Yah, @prkiewpyne is correct. There is a 300 titles limit per a single Nintendo 3DS folder. You use 3DSBank or gm9 scripts [1][2][3][4] to rotate between multiple folders.
Can you explain more? You mean I can only install 300titles on 3ds? or I can put 300games in a single 3ds main menu folder?

Which one is easy to use 3dsbank or gm9 scripts?

All your HOME Menu *.cia games are installed in the Nintendo 3DS folder. If you go over installing roughly more than 300 titles, they'll start to disappear. To avoid this limitation, you use the DSiWare app 3DSBank or those GM9 scripts (in GodMode9) to change places for multiple Nintendo 3DS folders.

Whichever you choose and settle with is personal preference. Try each one out.

3DSBank
The nice thing about this app is that since it's a DSiWare, you launch it from HOME Menu. It'll give the option to choose a different folder or make more. Once you're done, you press (HOME) button to go back.

Tips for GM9 scripts
A quick way to get from HOME Menu to GodMode9 is by:
  1. Press (L)-shoulder + (Down) d-pad + (Select) to access Rosalina menu.
  2. Choose Reboot and hold the (Start) button to get to Luma3DS chainloader.
  3. Press (HOME) button → Scripts... → folder script of choice → etc.
  4. After the Nintendo 3DS folders has been switched / changed / swapped, press (Start) to boot to HOME Menu.

I have an o3ds running gateway emunand 11.9. I used the franken firmware instructions that I saw on the German PSX website. I then updated to 11.9 thru system update (booted as emunand)

So, I have been given a Nintendo 3DS XL.
Before I had a R4i card with some not 3d games. Doing some research I came across Gateway 3ds card and Sky3D card.
I decided to buy The Gateway after doing some research as it was cheaper.
I have received the card and it has not instruction or nothing (Hence why I am here). I cannot find a Firmware or any online help that ''helps'' me to set it up. I am quite annoyed as now it seems as a waste of money tbh.

Was wondering if someone could help me?

TIA

If you can return the card and get your money back, you should. You can do everything for free now and don't need a romcart for the 3ds; everything can be done with a microsd card. Unless there's some reason you would prefer gateway over the current stuff? I don't think gateway has been updated in a very long time.

also, try not to make duplicate post. I know you're looking for answers, but try not to create a new thread while also posting in another thread. Best advice is to search for similar threads, notice the date on the threads that pop up, and go from there. If you need any more help on anything, let me know.

Actually 123ab's patch allowed emuNAND to be updated to 11.8 with an additional patch to fix eShop compatibility iirc. As it stands, eShop gets borked on 11.9 and there is no fix at this point in time. However, it appears everything else is working fine.

So pretty much the 3 options are:
  1. B9S (with Luma) + 11.2 emuNAND for GW
  2. B9S (with Luma) + converting saves
  3. Find 123ab's patch and get GW 11.9 but sacrifice eShop until further notice
Quite frankly, if you are already having this much trouble even identifying any of the 3 aforementioned options to begin with, perhaps it would be a good idea to listen to everyone else and choose the easiest path i.e #2 with save conversion. #1 and #3 are for people who know what they are getting themselves into, hence why they are not the first recommendation.
Hey, sorry to revive this thread, so, in 11.9 I can't update game anymore? 'cause that happening to me haha Yes... I'm using Gateway emuNAND on 11.10

Or just buy sky3ds plus it can play .3ds ROMs and you can play online if you have one legit game to extract the header from.

However, I use gateway cart on 3ds system with old firmware to dump my original games just to get the headers.

I also use gateway windows software to extract the headers and inject them into the ROMs.

You can download free dlcs/updates or buy dlcs for your 3ds ROMs like legit games.

Very simple but I can dump my games but you can't.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • 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)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
