I'm sorry for that I wrote the question on the forums, because I couldn't find "ask a question"

button because maybe I'm not 100 posts.

I know SKY3DS or SKY3DS+ need private header to play online game not to be banned.

Does GATEWAY 3DS need a private header to play online game not to be banned?

No gateway doesn't need it since it runs on cfw.Sky3ds uses a rom on ofw through a flashcard so that's why it gets detected online.Its better if you use a a9lh setup though.

The .3ds files need private headers with gateway. .cia don't And if your only using cias with gateway just get a9lh plus luma and sell gateway

Appreciate. So SKY3DS or SKY3DS+ always needs a private header to play online games.
and I need to buy a game catridge to extract a private header. Am I right?

Gateway needs a private header but if your on 9.2- 10.7 you might as well use the safer and better A9LH that doesn't need private headers and doesn't brick their users on purpose

can u salty kids stop lying about gateway already?

"Brick their users on purpose" is a load of bull... i have had a gateway card for near 2 years now and NEVER had a single issue NOR has anyone i know.

Seems to be salty kids like you who are always spouting these fake lies... gateway only bricks 3ds's if a company trys to steal their code like supercarddstwo+.

You buy a device u know us using stolen code you are just asking to get bricked.

I actually have a dstwo+ fot the emulation it has... i have the sky3ds+ aswell... and gateway and recently got another 3ds for a9lh.

Had more trouble getting a9lh to work then any of the paid carts...

I've seen people selling there's on "That ISO Site", I wondered why anyone still needed them.
I think those people are people on 11.2 with sky3ds or gateway users who don't know their are free and better ways to use cfw then with gateway

A9LH has nothing to do with online play. That comes down to either using a .3ds/z with a private header or using a .cia and only people who use gateway 3ds clones get their systems/carts bricked.

I think they are just scumbag resellers that already sold the games to GameStop but want money for the header too. I considered doing that back when it mattered but I played all my games online so kept them for myself.

Get a desired game at GameStop, bring it home and dump the header, then return it because "It wasn't the right game". Profit.

You don't know how to use gateway mate. you cant use gateway on 11.2... hec i dont think u can use it on 10+

Also not everyone wants to take the risk of and ruining their systems (had to do a9lh for 3 of my friends so far.)
Gateway is fairly easy to setup IF u have the right firmware... and if for w/e reason u decide to be legit u dont have to go threw hell to undo it... or brick ur system if u forget to backup ur sd card and it dies on you.

Gateway is better in some aspects and worse in others.

DO NOT DO THIS. 1 you would be a pathetic thief... 2 u will get yourself banned.
If someone buys that game and plays it online when ur online u both get banned.
Ps this would make YOU the exact same thing

What u do is use one of ur OWN games and just use the private header and get the .3ds file for it so u never need to use ur cart again and don't get banned. or do it with a game u do not play anymore.

Anyways the user is using gateway just use cias. no ph needed.

Btw for the Americans n the forums best buy is having a great sale on msd cards

I know you can't use gateway on 11.2. I was talking about users on 11.2 with sky3ds. Not gateway
ohh sorry the way u worded it confused me xD

But yea gateway is safer but a9lh is much nicer. mainly cazz no need to boot into a9 xD other then that they are basically the same.

A9HL doesnt need private header? even if u use gateway on A9HL..? or how do you mean this
A9LH doesn't need private headers if your using cia files. (Which you install with FBI/Devmenu). .3ds files need headers. That is why i recommend you use a9lh and .cia files. It is safe to play online with .cia as they don't need private headers.

I fermently hate cia's got all my games in .3ds So yeah. unfortunately that is the only way for me.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • 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)

    run h2testw on it

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd
