Hacking GATEWAY PUBLIC RELEASE 2.3b

[MopSec]

So are you saying I can't boot into 8.1 without my Gateway Card?

Yes but you can take it out after booting into 8.1

Yes but you can take it out after booting into 8.1

I lost it a while ago.

Welp, fuck that shit. I would go "Unbelievable!", but that's totally believable coming from Gateway.

 

[OuahOuah]

Was already discussed. It is a way for users to have the real GW. You can only use a 4.x emuNAND if you don't have a red card. Or a version less than 7.x if you extracted it before 8.x update.

I loaned my 3DS to my friend and now it won't boot up Gateway when I click on NDS Profile. I've updated the launcher.DAT (simply dragged the version 2.3 one over to overwrite the version 2.1 one) and it's still not booting up.
Can someone please tell me what I need to do to fix this?

My friend also connected the 3DS to the internet when I gave it to him so I have a feeling that he may have updated the EmuNAND (it was 4.5 before I gave it to him, just like SysNAND) by accident.

It's more likely he updated your sysnand.

check sysnand, if it's 4.5 or lower try running the exploit again using blue card. It's possible he played nds games or run nds profile inside emunand. Happened to me a few times.

edit: then again if that was the case you prolly wouldn't be able to run emunand.

emunand:

see the GW3D at the begining ? it means it's emunand


sysnand:

NO GW3D at the begining means it's sysnand


If it's sysnand he updated you're screwed. Buy new console or reflash nand from backup. (i think it's possible ? dunno the details)

 

[FaisalS97]

Lol. I know the difference between EmuNAND and SysNAND. xD

SysNAND is still 4.5.0, I am unable to check EmuNAND since Gateway won't boot up.

Re apply the gateway.nds with the blue card

 

[Ashtonx]

yep blue card if sysnand is 4.5 or lower and you can't get into emunand it's prolly cause of nds games or nds profile. Just run the exploit from blue card again and it'll work.


Assuming you didn't screw up your emunand while playing with sd card.. but then again that's not the problem since you'll still be able to get into gateway menu ;p

 

[FaisalS97]

I ran the Blue Card setup again and it worked! Currently updating the emuNAND to the latest version. =D

 

[eriols]

it works really well. and to my surprise... youtube works!

Found my Gateway. Don't count me as a fanboy, but at least I can play Smash Bros. now.

EDIT: MY copy of Pokemon Y (One that I backed up using Gateway's firmware) won't boot on Gateway 2.3b. It just throws a Black Screen before even showing the "Nintendo 3DS" loading screen. Is there something I need to do to it to get it working? It worked fine on my R4.

That doesn't answer my question... This is MY OWN copy, straight from a cartridge I bought. It worked fine on my R4, so this looks to be a Gateway issue.

 

[Ashtonx]

well proper dumps work without a problem for me. The rule is that problem exists between keyboard and chair so you might wanna think about what you did that might caused it rather than saying it doesn't work it's hw fault.

Sorry, I can't think of any reason it wouldn't work. Like I said, it boots up perfectly fine on my R4 Gold Deluxe. I might go try to find a scene dump and just copy all of the data from my own cartridge to that.

 

[Ashtonx]

Well to be honest i also have no idea. Trimmed file ? Damaged rom ? Badly formated micro sd card ? (i knew using windows format tool wasn't recommended but still ignored it and had trouble running some games.) Maybe something you need to do on r4 you don't do here? Or maybe gateway has some features r4 ignores and that's why it's more picky about roms. anyway just trying to give you some ideas before maybe someone more knowledgable comes.

 

[hippy dave]

Have you tried re-dumping? Have you tried putting it on a different microsd card, or reformatting the card, or putting another copy on the card so that it's in a different place in the file system?

 

[piratesephiroth]

I always use Windows' exFAT format and everything works fine.

 

[Ashtonx]

until it won't had issue with windows format tool just a while ago.
