I posted a topic on how I just bought a 3ds with 4.4 fw and almost a year ago my 3ds xl was bricked by the same card and since I been using the r4i deluxe with 4.0b2 I love it it works great and all the games I want to play work fine. I was going to buy a gateway this weekend but if its safe to use the r4i deluxe now I would like to save the money.
