Hey there! It's been a long while since the AKAIO days, though lurking is a habit.
As many threads that have been poured over and FAQs combed through, questions have come up and this thread will hopefully help with that.

- New 3DS XL (9.0.0-20U) (N3DS)
- Cubic Ninja (US) (retail)
- Animal Crossing: New Leaf (US) (retail; for private header)
- UPDATE: Gateway 3DS
Gateway 3DS (genuine)- Purchased from Modchipsdirect.com
- 32GB+ SDHC/SDXC
- What is the best place to purchase a genuineGateway 3DS?
- yeahgeek.com seems to be preferred for international orders
- Modchipsdirect.comseems to be preferred for US orders
- For either one, no mention of how frequent a genuine card is received
- Is there any point in purchasing an SDHC/SDXC with capacity greater than 32GB?
- Any general community preference or issues regarding SDHC vs. SDXC?
- Is there any truth to the following...?
- Card overheating?
- Increased battery drain? (allegedly due to combination of GW/Sky3DS card + game type/extension, like .3DS on a GW)
- In what scenarios does the exploit have to be performed again?
- Confusion seems to stem from sleep mode vs. power cycle (if that's even a factor)
- Coming from AKAIO days on DS, it was incredibly easy...
- Card in the slot? Boot to "CFW"/system software
- Card not in the slot? Boot to genuine firmware/system software
- What is the day-to-day like in terms of ROMs (3DS, DS) and emulators? How "plug and play" is all of this?
- There is a lot of talk about save files, patches, headers, etc.
- Post-CFW/GW, out of the box: will emuNAND on 9.6 (while sysNAND is 9.0) effectively mean the N3DS is able to be used like a genuine firmware N3DS on 9.6?
- Using NNID, purchasing from eShop, etc
