No, Gateway most likely will never be compatible with your firmware. Did you learn to read and write (maybe to search) just recently too?

 

There's nothing you can do if its 6.3 especially since gateway was released before 6.3 so it may never work. Also I see your a member since 2007, how can you be a flashcart noob lol?

 

So my gateway is useless? Fun....at least I have a new 8gb SD card for $90...........

Because Ive only used it a few times. It was for the kid, not me.

 

I saw this but I didnt know it meant the OS till now:

"What can I do with emunand? It will emulate the system's storage and redirect it to SD, which allows you to update the "emulated NAND" to latest firmware while still keeping your system's physical NAND storage to 4.5. This means you won't need to miss out on fun things like eShop and more."

 

Good idea. I still got my receipt too....phew. Will update if I can get it.

 

Just one more quick stupid question. It says I cant play the roms online, but if I use an actual cart of a game i can still play it online and be fine as long as I have it so that the firmware does not auto-update?

I also noticed in the software used for emulating that it has "Mac OS 3DS Imaging Tool". Is that only for Mac or is that just what is used on the 3DS?

 

You got that right, but you must know that the console will never update by itself; however, it will download the update and will be asking you for updating the console every 24 hours, so be careful if a child is going to use it. You can search about parental controls for the 3DS as an alternative for this (before connecting to the internet).

That's just a software to record raw images of a file into a flashdrive. GW only reads images of ROMs at the moment, so instead of grabbing and dropping, you use this to store a single ROM on a MicroSD for the red cart of GW.
