I honestly cannot see this working due to the limitations of the Sky3DS, but good luck nevertheless!
What are the limitations that would make it not work?

I have made great progress!
All parts of the jigsaw have been found, I just need to piece them all together.
I need to port the OOT exploit to O3DS but I'm hoping that isn't too hard. If someone has already done so please let me know.

The fact that they cannot emulate .cia as they need kernel access was what I was getting at.

GW is only a dumb card, everything that does is in software on the 3DS.
From what i've read, the only thing special about the GW is it has special commands for security and NAND ability (Pokemon).
By security do you mean their drm checks to make sure you are using a real gateway card?
The GW is indeed a "dumb card" and so is the Sky3DS judging by what you're doing. At that point you can scratch the Sky3DS out of the equation, use the entry point exploit to downgrade, install a CFW, run an EmuNAND partition from your SD card, install your eShop games and cartridges there and live happily ever after, no flashcart required. You're overcomplicating something that's really simple, you're trying to weld wheels onto a boiler in an attempt to turn it into a steam train - the Sky3DS isn't fit for purpose in this scenario. I'm eagerly awaiting future reports though, go on ahead, I'm just saying that it seems like busy work for me.GW is only a dumb card, everything that does is in software on the 3DS.

Fair enough, just keep in mind that there are solutions for your "problem" and they're, arguably, much better than your approach. This'll come in handy when you try to put the binaries onto the Sky cart:I understand what you're saying but I'm on the learning steam train and my boiler hasn't exploded yet!

Should give you all the necessary info regarding flashing yourmalformed creationcustom ROM onto the Sky3DS' file system.
i think the point is that setting the requirement of "making a cfw so i can run eshop games from sky3ds" is the issue here, the "from sky3ds" amendment is a complete waste of effort....you riding your boiler way past your actual destination when if you stopped and dropped the sky3ds requirement you would literally be better off, sell your now "pointless dumb card" and have your rom loader cfw.....sure ride your boiler there, but dont carry it off with you once you reach the stationI understand what you're saying but I'm on the learning steam train and my boiler hasn't exploded yet!
Provided you nail the layout, sure.I shouldn't need to worry about the layout, I'm guessing the DiskTool thingy will do all that for me.
there is everything already in place for if someone actually managed to make a cfw and owned a sky3ds, run CN, use FBI, install dev menu/FBI and there you go done, no need for anything new from sky3ds team....ofc if you where making a cfw you could just as easily make your own custom install protocol like the leaked 4.x cfw and not even need CN, there is pretty much no reason for someone looking to make a o3ds cfw to even think about CN or OOT as an entry point when any exploitable console also has access to the spider exploit or to downgrade to 4.x and use MSET (baring the odd consoles that dont have a browser installed which is like 1/10000 consoles).3DS / 3DZ ROM's are executables. Like a .exe on Windows. CIA's are archives. They cannot be run directly, but are installed through a CIA manager such as, Big Red Menu, Big Blue Menu, DevMenu, and FBI. Think of them as .ZIPs. Just because there's an .EXE inside of it, doesn't mean you can just run the .zip. You have to extract it, and in the case of a 3DS, install it. Sky3DS is only capable of running executable. Now, if someone would make a 9.X CFW that patched out signature checks , AND Sky3DS updated thier template where you can write the CIA manager as a .3DS file to the MSD, you could run the CIA manager from the Sky3DS on the CFW, install the CIA manager as a .CIA and run it from the CFW.
BUT IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN
You know if you pull this off and play your cards right you can become quite wealthy. Many others have tried and failed.
I have learned to never tell anyone they cannot do something. Who knows maybe you are "The One".
Good luck.

the fact the OP doesn't seem to understand these basic facts doesn't exactly fill me with belief they will get very far
Her name is Penny Morecash, I just noticed lol
no you can install them, but unless your in a cfw with signature checks patched you can only install signed contentAre you telling me that it is possible to run CIAs via CN and FBI?
