Hacking Gateway Blue Card Questions

[prototech]

I just received my Gateway in the mail in anticipation of the upcoming firmware release, but I got to wondering if the blue card would work on my v8.1 3DS XL so that I could use DS homebrew. I was trying to search several forums and people mentioned that it wouldn't work past 6.2 and that the recommended SD card size is 2-8 GB, but I didn't really find any concrete information.

I tried to put the Omega 2.7 files for the blue card onto a 32 GB Micro SDHC, and it showed Deep Labyrinth in the menu but when it loads it tells me "An error has occurred." and it prompts me to shut it down.

My question is whether my issue is from my system version (v8.1) or my larger Micro SD card?

It's because of your system version. I can't remember what version it works up to. I think its 5.x

Okay, thank you. When the new Gateway firmware update comes out, will I be able to use my 32GB Micro SDHC on the blue card?

The blue card is blocked on firmwares above 6.x IIRC. There's a .cia file floating around these forums that'll allow you to whitelist the gateway blue card and run it in Gateway mode, though.
