Hacking Well this is depressing

Gateway can play eshop games as .3ds files

Yea I know, that doesn't answer my third question(s) though. I'm gonna go ahead and assume It *does* allow check-in and it *does* require an NNID (unlike any other game?)

I never played the game before. How long do I need to play into it to check that stuff for you

Holy hell reply overload

Anyways, I already have OoT 3D. Or rather I have a friend who said he'll give it to me.

For the OoT 3D method do I need anything else?

Also, for space for games I want to get a 128 GB SD card. Both Gateway and my 3DS will support this right? I heard read speed matters a lot, what brand should I get?

You need either a save dongle or a couple minutes with a normal 3ds/normal 3ds xl that can run the gateway menu.

Well it asks for the NNID when you get it from the eShop so I don't really know at what point the game will say 'nup, need your NNID before we keep going here' but I assume you actually /have/ a NNID on your emunand so it would probarbly just default to using that. Where I was going with it was that I was wondering if they had put checks in place to prevent running it on a system without an associated NNID. I assume they have. I'll sauce it myself and playaround. Thanks for the heads up that it exists.

Will I need a save dongle for Cube Ninja?

So why is everyone freaking the fuck out that emunand was blocked? You can play online without updating and any eshop item can be installed through cia.

Confusing me now...

A couple of things are going on here. 9.6 is more than your typical "system stability" update. It fixes the holes in the cryptography introduced in 9.5 (remember when GW was unsure about 9.5 emunand period?). So they somehow need to obtain the keys for it and that is not easy. This could potentially be a very long wait or even game over. This is not really going to be a problem for GW users until games are released that require >9.5 and that will likely be at least six months or longer before those start to appear.

Worst case botome line is leave sysnand and emunand where they are and you have access to the entire back catalog but might have to purchase new games. Maybe a sky to supplement if the new roms can be dumped.

You only need the save dongle or access to a old 3ds/old 3ds xl that is gateway compatible only one time (ask your friend for his firmware version on his 3ds)

The past three days from what people told me and what I read online everyone recommended buying a New 3DS on the proper firmware and getting gateway and all the things necessary for it instead of getting a Sky3DS, how Gateway was future proof while Sky3DS can easily be patched.

Then I spent HOURS searching for stores nearby me and having them check the batch number to make sure I can get one that's under 9.2

And now that I literally bought my N3DSXL 15 minutes ago, it turns out that Gateway has been screwed over in the 2 hours it took for me to go out and come back home

Should I just return it and try to get an original 3DSXL and hope that it's <9.2 or just get a Sky3DS?

This shit doesn't make any sense, wtf are you saying? How does GW not work for you, or how did GW get screwed over in 2hrs?

Hes a new gateway user and he thought gateway got blocked. Only eshop and maybe system transfer are blocked right now which has happened in the past as well.

His version is 9.5

Can I use a DS Lite?

no. It must be a 3ds or 3ds xl that is 9.2 or under so you can prepare the cartridge.

Not necessarily.

That idea is pretty ingenious if you have no other way to prepare your OoT cart

OP, you must be new here.

You "only" need a NNID to check in, the eShop requiring one is because it's free to download...
And I just downloaded 1.1.5 ingame on 9.5-23

 

[tony_2018]

I'm still on emunand 9.2 running GW 3.0 launcher file....I ain't messin with no firmware update until a game I'm getting ready to play requires it.

So far, Sky3DS has proven itself to be future-proof. Buying one Wednesday.

Only because Nintendo has been targetting Gateway and leaving Sky3DS alone. Sky3DS is not future-proof. Mark my words ...
