Here is what Gateway themselves have said on their own website.@garyopa do you know if the 10.3 support is not just a downgrade methode but full support like on firmware 9.2 ?
With the new firmware update we would like to STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST UPDATING your sysnand to any version higher than 10.3 (i.e. 10.4 or higher), as we will not be able to support sysnand firmware version 10.4 or higher anytime soon.
Currently there exist homebrew methods to downgrade from 10.3 to 9.2, allowing you to use your Gateway card already.
But the downgrade method is not recommended as it is error prone, dangerous and can lead to bricking.
We would like to provide our users with a more safe method, and this is one of the things we are working on.
I know what they said. But they said that downgrade is one of the things that they are working on and I am not sure if the "other things" are full 10.3 support or not...Here is what Gateway themselves have said on their own website.
Let's spin the question the other way around - is there any reason to not update? After all, the whole point of EmuNAND is so you can use as new a version firmware as possible.
I'd just update. But I recommend backing up using EmuNAND Tool first. I've just spent all night reinstalling everything after a failed updated (forcing me to format EmuNAND. No biggie, but 2 hours work).
1 - http://gbatemp.net/threads/n3ds-xl-firmware-by-version-number.381479/ (though any 3ds can be downgraded if its new)Can someone please answer my simple questions? I would very much appreciate it!
1) If I buy a new 3ds xl right now what firmware would it be out of the box?
2) Connecting it to wifi will auto update to 10.4? sysnand+emunand?
3) I am guessing that will be a problem, so is there a way to only update to 10.3?
I feel like I missed the opportunity to do this because I was saving up money for a 3ds and now this stupid update comes
The cheats folder belongs on the red cardHi everybody someone can help me please?.
I have a new 3ds xl sysnand 9.0.0-28 U and Emunand 10.4, when gateway v 3.6.2 comes out i only have sysnand and cheats go well but with this comming out i go emunand and everything was ok but when i try to cheat a game that before in sysnand i can, now i can´t in emunand and get the error message "could not load cheats" why this happen? D: someone can help me please
PD: i´m sure the ID of the .txt it´s ok.
NTR is not required for the new version of the translated DLC pack.No, you'd have to use a CFW with NTR. Gateway doesn't have perfect signature patches yet, I don't think.
Thanks for the clarification.NTR is not required for the new version of the translated DLC pack.

Thanks a lot for the info, im a bit noob but just to clarify, I buy a new 3ds, it auto updates to 10.4 sysnand and 10.4 emunand and gateway will still work? or will it need sysnand at 10.3? This is my biggest confusion right now. Do the sysnand and emunand need to be kept at separate versions?
Yes, once you've got the newest Launcher.datSo can update emunand to current firmware ?
Never, never, never update your SysNAND.Thanks a lot for the info, im a bit noob but just to clarify, I buy a new 3ds, it auto updates to 10.4 sysnand and 10.4 emunand and gateway will still work? or will it need sysnand at 10.3?
