worth noting though its either gateway or sky3ds for the 2DS.....i think most people worked around the 2DS gateway issues by using cia files which means the gateway card is only required to boot into gateway mode......other than that you can use the latest emunand, rom hacks and all the good stuff gateway allows and not be too badly effected if you happen to have one of the picky 2ds consoles,
wondering if maybe its down to a revision as some people seem to be able to use it perfectly fine and others have lots of issues
maybe 2DS users could share the start of their serial to see if its possibly down to revised consoles or something, something like
AEH 1543xxxxxx working fine
AEH 2946xxxxxx issues
might help people know if they will likely be ok or not(assuming there is any correlation between serials and people having issues)
