Homebrew Gateway 3DS: What is the gray card needed for?

[Xeonhawk]

Why does the Gateway 3DS come with two cards, and do you have to put in the gray card every time you boot the system up? Kinda confused but I plan on getting a gateway once it supports 9.2.0 =)

What gray card?

I think he's referring to the red card.

The blue card will propably be irrelevant for > 4.5.

Thinking about it, wouldn't it be the blue card since only the blue card's sticker is blue, the card itself is gray? w0dash said enough about it if it was the blue card.

You're right.. I was thinking it was black for some reason.

Yeah, I meant the blue card. Do you have to put in every time you boot the system up??

On 9.2, probably not. They've done away with the DS profile exploit.

It is probably done through the mii app and the qr code

To hack into Nintendo's Mainframe (<--- anytime you hear this word in a sentence, it means Level 5 1337 hacker SkILsZ are required) and retrieve important packets (codename: Ketchup).

that's what I thought at first as well but I just tried booting it up without using the blue card and it still works. looks like you only have to do it once. wish I tried it sooner though

The Blue Card is practically useless on later firmwares since the DS Profile exploit is blocked and the card itself is blocked from playing DS roms on the 3DS.
