be seeing a whole lot from them.

No, saving works regularly. There are no "Savestates."

Until yesterday, I was only using a 2gb card with my r4i deluxe, though that couldn't fit some games like DKCR. So yesterday I finally went on and bought a cheap 8 gb card. A Kingston class 4.
It's working fine, so I bought another one, identical to the one I bought yesterday... works fine on PC and phone but the 3DS doesn't recognize the card at all. :/
What's the deal? Thanks in advice

Maybe you formatted it incorrectly? Try again.

Gateway only works for firmware 4.1-4.5 correct? Just want quick clarification.

Yep.

It was probably this...I've formatted the card through the phone and then it worked. Thanks

slightly offtopic... the Pullblox dump is out. I know I should've got gateway

Hey guys, I'm wondering if 4.5.0-10U is considered to be 4.5.0? Basically, I'm wondering if I can use this firmware with Gateway 3ds.

I'm also wondering if a 3DS with firmware 3.0.0-6U can be upgraded to 4.5.0? I'm unsure of how the updating works, but if it is anything like phones, you don't get the option to choose what update you'd like to apply, you simply get the latest. If that is the case, do I simply just get a game that force updates it to 4.5?

Yes, the -10U is just for eShop; congratulations, you are holding a GW-compatible 3DS!

Yes, you can use a cart that includes the 4.5.0 update, make sure Wifi is disabled before you insert the cart to complete the update. There is a step-by-step guide somewhere in this forum but it should be obvious. Make sure to NOT upgrade to anything beyond 4.5.0.

Awesome! Thank you very much for this information I appreciate the response and will dig for the guide after my final exams.

Sorry if all of this has been answered multiple times already--I've been out of the loop for a while.

I'm still on Gateway 1.2. Any reason not to update to 2.1 Omega? Any brick reports? I know that you cannot revert back to 1.2 after you upgrade to 2.1, so I just want to be sure. Lastly, is there anything special I need to do when upgrading, or do I simply just swap out the Launcher.dat file?

 

[codezer0]

You're right, that lost 1 gig is from the EmuNAND, which is roughly 1GB. I found this post through google from maxconsole, so hopefully it can help you out.

Those tips don't work. Or at least... I can't copy the emunand partition. None of the tools I've found so far will even touch it.

no reason not to, been out for over a month now and no problems
just swap the launcher and reformat your microsd card to exfat and copy the roms to it
it will update the card when you try to run gateway mode

Nice, glad to hear. Thanks for the info.

This might be a bit of a stupid question (I haven't kept quite up to date with this stuff) but now that eshop titles are being dumped, what does this mean for patches/DLC? For example, the Pokemon 1.2 patch has a scene release, can we actually use that? And if so, how?

 

[Joe88]

Cia files cannot be used on gateway

 

[Tokiopop]

Alright, is it possible to get things like patches through emunand, and have them work in gateway mode?
