First things first, what do you want to use the card for?

I can't link to anything from my phone, but the general steps are:

1. Downgrade to 9.2
2. Follow Gateway's setup PDF on their website

Admittedly, I feel like I've missed a step, but I think all I used was their setup guide to get myself going, although you do have the extra step of downgrading.

Word of warning, you only get one chance to downgrade. Any softbrick will force you into recovery, which updates you to 10.4 (or whatever the newest is as the time). Gateway announced a couple hours ago that they're developing a safe (safer, at least) method of downgrading, and you may want to wait for that.

Good luck, and if you need anything else, just ask!
Cheers,
Ace

There is a much cheaper way to do it, which will only require a microSD card with a high capacity (32-64gb), and you won't need a Gateway. All the games are installed directly to the 3ds

OP, if you have a Gateway card already, use it. It is (arguably) the best CFW (I realize that's up to debate and personal opinion), and if you already have it, you've spent the money and you should use it. It's also one of the easiest to use and setup.

If you follow this tutorial:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-more-or-less-catch-all-tutorial.407080/

You will be able to set up an emunand, whether it be gateway, rxtools, NTR CFW, reinand etc

Lol didn't realise you already owned a card follow the above tutorial and downgrade to 9.2, then you can use your card just fine

Use Gateway, it is organized and very easy to use.
The onky difference in 9.2 after downgrading is you just have to access the menu through the browser.

Or you can use the mset exploit or use rxtools and cold boot into emunand! *wink wink*

Rxtools not required. Gateway can coldboot now.

Oh yeah, I forgot

For a kid right? GW and load up the 3ds games, not CIA, and hand it over to the kid. No need to wait for it to install. Go have a beer.

Although the easiest is the sky3ds+, not have to worry about the kid accidentally updating sysnand.

Since when?

 

[Nirmonculus]

Since when?

Since 3.6 update I guess, just use homebrew menuhax first and change the boot name, gw provides a .3dsx file now to access the their menu, either through that or going to their site on browser. But OP hasn't installed gw yet, he hasn't even downgraded XD

No prob XD

Also Op, maybe you should wait a bit for the downgrade because Gateway will be releasing their own donwgrader app.
The thing is, we don't know how long gw will take..
