gateway GW3D 11.10 (B9S AND CFW)

access to the red card doesn't help. Other than those who insist on using .3ds format roms, the only point of GW is its superior cheat engine (specifically what it gives us to search for the cheats), and we need to be able to make the loader run on newer firmwares. The frustrating part is that it's more than likely as simple as changing the memory addresses to apply patches to (simple, if we had the source)

As for Gateway.firm, I'm well aware, as I helped out with its creation. I used a hex editor with a few file versions of GW, identified the chunk that loads the rest of the cfw (then dumped that chunk as it's own file), and passed it on to the guy who knew how to make the firm with it. I'd have to dig deep in my post history to find that thread...

 

Hello, I have gw emunand 11.2, is it working in last fw?
What steps should I take to update it?

 

Such as "latest FW (11.14)", no. But it's possible a frankenfirmwared EmuNand on 11.14.

And the steps to achieve it are on the first post of this thread and also confirmed here (I suppose):

PS: Frankenfirmwared means "partially updated".

 

Thank you so much for this tutorial, I can't believe I'm actually using my Gateway FlashCard after all this time.

Before I came here and follow this tutorial, I installed boot9strap using (safecerthax) on my Old3DS 11.13 following the tutorial on 3ds.hacks.guide and then updated to 11.14.

After I installed boot9strap and Luma3DS, I created the emuNAND using godmode9, I chose the multinand 2x (2GB for emuNAND) and then followed this tutorial.

The only problem I'm having is the system is asking me to update whenever I try to launch eShop (on both sysnand and emunand). If I go to System Settings and then update (it does not matter if I'm on emuNAND or sysNAND) I won't be able to launch gateway (black screen).

If I go and update using system settings and then downgrading using sysupdating with the 5x files provided, the Gateway will boot up nice and easy, but I won't be able to access eshop.

It looks like every change I made while on emuNAND the same happen on my sysNAND.

Did I miss something?

EDIT: I also noticed that I have just 1 folder under Nintendo 3DS folder on my Nintendo 3DS SD Card. Do I need to unlik sysNAND and emuNAND, to do that, I need to backup both my SD Card and emunand.bin and then format the emuNAND, right? (All my games and homebrews are installed on sysNAND, will I keep them if I restore after format?)

 

Hi guys, sorry for the late question. Can someone help me get my gateway working on 11.14? I just need to access the eshop to transfer my Pokemon over to my switch. Then ill look at installing luma 3ds? Thanks guys
Is the update like normal after installing the files above? Its been a while since ive used my 3ds.

 

Thank you for your response. What would be the best way to update to 11.14 while preserving my saves in gatewayemunand and normal emunand that I've played real cards in?

 

Does the eshop work? I might just buy another 3ds, transfer my Pokemon over, upload them to the bank off of that and then start fresh on my 3ds with luma.

Or could I update using this - https://gbatemp.net/threads/gateway-11-14-is-here-if-someone-cares.582960/ and then use the eshop?

 

Okay, thank you for all your information. I used to be really good at all this but when you take a break everything moves on, lol.
So can LUMA boot the emunand from gateway? I still think the easiest and safest option is to transfer them (my Pokemon) over to another console and then start fresh with luma. I'm not as bothered about keeping the save as I will just want to play these again from scratch.
There is a hack I used to use, allowed shop to work on later emunands, does this not work anymore?

 

eshop work fine in emunand on last fw
Boot gw emunand in luma3ds mode, update fw to last and go to eshop (gw would no more work)

 

Hey thank you for making this awesome thread. I finally can play with my gateway cart again.
Regarding eshop, I can still download updates for my games on the gateway cart. I went to eshop it asked to update the firmware of emunand to the latest version which I did and could access it, then grabbed the updates from eshop. After that I closed eshop then re-ran sysupdate for gateway cart to work again. My games on gateway cart started with the updates applied.
I can do this several times without issue it seems.

 

Agree, downloading the update as a cia and use FBI to install it is much less of a hassle.
