As of this moment, what is your sysnand? turn off your console completely (not sleep mode), then turn it back on, and open settings and on the bottom right corner of the top screen it should tell you your firmware version. This is your SYSNAND. If it says anything above 9.2, then you're screwed. And you must wait until someone exploits systems that are at firmware versions 9.3 and above. If it does say 9.2 or lower, say like mine says Ver 9.2.0.0-20E, then it is supported. You can use your gateway, I recommend going to their website and downloading the manual and whatnot.

Emunand is basically a copy of your sysnand. Long story short, it is what people with firmware versions 9.2 and lower use to prevent irreversible damage to their 3ds. First, you need to have a system with firmware 9.2 and lower like I mentioned above. Once you satisfy this requirement then you can use gateway. If not, then you can't.

Think of it like an onion, emunand is the outermost layer and sysnand is the inner most layer. If you mess up your emunand, you can just peel off that layer and try again. But if you mess up your sysnand, you're done since there are no more layers. Also you need to be able to have the right sysnand first before you can use the emunand in the second place. In this case sysnand 9.2 AND LOWER. So check that first. If your 3ds has sysnand 9.2 and lower then we can talk. If not, then you're better off buying a Sky3DS.
Yeah thank you for the information, until you replayed I had the time to go through this link: http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/3DS_Fl...at_can_I_do.3F_Is_it_possible_to_downgrade.3F

and it had pretty much everything I wanted to know there


about what you said on the Sky3DS, if it can work on every version of sysNAND what makes gateway better? I mean what are the pros and cons of each cart?

just want to know if I should just wait for the gateway to become available to 9.5.0 or to just buy a Sky3DS

Choose gateway if you want Emunand which brings about the possibility of installing .cia which is damn hassle and worry free with regards to playing online. Choose sky3ds if you want to keep scrolling through the list clicking that blue button to death until you reach the game you want and also if you want to dabble with .3dz and headers in order to enable online play.
Also This is in no way shape or form an exhaustive list of their pros and cons. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more on your own.

If i was in your situation with a 9.5 console, I would honestly just go for sky3ds eventhough it's a ticking time bomb ( can be patched and rendered useless at any possible moment in time all dependant on Nintendo) because I'd rather start playing backups now instead of waiting with blueballs for gateway to support >9.3 which is only possible when a new exploit is found which as of now seems very unlikely due to the advancements already made with 9.2 and lower. (CFW, etc)

Go put it in rice for 3 days
Haha, no. It was already at the popping stage by the time I first posted.
I'd already tried turning it on, the backlight flickered and it stayed on for about 2 min. Now it won't boot, it just pops and shuts off immediately.
Besides, rice is the equivalent of doing nothing and it only soaks up the liquid. Juice also gets sticky unlike water evaporating after a bit.
