From what I notice here are some difference I've seen from 2.01B to 2.02b
1) No more static screen when entering gateway mode/emunand
2) A bit of a longer loading time maybe 2-3 more second
But after 3-4 tries it did not freeze like 2.01b would while loading Gateway mode which is a great gain then loss.
3) Region Spoofing now works again and while loading out of a game after saving there seems too be no more freezing while exiting which is a huge plus for me as no more worrying about loss of progress.
4)Like everyone said Eshop works again; All new addition such as Miiverse works
5) Going to system settings does not freeze at the 3DS logo anymore but does leave Gateway mode.
6) You can update the plaza
V3.3 now nothing new except you can buy new games for Street passes/Plaza and you get a free Mario pixel hat. Change hat became change outfit which I am assuming the new games gives outfits now
But for me at least the system freezes when trying to look up the price for the new plaza games so watch out! It however works when choosing to buy at the first option which in turn if you never brought one gives you an option to buy 4 of them for $15 instead of $20 if you round $4.99 a piece
7) I lost my current Mii plaza data no idea why, I guess the new plaza does not work with my original So if anyone can find a fix for this I would be grateful!
Hey, sorry if i sound stupid. Very new to all this. Basically if I have gateway, a 4.5 3DS.. can Is till play Pokemon if I buy it retail? If so, how? What is this Emunand thing? I have tried to read to get my head around it but its all so foriegn to me! Can you still play online on legit games you buy?
Yes you can play retail in Classic mode with all the latest games. Emunand is what it names says to emulate the system Nand so instead of Updating our Original System Nand we use a copy of that Nand in our SD card to update instead receiving access to the Eshop and all the latest feature while keeping our original Nand to 4.1-4.5 .
Is it best to update the previous 6.x emuNAND partition?
Or it best to start fresh with a new SD card and make a new emuNAND for 7.1 from scratch?
I chose to formatted my Emunand Through Gateway GUI to be safe and updated after. The new 7 Seems better to me
