ok, i did something wierd.
I have a 4.4.0 3ds console and a gateway flash card. I installed gateway fine and got games working and then i went and tried to update emuNAND. I however did not format it using gateway. When the system update finished, it said "error, reboot". I did and parts of version 7 were present (miiverse) but in system settings it still said version 4.4.0. I can not boot gateway back up and can not use blue card either.

If EmuNAND fails just format your SD card and do it again.

I don't understand anything on the backing up emunand thing. I looks like its involves soldering and connect wire to this and this. Looks risky. I want to transfer my downloaded things on my main 7.1 xl to my 4.5 xl _@


Cant say i've done anything with system transfers -- for the NAND backup, you can actually back up your NAND on a 4.x console using gateway's launcher (even if you don't have a gateway card), although restoring NAND does in fact require soldering to do......also not sure what your intentions are, but you can't push a NAND from one system to another.

I'm just learning how to use my r4i Gold 3DS... How do I make a NAND backup with it safely? I'm deathly afraid of screwing up and updating my real nand.

the problem is i dont think i was in gateway mode when i updated. I could play games and then went into settings and updated. I tried formatting sd and the 3ds itself but i canteven get into the gateway menu using L+DS Profile.

I was thinking that i could buy a game that is 4.5 and update (from 4.4). Will that refresh gateway and give me another shot?

If you restart the system and still see 7.x features (Miiverse, camera, ...) then it's likely your system is already on 7.1.
Try a DS game.

useing a ds game to reset it didnt help, it still crashes. In system it still says 4.4 but all other changes suggest 7.1. also holding L before profile does nothing,doesnt even crash anymore yet i cannot access the store or miiverse, it says you have to update.

I got a gateway recently and I am in the very beginning step where a guide would ask me to format my microSD card. When Im formatting it, what allocation unit size do I format it on? Its automatically put at 32kb. Should I just keep it there?

I need 2 microSD cards (one for blue and one for red)? Could I simply use one microsd card and switch them between blue and red?

If you are just using GW for 3ds ROMs, (wont be running ds roms on your 3ds) run the exploit using the blue card, and then reformat the microsd card again for the red card and you're all done. If you have a large micro card, I suggest formatting it in exfat. (Just for the red card)

I'm short on sd cards at the moment so I use the same card in both, formatted fat32. Works fine. When I get a chance to get a spare, I'll try exfat for the red card.

I just got a 32GB SD card. but I'm using the original 2GB which came with the 3DS..
  • how can i transfer my emuNAND to the new SD card?
  • if i transfer my emuNAND will the emuNAND expand as i get my more games from the eshop?
  • the only thing i have in the emuNAND is super mario bros. deluxe ATM will i be able to download that if i create a new emuNAND?

Hi, I got hold of a 3ds xl on 4.4 (UK/EU). I was wondering if the gateway region free/spoofing works and if it bricks the console. I don't have a flash card yet.

It works, you can play roms and cartridges from other regions. Some people have had trouble with Monster Hunter 4. No bricks reported from the latest Gateway version.

She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
