You don't need to import a game.

Gateway 1.0 used a crude image writing system with 1 game per micro sd that basically turned the Gateway card into a 1:1 copy of the game. The good news is that this method keeps the update partition! So find yourself a copy of Gateway 1.0 (we can't link to it but get creative with the download urls on Gateway's site) and a rom of a 4.x game and get crackin. Just be SUPER DUPER CAREFUL to not have an update installed from Nintendo's servers. DO NOT CONNECT TO THE INTERNET EVER UNTIL YOU ARE IN 4.x EMUNAND.

Also make sure you don't update the FPGA of your Gateway card with the 2.0 release until you're on 4.x. Gateway 1.0 doesn't work with and updated FPGA.

gateway only work in 4.0 through 4.5.TS refer to fw 1.0, so it is not possible to update to 4.5. he/she still need actual retail game

You can also make your real connection in emunand, and then just delete it in sysnand. I don't know about 3DS, but on WiiU having a fake connection set up leads to a bunch of annoying nag popups you have to dismiss over and over again, so just deleting may be the easiest thing.

Actually from my experience once you have no connections in sysNAND and you use emuNAND it copies over. Don't know if it matters, but 4.3.0-9U sys, and 9.2.0-20U emu. Making the stub connections just ensures it won't get overwritten.

So I also got my hands on the gateway and installed everything. Everything went fine, untill I installed emunand. It worked perfectly, but then I updates my emunand. Now, everytime I try to acces Emunand, it gives me a black screen. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks!

9.3.0 does not work in emunand at the moment. but for now you can use a rom to update emunand to 8.1.0J should be enough to play all games for now. check http://3ds.essh.co/ for 8.1.0J games. then once gateway updates for 9.3.0 emunand support you can update emunand. to update using a rom i think you need to hold up when booting gateway mode or something like that.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
