Hi guys,

After 3 months of being boxed, my N3DS is finally ready to be used :) Yesterday I received OOT that I orderd from AUS and did the save transfer and got gateway working on N3DS.

So, first thing what I did was make a backup of my NAND and now I want to run the highest firmware that is supported by gateway emunand N3DS (I believe it is 9.4 ?). I am currently on 9.0 :)

What is the best way to do this ?

Thank you all in advance and sorry for my crappy English.

Yeah, you're a bit late. Latest firmware was 9.5 and just this Monday 9.6 came out. Unfortunately, your OOT came a bit too slow and as of now emuNAND does not work on the N3DS for 9.6.

However, don't despair, as having an updated emuNAND is more or less unnecessary unless you want to update your roms/carts easier.

If your N3DS is AUS, use the Cooking Mama (EU) rom to update your emunand to 9.2.

If your N3DS is US or JP, use Code Name Steam or Majora's Mask to update your emunand to 9.4.

Be absolutely certain that you have formatted emunand before updating from a rom. If you haven't, you will brick your 3DS.

To update from a rom: Hold DPAD UP while entering Gateway mode.

make sure you have made emunand first though, you don't want to accidently update sysnand if you are updating via classic mode

Thanx for the info.

lolboy, if your N3DS is on sysnand 9.0 or 9.2, just create the same emunand. Updating your emunand from either 9.0 or 9.2 using the above method JUST ISN'T WORTH THE RISK as you wouldn't gain anything from being on 9.2 or 9.4 emunand.

If it was the latest 9.6 emunand, then yeah you would gain online connectivity, game updates, etc.

Again, why do you even wanna be on 9.4 emunand when 9.0 or 9.2 emunand works just fine?

First time hearing this :) So to be sure:

- Format sd for emunand (which I already have)
- Cooking mama rom on gateway
- Enter gateway mode holding DPAD UP
- Start the game and update ?

You have a good point. Maybe not worth the risk.

I don't think you need to start the game and update, GW pulls the update off the ROM and installs it. At THIS time there is really no reason to do this. So any risk is not worth it,

There are also a couple of tools that can download the updates from nintendo servers. Updatecdn or something like that. There is a thread about it, I think cearp is involved.

Just hang tight and enjoy your new games. :)

Just wait gateway (what wait for gateway?) release a new beta that supports 9.6. Let´s just hope Nintendo didn´t implemented that encrypt keys in the right way again.

Ummm, with a N3DS you can easily download the SSB 1.0.5 update CIA and install it... Not that hard to get Amiibo working from there.

Amiibo funcionality will not work in fw >9.3/9.4. You can't made it work because NFC is not implemented in the system, so you will have the GUI in SSB4 but will not work.
