1. Not under normal circumstances. It is "possible" with a hardware mod but that's it's not really practical for most people.Bump?
2. Well, your purchased games would be gone should you reformat your sd card and delete emunand. With no option to redownload them. But you can backup your emunand using emunand tool so it's all good.
SD card is used to store gateway game saves, eshop purchased games, music/pictures (if you want), and emunand partition. 8gb is plenty considering only 1gb is needed for emunand. You also need ~1gb of free space if you want to backup your nand, but you can move that to the computer afterward and not take up space on the sd card.Had a couple questions while I wait for my gateway to get here.
Whats the recommended SD card and micro SD card sizes? I was thinking about getting a 64gb micro SD card to hold as many games as I can get on it but as far as the SD card, what is it actually used for? Does it store saves and dumps I suppose? Also, would you only recommend class 10 cards or does it matter?
I personally think class 10 is overkill. Class 4 is fine in most circumstances.
That's an okayish price. I got my 3ds with gateway for $180Hey guys, so I have a line on a 3DS XL along with gateway for $240. Is this a decent deal? I'm thinking of just picking this one up and then reselling my old XL, which is already above 4.5 firmware. My only concern is Smealum's SSSpwn coming out soon. Should I wait for SSSpwn to come out first and see what kind of exploits are possible, or just go with the 3DS XL + gateway for $240?
I can't read the future though. So I can't tell you what SSSpwn is capable of. It probably WON'T be capable of piracy though, so...
I would recommend Gateway for now. But as I said above, future sight is not one of my talents. So who knows if there'll even BE a 4.5+ compatible Gateway.Hello. This might sound like a stupid question, and I've been through a lot of threads and pages before asking this. I have a 3DS XL version 4.4, and I'm interested in buying a flashcard (which would you recommend?), now let's say I get a Gateway, and they release a new version making it compatible with firmwares over 4.5, would it be as a simple update that I download, or as a complete new flashcard that I'd need to buy? Thanks!
