Hacking [RELEASE] GATEWAY 4.0 BETA (Private Beta Program)

[Deleted member 117573]

arm9loaderhax.bin works awesome with arm9select by @FIX94. Great job listening to the masses GW.

It works, you still need the Launcher.dat boi though on the root of your SD Card.

WHY?

 

[Deleted member 117573]

WHY?

because they did not incorporate the launcher dat into their payload.

 

[Temptress Cerise]

WHY?

I'm pretty sure I didn't write boi in that message.

Anyways, to answer your question. I don't know, it's just how it works. Ask the Gateway team why they did it that way.

At least it works.

I feel a "Did the gw a9lh installer brick your 3ds?" Thread poll coming up.

Should probably stick with the current guide for a9lh since this makes gw compatible with it now. Much safer and tested.

But yeah, I can totally see this happening with ppl too afraid to try the "non-gw" method.

WHY?

Because that's the file that makes up the whole gateway menu.
()maybe it's easier for them to only update the launcher.dat in future releases, if the a9lh.bin doesn't actually need updating)

To avoid the nag screen, use 3.7.1 or 4.0a Launcher.dat. Using 4.0a just fine.

Where is this 4.0a launcher.dat you speak of. (Havent followed gw betas soooo)

That one is actually a leaked one, so you'll have to find it on that iso site.

Welcome to the party Gateway! We're just cleaning up now.

 

[hobbledehoy899]

Because that's the file that makes up the whole gateway menu.

It's still an ARM9 playload though.

 

[VinsCool]

UPDATE: Due to popular demand we implemented a ‘arm9loaderhax.bin‘ file that can be used with existing (non-GW) A9LH installs.

It was about time.

Damn. Im tooo lazy xD Ill get it eventually

The provided arm9loaderhax.bin when renamed to x_Gateway.bin does not work with the current Luma3DS chainloader.

I was just about to do that. I guess we'll have to wait for Luma to update I guess.

 

[hobbledehoy899]

No, the payload needs updating, not Luma.

It feels so good implementing gw3ds in an a9lh existing setup, only the arm9loaderhax.bin and launcher dat needed.. well of course a9lh should be already installed

 

[Temptress Cerise]

I was just about to do that. I guess we'll have to wait for Luma to update I guess.

It does work... you need the Launcher.dat on the root of your SD Card.

I have mine setup with Luma3DS, however mine is set to the down button, so I have mine named as down_GW9.bin

 

[cearp]

No, the payload needs updating, not Luma.

maybe it needs path editing?

oh, no i think someone said, it's because you didn't have the dat file?

x_gw.bin work

 

[Rasa39]

I can still use the old 3.7.1 launcher.dat with this new a9lh.bin right?

If so then great because we don't need all the tools on the new gw launcher (unless you only exclusively use gw, which i don't think anybody does), and I can avoid that bloody nag screen

 

[Jiro2]

Has anyone managed to get the Gateway arm9loaderhax.bin to work with ctrbootmanager9? I have Launcher.dat. It works as a Luma payload, but it doesn't work from ctrbootmanager9. Do I need some kind of offset to run it?

Also, is there any way to get it to start without booting EmuNAND, short of removing the EmuNAND from the machine?

 

[hobbledehoy899]

maybe it needs path editing?

oh, no i think someone said, it's because you didn't have the dat file?

I do have the Launcher.dat, it still isn't working.
