Hello, not long ago got a 4.5 3ds and a gateway. My first 3ds. I've been enjoying it but i'm really missing eshop/online stuff. Looking into solutions (other than waiting for the gateway update) i read about the hardware mod, looked it up, and it sounds great. the work to do it myself is well within my skills, and i have found many resources detailing this. my questions are about AFTER the hardware mod is done, and how different services react with this mod.
As I have not had a standard 3ds, and admit I have no idea how eshop downloads/accounts etc function. I don't really know what to expect here. where and how are these downloads stored? If I update, access eshop and download something, then backup my updated NAND, when i later load that NAND, will I have any issues with eshop downloads?
my next question may not be able to be answered yet. as far as i know, emuNAND users only had access to the eshop for ~4 days before nintendo updated. I was curious how eshop may have handled hardware mod systems like this. for instance could i buy an eshop game on emuNAND, then update and then re-download the already purchased game on current version?
and as a bonus question! I take it gateway did away with the whole "close, press x to save or lose it" thing? i've only played 2 games, so i may have just gotten lucky and never lost a save.
Thanks, all!
(sorry i had to edit this about 8 times, for some reason trying to bold a sentance caused a paragraph to disappear? took a few edits to figure it out)
