New 3DS firmware - 9.0U

Working y/n - YES
Worked exactly as described! super easy and straightforward. first try, i got so caught up in the excitement i forgot to put the new launcher.dat on my NN3DS XL microSD.. so the exploit just led to black screens. I was super bummed, then, as I thought through the process, and got to the stage (in my head, at this point) where you press A, I thought, "pressing A should boot the gateway launcher from the SD card... DOH!" and promptly put launcher.dat on the microSD, at which point the whole process worked perfectly. Now here's hoping my original saved game is restorable!!! I had never played through OoT on N64 (i had the special version gamecube disc but didn't spend time to finish the game), so this is kind of my first time playing it, and I've finished link between worlds and much of majora's mask 3d, and had decided to go back and play OoT (which i bought within a month of launch), and that is the main game I"m currently playing on 3DS.. so when i heard the exploit required overwriting the save slot, I was a little worried...
Now, I AM happy it worked, but i really don't care that much... I wanted gateway to release N3DS support so that I could use gateway on my AUSTRALIAN/EUR/PAL NN3DS.. i have sky3DS but sick and tired of having saves for US games and other saves for EUR games.. frankly i love the regular nn3ds form factor more, and the clarity of the screens. that is why I bought a EUR/AUS NN3DS.. with the belief that gateway would release support for it soon, since gateway is region-free. NOw i REALLY NEED A EUR / AUS / PAL (whatever you wanna call it) retail cart of OoT! sigh.. happy, but for now have to play downloaded EUR ROMs on the aussie nn3ds.. I don't really pirate, and would much rather be playing my own retail dumps on a region free cart like Gateway 3DS.. I guess i just have to hope someone figures out how to get regionthree (region free hack) to work on NN3DS, and use it with my sky3ds.. of course i can't update to 9.5 on my consoles or lose regionthree.
TL : DR - It worked fine on US NN3DSXL, but I need gateway for region-free on my AUS/EUR NN3DS, and only have the USA retail cart
UPDATE: thanks to the genius of sonic and some others, I'm able to use my sky3ds to run the exploit on my EUR NN3DS.. hooray!!!! finally able to play all my usa carts in classic mode!!! i could care less about roms on the gateway, i'm so happy!
