Hello, I have one quick question . My gateway 3DS just arrived and I don't own an SD card reader and the only SD card I have is the 3DS default one. I only have the time to go and buy one in the weekend. Is there anything I can do with the gateway 3DS without an SD card reader? Can I do anything with a micro SD reader ?

Best regards

You can dump your cartridge on your 3DS SD card. You can backup your cartridge save (if its a card1 type game) You can backup your NAND. And you can format emuNAND (but don't do it before you backup your SD contents first) The only thing you can't do is play games since that requires the roms to be on gateways microSD.

If you have a phone that uses SDmicro cards, you can copy your games by using your phone.

Yeah, he has a microSD reader, not a SD reader, so he can't really do much unless he has a microSD-> SD adaptor so he can put the launcher.dat file on there instead

Where did you get your gateway if u dont mind me asking



Playmods.uk . they send from cyprus, good price, took 8 days to arrive. Not a single complaint. Thank you all for your answers, I guess I have to hurry and buy an SD reader. One final question, the SD has to be 4gig in order to backup sysnand ?

Do you have a laptop? They always have a built in SD card reader.

    Discord, on the other hand, moderation tends to not be very nice in video game communities from what I had experienced.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    nah, discord is also a shithole. discord is good only if you have your own community with your own rules. or if you re lucky to find some groups that arent shitholes.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    as about forums, when i recently revisited some old forums i used to be regular and seeing how immature most members still are i was like "Yeap. Nothing of value has been lost.". Unfortunately it's the good, comfy forums that ended up dead or shut down, especially because of internet centralization.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I like being immature.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Let be immature online ffs.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    As long as it's not resetera, anywhere is ok really.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    resetera is just... cancerous
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    is that Ultimate Hentai Kamen at your avatar?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I see you're a person of culture.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    likewise
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    It's a genuinely great manga.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    too bad it never got an anime adaption, even in the form of OVA since a tv series would be too censored for the manga's material.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    and yeah, great manga.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    no idea why it would be censored tbh, it has nothing to explicit
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    compared to most midnight anime that air in japan
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    we talk about same japanese tv that censors shit like teenage characters smoking
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I'd rather they censor smoking than cleavage like they do in the west.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Smoking is bad for your health, boobs are good
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    actually anime have also toned down fanservice a lot at the last 2 decades. when was the last time you saw nipples in anime that isnt hentai?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    in quite a few, once the uncensored version releases
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    also seeing smoking at media wont make me want to smoke
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    even at "uncensored" home releases they still show no nipples with few, rare exceptions
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    It makes it seem cool, that's why smoking

    comercials were banned here in the 90s.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    even ecchi manga dont show nipples nowadays
