Hacking Running Gateway on 11.0.0.33 with Luma3ds installed

[kurt66]

Hi everybody,

after 2 hours of fruitless installing/uninstalling and fiddling with my old 3ds XL I decided to ask some help.

I have my 3DS XL with 11.0.0.33-E firmware and I have my white Gateway flashcart. But I cannot get my Gateway to work/boot. I managed to install the latest Luma3ds and Homebrew is booting up nicely when I hold down R button but obviously I cannot/do not know how to use the internet browser as it comes up with the 'update needed' message and simply put - I'm stuck. Can someone please point me to the right direction? Thanks,

There's a .bin forwarder to launcher.dat somewhere on gateway's website: download it to /luma/payloads on your SD, and launch it using Luma's chainloader feature, just forget the browser exploit

(The above assumes you're using A9LH)

Well I could only find the latest firmware packages and some manuals on gateway's website. So no forwarder files And I also followed this guide https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-using-luma3ds-with-gateway-on-v2-a9lh.431691/ without any results obviously. But just to make clear - all these files should go to the SD card and not to the MicroSD card which goes to Gateway cart, right?

I have an old 3ds XL on Luma3ds 7.0 with gateway payload. I just followed this tutorial before https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-using-luma3ds-with-gateway-on-v2-a9lh.431691/.
All files will go to 3ds memory card and not on gateway. When I boot to gateway, I press down dpad + power on. Then it will boot to Gateway menu requesting me to press L+R+select to access gateway sysnand mode.

Nope, does not work for me. Tried it twice.

I uploaded my GW setup via the link. I am using OLD 3DS XL on FW 11.0. Hope this will work for you.
LAUNCHER.DAT will go to the root of your SD card as usual.
With this setup, you need to hold DOWN DPAD+POWER to boot to GW Menu.

Thank you very much but I replaced/overwrote all the files you gave me and unfortunately it still only boots to Home menu when I hold down the DPad and Power. So I guess the only option for me to play my roms is via FBI/CIA method which makes my Gateway card redundant.
