I'm not sure but wouldn't Gateway have to support B9S for it to load .firm over .bin? Unless you chainload it through Luma I guess.....

.firm for Emunand9 -latest version 20160919. Tested and working.

Could you redo it for Decrypt9 (20170414), EmuNAND9 (20170118), and Hourglass9 (20170320)?
Here are the one's you requested.... I also included SafeMode9 (20170415) and SafeCTRTransfer (20170508).

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Help if I uploaded them. Sorry for the 3x post.

Currently every CFW converted with that tool fails to boot, I would know because I sent both Corbenik and ReiNAND to test. Both of them resulted in a black soft-locked screen and chances are extremely high that gateway will result in the same thing.

Yeah he said it didn't work. Good to know though! Thanks for testing the others :D

Well if anyone cares, I tried it with Bootanim9 as well to no avail. Even tried editing the payload to look for "boot9.firm" instead of arm9payload, and same thing. I'll wait for someone else or @Wolfvak to look into it.
I heavily suggest you suggest this on this his thread
https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-bootanim9-custom-boot-animations-for-arm9loaderhax.420202/
He tends to respond better when you keep suggestions, issues, etc., contained to the main thread.

Looking at the way luma is converted to a firm, it uses the elf file and not the a9lh.bin. Try using that instead for Corbenik and other CFW's. The command would be firmtool build test.firm -e 0 -D <.elf> -C NDMA
I will give them quick test later since I am actually extremely tired. Spending the whole night testing and working on sighax related stuff can tire a girl out.

I would do it myself, but I'm too lazy to figure out how to use corbenik
I think it might just be faster if I hit up one of my friends to help out then. Sending a few messages, testing will happen when I awake from my dark slumber.
Edit: Turns out one of the builds was already made with the .elf version. So that won't work either.

Gateway firm payload if no one did convert it yet
I tried to, but the arm9payload.bin for Gateway I found on the site was only like 6kb, and when I converted it 7.05kb. I'm curious if the payload you used was larger, or if you did something differently.
