40 days after their last release, the Gateway team show us they are still alive and kicking! They are releasing an update that will please both old 3DS and new 3DS owners. Read the change log below:

Today we are back with another update: GATEWAY 3.2 ULTRA!

So let’s see what’s new:
– Latest EMUNAND support for old 3DS (currently version 9.7)
– New 3DS 8.1 JAPAN region now fully supported (multirom menu and so on)
– System Settings 4.5 support for New 3DS!
– Built-in NVRAM installer in the Gateway menu (behaves same as the Blue Card Gateway installer)

From now on, New 3DS users can rejoice that they no longer need to constantly use Cubic Ninja or Zelda Ocarina of Time to boot up into Gateway mode!
With this firmware update, you will be able to boot into Gateway mode using just System Settings, just like on old 3DS! No more extra accessories required once you have done the setup!

Just follow these simple steps:
1) Copy the Gateway 3DS 3.2.0 ULTRA Launcher.dat to your New 3DS microSD card
2) Copy mset_<region>.cia to your New 3DS microSD card (where <region> is your console region)
3) Copy “DevMenu.3ds” to your Gateway 3DS microSD card.
4) Boot into the Gateway menu with your preferred entrypoint (Zelda or Cubic Ninja)
5) Select the new “NVRAM INSTALL” option from the menu, proceed with installation.
6) Once installed, boot into Gateway mode and launch DevMenu.3ds from the multirom menu (press SELECT)
7) Start DevMenu and import mset_<region>.cia from your SD card.
8) Reboot console and verify you can now boot into Gateway mode with the classic System Settings DS Profile method. (Settings -> Profile -> Nintendo DS profile)
9) Enjoy! No more cartridge swapping required to use Gateway 3DS on New 3DS! :-)

!! IMPORTANT !!
Please make sure to install the *CORRECT* mset cia for your region, we do not recommend this for new users with little experience !!

Please be aware that this downgrades the System Settings application on your SYSNAND, so be wise and
backup your SYSNAND (and setup EMUNAND) using the Gateway menu before you do this.
Note you can always manually install a newer CIA version back of System Settings, but using our Sysnand Restore option is the recommended option.

New 3DS users might also wonder why there is no EMUNAND update yet, and the answer is simply that while we are still making steady progress on this front, there is still alot of work to be done until we get to this point. So we hope our New 3DS users will understand that we cannot give an exact end date for this yet.
Rest assured we will be able to overcome this obstacle!

As always, we cannot provide a direct link to the update file as it is considered illegal.
But you will have no trouble finding the update as it is available on the official Gateway 3DS website.

Nice.
Can us without a gateway card still use this? I have it for savegame backups and emunand creation and sysnand backup. If they still work fine then great. if they have been patched then I'll stay with my current setup.
Can we boot using the system or still have to use other ways? I'm on 9.2 so does this let me have the 4.x menu so I can boot that way?
I'm using an old 3DS on 9.2.0.20E

That's weird, are you looking at the same page?

The prayer has been answered! 9.x DS Profile Exploit! <3

Does the new method of installing the old System Menu CIA work on a Old 3DS FW9.2, thus enabling offline access to GW mode without requiring firmware downgrading, that in itself implies losing compatibility with save data on legitimate post FW6.X retail cards you have already been playing?

No, it doesn't work on old3ds. tried it myself, when trying to launch gateway via ds profile it just crashes the system to a black error screen "an error has occurred, power off etc etc".

Nice! Now I can use CN for HBM or CFW (reprogramming in DS mode gets annoying). Now to watch people whine about the next SOON...

 

[julian20]

Is mset working with 2ds???

 

[cracker]

The Title ID is the same (0004001000021000) so you would think so but on the other hand there was no mention of it in the release notes. If it doesn't, I think you are able to restore it by downloading the CIA with 3DNUS and installing it (assuming you have a copy of CN or OoT handy). Forgot there isn't CN/OoT booting in O3DS/2DS.

Sorry for the new post. For some reason hitting enter in the editor wasn't doing anything.

Has anyone gotten the MSET downgrade/exploit install to work right? I have tried 3 times now and I just get the popup to change the DS profile info. I'm wondering if they mistakenly put GW mode instead of Classic mode.

There's a huge discussion (linked to in the OP) with several people claiming to have done the process.

Did you do install it in Sysnand, using a different blank uSD card formatted with no emunand and only launcher.dat and the CIA?

 

[stanleyopar2000]

whoa! what a pleasant unexpected surprise

this means that Team GW is able to touch and access SYSNAND while in EmuNAND. Possible Homebrew CFW on SYSNAND in the future maybe?

 

[XDel]

Nice, on their page it says "English Guide Here" with no link.

 

[stanleyopar2000]

mset_usa.cia is invalid after doing the NVRAM INSTALL and booting to Gateway mode.

will redownload and try again

EDIT: Still invalid. using BigBueBox

No, I figured that's the problem. They should fix their release notes.

 

[andzalot55]

So let me get this straight, I can boot up GW mode on my 2ds with the blue GW card?

 

[stanleyopar2000]

after NVRAM Install

STILL "Invalid CIA" after using every single CIA installer on the planet.

DevMenu, BigBlueBox, BigRedBox

what gives?

 

[cracker]

There are two different leaked versions of the DevMenu. I can't look right now but I believe it was the old one (from the 4.x SDK) that installed without a corrupted message.

 

[SushiKing]

So Gateway now works on N3DS with out no other launchers like cubic ninja and OoT?
