from gateway website:
and the reason , well it seems that n3ds is not just a better hardware ,some major software changes can be done on it
here's the log from 3dbrew on 9.5.0-22 firmware:
as you see , they are some security features exclusively for n3ds firmware which are not present on regular 3ds
maybe the gateway team can bypass it like 7.x encryption , maybe not , who knows...
We will not be able to support emunand 9.5 or higher for a while on the New 3DS. This is only an issue for the New 3DS
and the reason , well it seems that n3ds is not just a better hardware ,some major software changes can be done on it
here's the log from 3dbrew on 9.5.0-22 firmware:
New3DS NATIVE_FIRM
The ARM9-loader has added a new keyX with keyslot 0x16 that is generated on hard-boot. The ARM9 binary is now encrypted with this key. In order to decrypt it, you'll need arm9hax on firm > 9.4, or some form of bootromhax.
as you see , they are some security features exclusively for n3ds firmware which are not present on regular 3ds
maybe the gateway team can bypass it like 7.x encryption , maybe not , who knows...
