Let's see if I can explain this coherently....So say 8.0(Nintendo) comes out with an awesome game we want to play, and gateway comes out with an 8.0 update, how are we supposed to update emuNAND if Nintendo releases 8.1 before? Are we all going to have to mod our 3DS?
You don't actually need emunand at all.we still need to update emuNAND at the same time the gateway and nintendo updates align, if you get what im saying
Pretty much, the new games don't work because of sdk7+so you are saying we just need a gateway update?
you have 2 separate issues mashed up there,Let's see if I can explain this coherently....
Emunand/Gateway mode spoof the firmware naturally so you can run higher firmware roms/cartridges on a 4.5 3ds. In essence, it is bypassing the check whenever the 3ds checks whether you have the right firmware.
So why don't some of the newer games work? Because they are using a new save encryption method called sdk7+. A 4.5 3ds can't read/write this save method so the game fails to load. And firmware spoofing doesn't fix this because it still can't allow the 3ds to use the new encryption method.
nope was first added as an option in the initial 7.0 update i believe, but only a few apps used it like pokebank, and the US youtube app, it was only in 7.2 that parts of the OS used the new ncch encryption, now in 8.0 even more of the OS uses it rendering it unusable in emunand, it took quite a while from its introduction to actually hit retail cartsncch encryption was introduced with 7.2(Nintendo)?
I dont think they are lying they have always give us what they promise but months later, i hope they realese the update before September 13, because that day is when Super smash bros is realesed in Japan so we could play it 2 weeks beforewell, gateway team has already said that they are "certainty that we will soon be running 7.x games and 7.x applications".
So, unless they are lying, there is still hope
Also, I want to play Zelda ALBW, but it has the 6.2 update on it, right?
Does EmuNand spoof it self, or do you actually need to update it via the Nintendo Servers? (And therfore wait for a new Gateway update on that)
Or can I change the required version number with the 3DSExplorer 1.5.3? (I removed the update already via the tool..)
And I can just use the headers of my original games on Roms like this:

And go online on 4.4 (even 4.4 (if it is not spoofed) emunand), right?
all games except 7.x encrypted games will work fine on any firmware, you dont even need to set up emunand, just enter gateway mode and they will work as normal,
you can go online as long as you follow the turorial in that thread, only exceptions are games that require a update from the eshop(i.e pokemon), only way to play them online is if you already downloaded the update when 7.x was the latest version out
