I cant get the blue card running on My new 3DS.
Am I doing something wrong or is it simply not compatible?
If they do work, what do I need to do to the card to make it run on New 3DS?
Sorry if this makes me sound like a complete noob, it is because I am.
I'm assuming you're able to get into the Gateway Launcher and use the red card (since you aren't asking about those, and they're kinda the "main" feature). If not, there are going to be more steps involved.
Have you already installed the mset.cia file into sysNand? If not, may want to do that during the process, in order to use the NVRAM exploit.
The issue is that the blue card (and other DS flash cards) are blocked by the firmware. So the fix for that is to add entries to the whitelist in the firmware that allows the cards to run anyway.
- Put the bluecardfix.cia file (or FlashCardTimeWarp.cia, if you choose to use that instead) onto your system's SD card. If you are planning to install mset.cia to enable the NVRAM exploit, copy that to the system SD card as well.
- Put devmenu.3ds onto your Rec Gateway's SD card.
- Put the system SD card and Red Gateway into the 3DS.
- Start the Gateway launcher via your current method, while holding L to get to the menu.
- While you're in this menu, you may decide to select "INSTALL NVRAM", if you are planning to use the NVRAM exploit. Doing it now basically saves a step in the future.
- While "BOOT GATEWAY MODE" is highlighted (default option) Hold B to change it to "BOOT GATEWAY SYSNAND MODE", and then press A while holding B. This will boot your sysNand, but with the signature checks disabled and Red Gateway card support enabled. (This is a feature added to the 3.2.1 version of the Gateway launcher, so if the text doesn't change when you hold B, you need to update the Launcher.dat file.)
- Load devmenu like you would any other 3DS game, and use it to install bluecardfix/FlashCardTimeWarp.
- If you are installing the mset.cia file, you'll do that here.
Once this is done, you should be able to reboot the system, and use the Blue Gateway card while in sysNand. You can use the GW_INSTALLER.nds file to install the NVRAM profile that allows you to use the exploit using the blue card, or you can re-enter the Gateway Launcher menu and select "INSTALL NVRAM" to do the same thing. The NVRAM often gets wiped/truncated when running DS mode software (including the blue card, other flash cards, retail games, and DSiWare titles), in which case the easiest way to reinstall it is probably going to be your Blue Card.
I hope this answers your questions. If not, I hope I (or someone else) will be able to answer any you might still have.
