If I downgraded but still have emunand and saves before I down graded will I be able to keep my saves and continue to use them as well as emunand.

What are the chances of ever being able to play DS games via Gateway without having to install the exploit again? There are a few DS games I'm dying to play (AAI2, Chrono Trigger) but it doesn't seem worth the hassle at present.

Sorry mate, could you rephrase that?

I have a 4.2 system and used the blue card to install the Gateway exploit. It's my understanding that playing any DS game uninstalls the exploit and you have to reinstall it after. Is this correct?

I think you can play with this, did you tried? if it uninstalls the exploiot you could install it again

are you playing the game on the same region of the console? it happened to me with smash brothers, since it was another region I needed to instal it apart

This happens with me as well, I heard that unlinking the emu and sysnand would do it but I don't tried

I don't currently have a 3DS. I'm just trying to understand the theory here and I'm not too versed in this scene so please bear with me.

Following this tutorial I should be able to downgrade to 4.5 sysNAND and install 4.5 CFW and 9.4 EmuNAND: https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-4-5-sysnand-4-5-cfw-9-4-emunand-without-gateway.378721/
1. After completing the tutorial how does it work, will it always be running in CFW or do I need to run something each time after I power the console off?
2. What does the EmuNAND let me do? Use the console as if it were original so I can play retail cartridges and download updates?
3. How do I load EmuNAND when I need it?

Once I've got CFW running, I can use DevMenu or BigBlueBox to install .CIA files on my 3DS.
I want to play Pokemon X/Y, Pokemon ORAS and Super Smash Bros online; I've done some research and CIA files have no headers therefore I should be able to play these games online and not get banned, correct?
If I'm correct on playing CIA files online why do flashcarts exist, what's the advantage of them?

Thanks.

I'm having trouble transfering the save data from the retail cartidge of Majora's Mask to the rom in the gateway sd card. I'm not using any cia, just the game itself dumped
Is there anyway to transfer the save from the cartidge to the rom? Thanks in advance

Hi,

I own a Sky3DS and quite a few legit cartridge. I'd like to dump these cartridges but no dumper is available (as far as I know) with the Sky3DS.
I know it's possible to use GW's Launcher.dat dump function using the go.gateway-3DS.com exploit, but it doesn't work past FW 9.2, and I'm at 9.5...

Would it be possible to use Smealum's regionthree hack to launch the GW Launcher.dat ?

Thanks.

I just found out about RegionThree by Smea (The Region Unlock hack), would I be able to use this without Ninjhax? Could I play any Japanese Import game on my 3DS? I'd love to play Dangerous Jiisan 1000-nin Otomadatchi-ja, and the Doramon Games...

Can you use Streetpass on a .3ds file? I'm not trying to refer the .3dz file.

Yes.

Read.

If your banned, can you still use the browser exploit on Gateway?

Yes.

Try SaveDataFiler.

1. You have to start CFW every time you power on the console
2. Use the latest firmware without updating your console's actual firmware
3. DS Profile Exploit, same goes with CFW.

None of those games work on CFW (pokemon X/Y do, but can't save).
Yes.
Currently: better support, less bugs. Whenever someone releases something not as buggy as the CFW and it's compatible with newer games, flashcarts will most probably die.

Im currently at 9.0 SysNAND and 9.5 EmuNAND, but if i were to downgrade to 4.x, would i lose my saves? Since EmuNAND still is on 9.5?

Depends on the game. Most newer games use new save encryption and thus corrupt saves when downgrading.

    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.

    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though

    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.
