Hacking GATEWAY ULTRA v3.6.1 PUBLIC BETA

[DjoeN]

I tried using autoboot with gateway by renaming GW.3dsx to boot.3dsx after setting menuhax to no-button launch.
It first shows the menuhax-loader screen, then the gateway screen, then it shows the menuhax-loader screen and then all screens stay black.

What am i doing wrong here?

You just can't go renaming gw.3dsx to boot.3dsx, if you want it to autoboot GW, hexedit menuhax payload to look for gw.3dsx instead of boot.3dsx and leave your HBL at boot.3dsx

Holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit please add N3ds newest emunand support!

Gateway won't be "adding" anything that doesn't work beyond the confines of smea, derrek and plutoo's exploits (Since all Gateway will be doing is using those exploits). So, if you'd like to know what is possible with whatever Gateway intends to release, just look at any of the posts detailing what will be possible from those exploits.

I think that might be out of my league and using Ctrbootmanager only lead to black screens, too.
No clue whats going on.

Autobooting into GW mode from coldboot is probably the biggest addition and worth the update imo.

You don't need 3.6.1 for that, I have GW Launcher 3.4.1 and it works fine for booting through the .3dsx
The .3dsx just looks for a Launcher.dat and loads that, you can pretty much have any version of the GW Launcher.

That being said there is no reason not to update to 3.6.1 as it has more stuff, and there doesn't seem to be much stuff that went missing or buggy compared to 3.6

Tell me if im wrong,

Im assuming I will still need Cubic ninja to install homebrew channel.. even with Gateway.

Steps I've done to get to the point I'm at:

Replaced Launcher.dat from the new release of GW. 3.6.1. Booted into Emunand..

Now how do I install Homebrew Channel "Gateway homebrew Application".......

Im stuck

Try updating your homemeuhax to 2.1, worked for me.

I'm probably wrong but as I am on 4.5 sysnand that would mean having to update to 9.2? just from reading some of the posts on this thread I reckon I would end up bricking my 3ds so I think I'll give it a miss!

If it aint broke don't fix, so stay on 4.5 sysnand.

Im gonna go to the nearest store, buy a N3DS XL and slowly but gently fuel the HYPE TRAIN. Choo choo motherfuckers, choo choo!

 

[KingpinSlim]

A tutorial on how to reliably set up Gateway autoboot would be nice, since nothing mentioned in this thread has worked me so far.

Is there a way to make HB Channel to make directly lauch Gateway Homebrew?

I renamed the gw.3dsx to boot.3dsx on my root and it auto boots in gw mode for me...

 

[kheldar]

This worked for me too.

Yup, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work

 

[KingpinSlim]

Yup, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work

And yet for me, it simply doesn't.

Menuhax screen, gateway screen, menuhax screen again and then black screen.

I may plan on buying another 2DS. Just deciding to sell something that is worth just as much as a brand new 2DS.

 

[kheldar]

I like this new update. I love how I can boot into GW mode by just turning on my 3ds

@Plasma Shadow Here's my boot.cfg:

Spoiler

// Boot menu configuration
boot_config =
{
    // Default timeout in secondes
    // If timeout = -1, disable autoboot
    timeout = 0;

    // Some devices (n3ds?) seems to have
    // some timing problems when using timeout=0 (autoboot).
    // You may increase this value to improve boot success rate.
    // Default delay (8) should be good for o3ds, 2 seems good for n3ds
    autobootfix = 8;

    // if timeout = 0 (autoboot),
    // hold this key to enter the menu
    // keycode list : https://goo.gl/4XLDIL
    recovery = 9; // SELECT

    // Default boot entry
    default = 0;

    // Boot menu entries (11 max)
    entries =
    (
        {
            title  = "Gateway";
            path = "/3ds/GW/GW.3dsx";
        },
        {
            title  = "rxTools";
            path = "/rxTools/sys/code.bin";
            offset = "0x12000";
            key = 0; // key to override default boot entry (A)
        },
        {
            title  = "HomeBrewMenu";
            path = "/boot_hb.3dsx";
            key = 1;
        }
    );
};

Again, make sure you are using Menuhax 2.1.
