You can try. I'm sorry I can't give you a more precise answer, I'm not really sure about the folder hierarchy. Just keep a backup of both SD cards and you can move stuff around till it works.

Wow, even with the transfer, the save file doesn't show up. I tried ever combination I can think of.

I just bought a used 3DS XL and unfortunately it was already upgraded to 5.1. Is there a way to install EmuNAND on it so I can play updated retail games without updating my real firmware since its above 4.5?

Nope. If you're >4.5 you can't do ANYTHING other than play retail games and update real firmware.

So I noticed that since omega was released, there's been a bunch of jap ROMs and a handful of eshop files (poke bank, poke transfer, YouTube) dumped as well.
Is gateway good2go with region free roms?

IIRC DS/DSi games don't work in EmuNAND

Can someone tell me what's the best way to proceed with switching from an r4i deluxe to gateway? Just wipe the r4 launcher and replace?

I searched and went back a few pages in this thread and cant find an answer.

I updated to 2.1, but when I try to load up a game the save file is not recognized. I rechecked the SD card and the save files are there.

Are <2.1 saves not compatible with 2.1?

The only difference I can think of is that the save file was originally created with a trimmed version of the rom I think. I'm using an untrimmed version now.

Hello, the name's Jelal, I'm new over here.
I'd like to know if it is safe to update the emuNAND under the gateway classic mode. I'm currently using the latest 2.1 omega firmware.

Are you using the same version of the rom? I.e you haven't switched from a EU release to US or something like that....also your saves stay on the Big SD ....just in case you thought they go on the micro sd now

Hi. I just bought a 3DS XL with 4.2 Firmware and the 3DS Link flashcard. It works ok with games from my region, but Monster Hunter 4 (japanese) isn't working. I start the game and it just sends me back to the main menu again; hasn't region lock been bypassed for a while now? At least according to their website...
Thank you in advance.

Hello Everyone,

I just got the gateway yesterday and I'm already on omega. Question, is it true that the save files are bound to the .3ds file? As in, if you want to keep your progress, you have to continuously back up the file you are using to the computer?

Thanks

What? The saves are stored on the big SD card of the 3DS. But you don't have to backup anything.

Hi!
Well after about a month of lurking, I finally signed up for some noob questions!
First, I just want to say this forum is really awesome and helped me a lot in tracking down a lower firmware 3ds xl, and in making the decision to buy gateway. So thanks guys!
Now, as a new 3DSXL owner I was wondering:
1. Should I get a case? Screen protector? I'm 24 so it's not like I'll be abusing it.. Even so, any recommendations?
2. Should I get a different stylus than the one in the package?
3. Which micro sd is best? I tried reading through the threads but it seems like there isn't really any favorite.

I'll be getting my console&flashcard soon so I'm super excited!
Thanks!!
R

Hello Everyone

First I just want to say I am a complete newb when it comes to this 3DS hacking thing.

I am interested in buying a 3DS hack card, but I dont know if my 3DSXL is compatible or not. I have look at the 3DS hacking faq but am still unsure about some questions. Here is what I know about my 3DS XL.

- It was purchased in September 2012 (3DSXL - Red)
- My serial number is SW10....... (I somehow have to know if its <= 4.5.0?)
- The current version is 7.1.0.16U

Is this enough information to tell if it is compatible with any card or not? If it is or is not, which cards will work on it?

Thanks so much all!

Nope. Anything above version 4.5 isn't compatible (yet) with "hack cards" by my knowledge.
