Micro takes .3ds/3dsz, big sd takes .cia. you need dev menu or Big Blue Menu to install .cia
That is not what I meant.

I know CIA gets installed to the DS SD card then installed on system correct? Does the CIA install the SD or internal memory or both?
Is it better to install a CIA to have your game on your DS ( I guess you would do this for your top played games)
Then install other games you can select from a menu on the gateway for frequently less played games on the microSD on the Gateway card. Correct?

I don't even have my GW card yet, but since I'm a total GW noob I have a few questions:
1. How in the hell do I set up emunand? I understand what it's for (playing newer games, eshop, online, .cias I THINK) but I have no clue how to get it working.
2. What is the real benefit to using .cias over .3dses?
3. What is a .3dz?
Sorry for the noobish questions, I just never used GW before.

I am going to use this.

.cia installs to the SD card. For faster load times, install as .cia.

Well I must say gateway 3.0 is great! Very satisfied with the product. Can't wait to see what the final software will be like. Impressive for a beta.

1. You just format the EmuNAND from the Gateway menu. When you do that, Gateway will always boot into EmuNAND thus leaving your SysNAND untouched. You can then freely update within EmuNAND as long as Gateway support the latest firmware.
2. Depends. With commercial retail games (i.e. roms), not much benefit. Games will be stored on the big SD and selectable on the system menu. But you still need to use the Gateway card regardless, so there's no real advantage to .cia files for comercial games.
With homebrew however, .cia files are better because Gateway do not allow access to all resources to developers using .3ds files. .3ds homebrew will not have sound, for example - .cia versions will. So use .cia for homebrew.
3. .3dz are basically renamed .3ds files with the header modified to allow online play.

I think it's going to be out in 28 months, 18 days, 8 hours and 23 seconds.

See, I can pull random timescales out of thin air too.
