Hacking Question about Gateway + A9LH, with their method

[ShinkoNet]

According to Gateway's beta for A9LH downgrading, it looks very simple (Backup NAND, Use their downgrader, open up their exploit, choose their A9LH installer). I have a Gateway so this should be fine for me to use (at my own risk) right?

I currently have a broken L button so I want to use this guide after I install the exploit., but it's catered for AuReiNAND not gateway. (Do I replace AuReiNAND.bin in the zip/config with Firmware.bin from Gateway?)

QUESTIONS:

1. Is the payload that Gateway uses for A9LH outdated compared to the other A9LH forks?

2. Can I boot Luma3DS and Gateway with this install?
I want to use Luma3DS for it's advantages over Gateway's patches, however I know that if I install A9LH this way I will be launched with the gateway menu on startup!

3. If so, What can I do to get a boot manager or Homebrew Launcher?

I wish I could solve these problems for myself, but there's not that much documentation about Gateway's A9LH method that tells me about using that with other CFWs.

Thank you for being patient with my problem. Please offer me a solution.

1) Yes and no. You have ways to make GW's payload work with "other a9lh forks".
2) With GW's method ? Nope, only GW. If you want GW+Luma, use any of the "other a9lh forks".
3) Use the HBL cia provided by yellows8.

Never saw this PSA, thanks for that. I'll go the hard way then ^^

not hard, rather the safe/reliable one

It only looks harder because Gateway copy/pasted that guide and removed essential safety steps. Furthermore, if you are on an n3ds it will instantly brick you because they forgot to copy/paste the code to unbrick n3ds 2.1 emuNAND.
