Ah, it says it's supposed to boot straight into emunand if I power on my 3DS without touching anything, right?
But when it gets to the purple screen, it trys booting to this thing called "ReiNAND". but it then says: Err: couldn't load arm9 payload...

Any ideas?

ReiNAND is another CFW for the 3ds.

Can I see your boot configuration file?

This one sir?
Thanks a lot for helping me through this by the way.

Code:

// Boot menu configuration
boot_config =
{
    // Default timeout in seconds
    // If timeout = -1, disable autoboot
    timeout = 3;

    // Some devices (n3ds?) seems to have
    // some timing problems when using timeout=0 (autoboot).
    // You may increase this value to improve boot success rate.
    // Default delay (8) should be good for o3ds, 2 seems good for n3ds
    autobootfix = 8;

    // if timeout = 0 (autoboot),
    // hold this key to enter the menu
    // keycode list : https://goo.gl/4XLDIL
    recovery = 2; // SELECT

    // Default boot entry
    default = 0;

    // Boot menu entries (11 max)
    entries =
    (
        {
            title = "ReiNand";
            path = "/ReiNand.dat";
            offset = "0x12000";
        },
        {
            title  = "rxTools";
            path = "/rxTools/sys/code.bin";
            offset = "0x12000";
            key = 0; // key to override default boot entry (A)
        },
        {
            title  = "HomeBrewMenu";
            path = "/boot_hb.3dsx";
        },
        {
            title  = "HomeMenu";
            path = "homemenu"; // magic path for homemenu, do not change
        },
        {
            title  = "Reboot";
            path = "reboot"; // magic path for reboot, do not change
        },
        {
            title  = "Shutdown";
            path = "shutdown"; // magic path for poweroff, do not change

        bgImgTop = "/yourimage.bin"; // 400x240 pixels
        bgImgBot = "/yourimage2.bin"; // 320x240 pixels
    };
};

Awesome! Glad I could help

If you want, you can change the timeout in the boot config to make it take less time to boot.

Quick question, if I wanted to make it boot Gateway mode, how would I do that?

It's possible, but it shouldn't be necessary using CFW.

Just change the boot config's path to load the Gateway Launcher file rather than the rxTools file, or add a new entry.

What do you mean it's not necessary for CFW?

CFW does everything Gateway does, except for cheats are slightly worse.

You can download CIA files from an unspecified ISO site which I may have just PM'd you and install them using FBI

It didn't work when I booted it. It just showed a black and red screen.

These are what the files look like:

How are you booting it?

If you're trying to boot it from EmuNAND it won't work (assuming you updated your EmuNAND already?)

If you're trying to boot it from CtrBootManager, can I see your config?

Should I put that in the root and overwrite the current one on the SD card?

Put Launcher.dat in the root of your SD card.
Also try removing the offset and key.

It's worth noting you won't be able to boot rxtools anymore if you delete it's entry.

Update for clarity:

It should look something like this

Code:

{
    title = "GW";
    path = "3ds/GW/GW.3dsx";
},

So if I change this, RXTools is gone?

You can't use Gateway and rxTools at the same time. Gateway is actually a kind of CFW in and of itself. rxTools is still installed, but you can't boot it because you don't have an entry.

I'd personally recommend rxTools over Gateway, but since you have a Gateway Card already it may be more worth it to go to Gateway.

Also it's still giving me a red and black screen.

I just honestly switched the RXTools previously due to I wanted to play GBA roms from CIA files converted.

Hm, I'm not sure then. From what I'm reading it should work. I've personally never used Gateway before, and don't have one to test with, so I can't help you out here.

You can either use rxTools, which would be my recommendation, or you can wait for someone who has a Gateway and knows a bit more about what they're doing to help you.

Apparently Gateway doesn't let you play GBA .CIA files. Do you know if that's true or not?
