Are my old Gateway 3DS cards (red/blue) still useful for playing .3DS and .NDS ROMs?

[QUOTE="mikefor20, post: 8848264, member: 152834"] I think you are missing the point. The point is to get on to Luma but still use the Red card just for archival purposes and such. I will update this post with links and everything, bear with me. Are you using your SysNAND right now? If your GW is your usual method that needs to change. YOUR plan of action and best case scenario with all the information I an presented with is: [LIST=1] [*]BACK UP YOUR SAVES.

I feel like school, back when I was actually in school, was more entertaining though, because of how much I get to interact with people, hang out with friends, and other stuff like that. All I get to talk to at work is my boring coworkers lol
