thanks! since my n3ds is literally empty, I can just create a emunand of that, and format the sysnand, and begin to install .cia's. They do sound like a pain in the ass, but once I get the hang of it, im sure it won't be that bad.
The only thing you should be using .cia for us DLC or themes (or stuff like BlargSNES) I personally think It's a bad idea to be using them when you can have .3ds or .3dz. Both are alot safer, the scene won't release .CIA (bar the NSMB2+DLC) so your using other peoples .. which as im sure you're aware could be full of any old crap. But the choice is yours![]()

I have a question before I go sleep.
Is here GBATemp UserGuides for using Gateway and instaling cia's ? I have seen "how to convert 3ds to cia , but I don't know about cia install. I see you guys talking about ir but i'm not following very well. Maybe a step to step thread ?
now does the cia have to be a certain region to instaill? how much longer i want my gw playable now that how excited im for the update
STOP right there.![]()
Don't even think about formatting sysNAND. Just format emuNAND.
If you format sysNAND, you'll need to update it to 9.4. That means no GW for you.![]()
.cia is region free once it's installed AFAIK.

I was under the impression that it'd only update you to 9.4 if it was nagging you before. If not, it'd let you format no problem??
Oh that.. Riiiight. Damn. :/It seams since 7.x (or maybe 8.x) nintendo ask you to connect to the internet to format and if there is an update then... It updates. Formatting sysNAND is only okey for 4.5 users.
I've heard the format procedure's changed in the recent firmwares but I don't know, to be honest (I haven't formatted a 9.x system). Either way, it's best not to even touch it.I was under the impression that it'd only update you to 9.4 if it was nagging you before. If not, it'd let you format no problem??

its pointless, they are usually like a 1-4gb sd card but spoofed to a bigger sie.....all you do is pay more for the same space as if you buy a 4gb card and not only that they will just break and corrupt your data..........TL : DR dont even think about themanybody know if using an upgraded micro SD card is a bad idea for holding 3ds games? I was thinking about picking up a 128gb one for dirt cheap. I know they get relatively unstable when full, but I don't think I'd fill it THAT full. Like, is there any immediate downfall to using one?
