Hacking Gateway multiplayer question

[midnight1001]

Ok so I've got a few questions not related to bricking!!!

So I own an australian 3ds which is part of the European region. So far I have only Used European 3ds roms. I know it is possible to use the gateway to play US region roms. But if I do will download play work with my brothers 3ds which is also australian? And what about local play requiring 2 cards? Say my brother gets a gateway and we both play the US rom on out australian 3ds's will it work?? Or should I just continue using European roms??
Help anyone and thanks in advance!

The Gateway does not allow Wifi play, but local multiplayer is okay. From what I remember, I was able to use a US 3DS to play multiplayer EU games with my brother, so theoretically the same should apply to you, unless the rules have changed.

I played Theatrhythm multiplayer using my Gateway emunand with my friend who was using a non-hacked console so I can tell you that local multiplayer works but I dunno about cross-region multiplayer.

Ok so playing local multiplayer requires both the console to be the same region and the game/rom to be the same region. However these don't necessarily have to be the same. So for instance I could have 2 European 3ds's and 2 gateways running US games and local multiplayer (so not online multiplayer) should work. Correct?

And what about download play? If I run download play from a US rom will a European 3ds be able to join this and play or does the rom need to be the same region as the 3ds downloading?
Thanks guys for the help !

I'm pretty sure there was a thread where someone tried download play with a different region ROM and ran it didn't work. I see no reason why local play wouldn't work though.

Apologies for necro-ing this thread, but can somebody clarify about whether online multiplayer works if you use a same-region rom? Cheers.

Online multiplayer will work regardless of region if you set up the header correctly (eg. You can go online with JP rom on a US 3ds)
However, local multiplayer still requires that you use the same region I believe

Thanks for clearing that up. I actually haven't purchased the GW yet, I'm just investigating whether it's worth it.
Is setting up the header difficult? Or, better yet, is there a guide that's up to date with the current GW revision?

It's pretty simple. With gateway rom patcher 0.6 it practically does everything for you

All you need to do is import a valid header into the rom (Either find a public one or dump it from your own cart) then edit the information to match the rom.
You might have to tweak the manufacturer a few times though as it can be kind of hit or miss.

Sweet, thanks for the link. Is there an up-to-date guide or something that contains all this type of information? It's great to know that multiplayer does indeed work, albeit with a little fiddling. Appreciate the help.

Works for gateway 2.2 and up

By that you mean that all games being linked must be the same region, or that each game must be the same region as the console running it?
