So I got my Gateway in the mail today. Followed a Youtube guide on setting it up...


Put Launcher.dat on SD card.

Put file for Bluecard on root of SD that goes in Blue Card.

Put both cards in 3DS, boot up, select the Blue Card....

and I get: An error has occurred. Press and hold POWER button to turn the system off.
Please refer to the Operations Manual for Details.


OK, now what?

Your doing it wrong
You need to place the Launcher.dat in your big SD Card (root folder), set up your router WiFi on your 3DS (new connection), open the browser and type go.gateway-3ds.com

This is how GW works for 4.5+ up until 9.2.

DO NOT UPDATE YOUR 3DS PAST 8.1 ONLINE AS IT WILL GO TO 9.4 AND YOU'LL LOOSE THE HABILITY DO USE GW.

Good luck!

Hold on a second... do I have to go to the freaking Gateway web page every time I want to play a game?

If you dont use gateaway for dev purpose or modding purpose their no reason to buy a gateaway... Just get a QQ3DS or Sky3DS

you can downgrade to 4.x for 3ds/3dsXL, only 2ds users are limited to web exploit only, and nope you only need to use the web exploit if you exit gateway mode.....you could pretty much never reset and never need to do the exploit again(although thats a bit far fetched....but still only whenever the console is reset or goes off would you need to run the exploit again

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I do but the optometrist I got my glasses at last year was expensive as fuck even WITH my insurance, so I'm gonna order on Zenni and see if my insurance will reimburse it. And if they won't, then, oh well, still will be cheaper anyway
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    $90 for the safety glasses on Zenni, vs my daily wear glasses were >$200 after insurance
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Haven't been to the eye doc in like 3 years but was pretty surprised they cut the glass in office had the in like an hour ready
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    That's pretty sweet, I had to wait like a week or so for mine to be ready
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Lookin at buying another pair of regular glasses too. And maybe prescription sunglasses
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah most just ship off to a lab could always call around to see if new ones have in office glass cutters
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    too much effort + im shy and social anxiety :( lmao
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I just wear them when I drive cause I'd like to actually read signs
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Think they said I'm far sighted or some bs
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    My eyes aren't that bad, I need mine for driving but ever since I got my latest pair I wear them all the time when I'm home now, I never used to before
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm near sighted though
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I feel like docs just say you're this and that for the insurance claims half the time
    +1
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    But even my computer monitors, that are like 3ft away when I'm leaning back in my chair, so much easier to see now with my glasses than without
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Doc was cool though, he measured my old glasses and I wanted to try different contacts than I had had previously and he's like "hmmm I bet you're this strength and that strength" and damn dude was dead on the money
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    lmao that clip
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Know a guy who did laser surgery for like 2g but argued you'd never need glasses again
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    laser eye surgery scares me
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    The thought of any kind of surgery shit being done on my eyes gives me unbelievable amounts of dread and anxiety, and with the potential risks or side effects that laser eye surgery has, I don't think my eyes are bad enough to warrant it. I can see without my glasses - not great, but not bad either.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah I feel that if it gets to the point where all I see is blurry then I might consider if
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Just do it like in Minority Report. Won't feel a thing.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Is it the full van? If so t's suspiciously cheap.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Ah, the 2000€ is only the deposit
