Hello the title says it all, with gateway releasing 3.2 and the new nvram feature could i downgrade just my sysnand system settings to 4.5 and use that? im trying to use 3dnus but im paranoid as i dont have a hard mod and would appreciate someone input....hopefully someone else has done this, anyways thanks for your time.

Edit: for anyone hoping to use the cia from gateway on 3.2 on a o3ds,2ds,o3dsxl, it can be installed but i am being told that the launcher.dat crashes so another update from gateway is required to have a 4.5 system settings and mset on sysnand 7.X

ok and this goes to tony_2018 aswell i did not mean using gateways method. ok so if someone with knowledge of installing a 4.5 system settings cia from 3dnus could help not just people coming from a 3.2 gateway thread. other users like apache thunder has talked about installing system settings on other version but i remember some talk about it being built into other firmware features and maybe not being possible

so my question is using 3dnus and the usa title id for system settings will i be able to boot sysnand 8.1 with a 4.5 system settings and go into gateway mode without any recoding or editing of files

so, the gw update is mainly for new 3ds and not for o3ds or 2ds,
therefore, 2DS and O3DS users only get an Emunand support for 9.7.

and that means that there is not gw update for 2DS users like the meet method or BOOT CN of OOT :nayps3:

yes it is for n3ds only i have a 2ds what you have to do is download system settings for 4.5 and install it as a cia but once again im not sure how easily this will be done, other users have attempted it in the past with o3ds

I don't understand your point, you can downgrade System Settings, you can do so using the Gateway method, and it will be the same as the CIA you could obtain from 3dnus should be the same as the one you use with GW method.
If you ask if it will enable the mset exploit, yes it will, but it will not work with the current version of launcher.dat, it will crash, but the thing that needs modification is launcher.dat, not the CIA.

sorry working means skim reading and when i see 6 other comments i may lose who its directed too, so your telling me that the n3ds system settings is the same title id? i was told installing the n3ds gateway supplied cia wont work on the 2ds,3dsxl etc. not the current version being the key work....sigh oh well others said i should be able to do this no problem but i guess some dont know.

Why has no one thought of downgrading MSET to 4.5, then use the Blue Card to install the exploit?
If they have, my apologies.

As of what I read in the big Gateway 3.2 thread, many people tried it and the System settings works in old 3ds xl.
The part that fails is using the launcher.dat from Gateway, when they install the old CIA use NVRAM and go to DS profile it just crashes.
The reason because it crashes seems to be that the memory mapping in the launcher.dat is not adequate for FW9.2 using mset in old 3ds.

it seems like others have, i have read random threads here and on a certian iso site that syas its possible...

sarkwalvein so your telling me the only option is to wait for gateway? damn sucks seeing the pros with everything running because i dont have the skills to set this up myself..

Yes, I think the option is waiting, but I haven't done test myself, maybe there is a way around.
I suppose it should be a very simple modification, so perhaps Gateway will release a small update soon. (Oh, I am joking myself, soon...)

-edit- The below was meant for the n3ds. disregard.


Because the blue card isn't recognized, and in order to do that you need to install the timewarp.cia file, in order to install the timewarp you'll need some way to get devmenu or BBM to work without GW.

Its been tested, you want to see the results please look over the main GW 3.2 thread, skim like you did here. If the question was asked and has been answered than a little bit or searching doesn't help.

yeah, your right HarEllis6202 on the downgrading part, but it works of system settings only? the downgrading part i mean?
a 4.x ds profile eploit on 2DS is highly unlikely as the 2DS never had 4.x fw on it, it's stock fw is 6.0.

if gw can make an exploit that allows ds profile to run on newer fw like 7.x -9.x sysnand that would be great :)

installing .cia files on sysnand is a bit eiffy as you risk messing the system up, but if your careful then your safe. safe being depends on what you install to sysnand that is.

also on random question:

my O3DS is sys 9.5-22, can i use the GW_INSTALLER.nds to downgrade sys settings to 4.5 and then load gw or downgrade or such?
when i mean to load the GW_INSTALLER.nds file mean from an nds cart like R4i Gold Plus.

will something like this work?

    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves

    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
