Before we get started...

I am back. I am bored right here, and so I am writing this anyway. So hope you enjoy!

I also got info from here as well: http://www.maxconsole.com/maxcon_forums/archive/index.php/t-284944.html

HOW TO GET ON FLIPNOTE GALLERY: WORLD USING GATEWAY 3DS

REQUIREMENTS:

- Nintendo 3DS (Duh)
- Gateway 3DS with firmwares 4.1-4.5 for DS Profile Exploit, 5.0-9.2 for Spider Exploit (If you don't have that, this isn't gonna work)
- Flipnote Studio 3D Japanese ROM (I'M NOT REDIRECTING TO THE LINK, IT'S ILLEGAL HERE)
- A clean, stable 3DS cartridge of any game with online

Step 1: Put the Flipnote Studio 3D JPN ROM over the the Micro SD, DON'T TRIM IT, IT WON'T WORK IF YOU DO THAT. But don't expect Flipnote Gallery: World to work right after this step, it won't launch the service due to it being the wrong "Game Card".

Step 2: Get the Gateway Online Patcher v1.1 here.

Step 3: You'll need to backup your Game Cartridge. If you don't know how:

- Insert your retail game cartridge into your 3ds

- Go to the Gateway menu and select "Backup 3DS Game Cartridge"

- Press [START] to dump Game. Wait for it to finish

- Press [A] To Exit

- Turn off the 3ds and Take out the SD Card

Step 4: Launch Gateway Online Patcher. Load the backup ROM on the SD Card.

Step 5: Click "Export header to file" and save the .bin file to your desktop

Step 6: Load up the ROM inside the Micro SD. MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP THE ROM BEFORE DOING THIS NEXT STEP!

Step 7: Click "Import header from file" and open the .bin file on your desktop

Step 8: A message will pop up saying "This Chip ID seems not adapted to your ROM size. Can I suggest a better value?". Click yes. (If the Chip ID is the same for both roms this message won't pop up and you can just skip to step 16)

Step 9: Copy the info from Cartridge ID on top to the Cartridge ID box below. The Chip ID box should have already been filled automatically when you pressed yes before. Click "Apply".

Step 10: Close out of Gateway ROM Patcher

Step 11: Rename the extension to 3DZ, then safely take the Micro SD out. Launch, and enjoy Flipnote Gallery: World (It's in Japanese, so sorry)!

I am sorry, but in this method, you can't pay each month with USD but Yen. If your patient, you can at LEAST wait until the English version of Flipnote Gallery: World is released! Well, IF they release it... Anyway, I'm off. Bye!

I hate to break it to you but they aren't gonna release it. They released it for club Nintendo memembers only. Nice tutorial though! (The us one isn't that good anyway)
