I am going to buy gateway card soon, but I can't wait to play the games I downloaded. Can I use rxtools/cakes for now and switch to gateway later? Any things I need to do for the transition?
best cheat and region free support, also .3ds roms is a nice option for someWhy buy gateway?
you can play games on cfw
Not necessarily! If you decide not to take the Gateway route, you can install the games as .CIA files. If you decide to do that though, you'll want a large microSD for your 3DS, and you'll want to be careful of things that uninstall all of your cias (and delete their save file in the process), such as entering data management in sysnand if you have linked nands.
Personally, I do recommend Gateway if you can afford it. Most people consider it easier to setup and use, although it is definitely not your only option for CFW or playing game backups.
+1My o3DS is on 7.1. What's the best course of action?
Keep it on 7.1, install CFW and update emuNAND to 10.3?
Update to 10.3, downgrade to 9.2 and install CFW?
Already skipped & next pageI think I just read that you don't need a linked anymore, basically any 3DS can get a CF installed on it and launch anything from the sdcard.. Correct?!
N3DSXL on 10.0.3-something like that
What can I even do on the firmware? I've been forever lost on the 3DS scene. I used to have Tubehax and Ironhax on an older firmware as they were really straightforward but now I'm just at a loss
10.4 isnt released yet correct?
YesCan I install the Big Blue Menu without using Gateway? I already have the Devmenu.
R4 are for DS only... Get CFW or gateway for 3ds games.Hi Guys,
I have a 3DSXL and its running Ver. 10.3.0-28E, I have a R4 SDHC 2016 Card running wood-v162.rar + R4i-V3.6b English.
At present DS files are ok but 3DS ones wont work.
Am i doing something wrong or is it down to the firmware ect.

Thank you

BBM is the complete version of Devmenu so not sure how you installed Devmenu but not BBM.I tried using the cia of Big Blue Menu in Devmenu, but did not work. How I do that?
O3DS, Emunand in 10.3 and SysNAND 9.2BBM is the complete version of Devmenu so not sure how you installed Devmenu but not BBM.
N3DS or O3DS? which CFW? firmware?
Yeah i meant linker of course! So I can buy any 3DS right now & then easily installed CFW, then launch any backup?Yes

CF? Don't you mean CFW?
If so, yes in a way.
linked? I think you have your terms mixed up, thus hard to answer.
