I can't get the GW Release 1.2 working on my 3DS.
I put the 1.2 Launcher.dat on the SD Card and when I go to Profile > Nintendo DS profile my 3DS just freeze. It doesn't reboot in Gateway mode.
I can hear the music of the 3DS settings but I have nothing on the screen and my 3DS just freeze here.

I have no problem with 1.0/1.1 Launcher.dat
I think you probably pressed the L button while entering Nintendo DS profile. You do that only if you want to run the diagnostic tool. If you don't, just launch without the L button. To exit the diagnostic tool (where you still hear the music playing), just press the R button.

so if my card does not run the test, only goes red to green immediately does that mean I have a bad card?
 
Hi everyone. I just noticed the new update 1.2 for the gateway card. I have never had any problem what so ever with my gateway. and it seems this update maybe unnecessary? And another thing, I dont understand the testing parts coming with the new update, is it recommended ? do i need to do it or something. should i even install the new update?

If everything's working I wouldn't bother. The update just added support for specific regions and a diagnostics tool, and was released within a week of the first major shipment of Gateways. I plan on waiting until they introduce new features/stability fixes and have ample time to test it.
 
So, I've watched closely thru all test steps and it switched red, yellow and teal fast and it blinked blue constatnly and now it lit green after finishing. Yet I've tested two of my ROMs and they're both not displayed in main menu. I can go hang myself now? :dry:

You mean the games wont show up in the gateway mode?
 
I still really dont understand this testing stuff myself. i didnt even bother to check it out. just gonna wait for a better update.


If your Gateway is fine, no need to really update to this revision. Don't try to fix what isn't broken, lol. :)
 
data corruption rom bullshit ... seem the gateway need Reset GW SPI FLASH to work well
because rom EURO or US like new super mario and mario land 3D was not working for me, now seem working well for me ....


New Super Mario bros 2 is not working for me, but it gives a weird "an error has occurred" message, nothing about the gamecard being removed. By the way, the European NSMB2 works fine, it's just the American version that is not working.
 
so if my card does not run the test, only goes red to green immediately does that mean I have a bad card?
Mine did the same too, anyone know if that's a bad card or good card? I have the 1g test rom in the red card and it goes from red to green, then just stay green, didn't get the blue light.
 
Merry Christmas
