Hacking Gateway/a9lh question

[Powerful]

okay say I have a9lh completely installed on my new 3ds with luma and fbi. I am on the latest firmware but I am going to get a gateway card so I can play ds and 3ds roms. Do I have to have emunand, or be on 9.2 still? If I do how do I do this exactly?

You don't need a Gateway card to do what you wanna do.

Well your wasting your money tbh as you can get a 20 flashcart for ds games and play your 3ds games as .cias
But anyways https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-using-luma3ds-with-gateway-on-v2-a9lh.431691/

I don't? Okay that would be even better, where do I go to do that then?

Download whatever cias you want and install them through FBI.
Just be careful when installing cias and keep a nand backup saved away in a cloud storage website just in case anything screws up.

I have a backup of everything so far and have freeshop also, didn't know if I needed that

Or if you have patience, you can wait until the nds-bootstrap-loader gets better with ROM compatibility to run NDS backups from your 3DS's SD card.

Its in the thrid line of the FAQ of a9lh guide

Q: I heard about this thing I have to pay for (Gateway, Sky3DS, etc), is that something I need?
A: No. arm9loaderhax is a superior method of loading hax that runs early in boot and opens up the opportunity for things such as true custom firmware.

FreeShop can download 3ds games too.

FreeShop can download 3ds games too.

Provided you have a legit ticket AKA legally bought games.

Please don't get a Gateway. Not only is it useless if you have A9LH, because you can already play 3DS games by installing CIA files or by using freeShop, but using Gateway with an A9LH sysNAND is an easy way to accidentally update and remove A9LH or brick.

No you can use the encTitleKeys.bin from that title keys site. (in fact the cache only caches games on that site)

FreeShop can be used to pirate games.
