TWL doesn't work in Gateway Mode

Best explanation of the damn day!!!

Best explanation of the damn day!!!

I'll quote myself from past replies:

Spoiler

I believe the problem with TWL was not because they were using the DS Profile exploit, but rather because TWL had to reset the whole console, and if it resets the whole console, it disabled emuNAND.
The problem with that is that, in emuNAND, you have the custom program to launch the DS game, and also the DS game as well.
As soon as you reset the console, and Gateway mode is dis-engaged and no longer tells the NAND to redirect to the SD card, you can no longer boot into anything that was on the SD card, because you just disabled access to the SD card via emuNAND, which you used to boot the DS game.
You can already try this, open up emuNAND and load a DS cartridge. It won't work.

Yes, but if you are in sysNAND, you can't load any custom TWL firmware that is located on emuNAND, which rules out the possibility of a custom .CIA that loads .NDS ROMs unless someone builds a new TWL that does not reboot

TWL hard resets the console and dis-engages any loaded exploit, which in turn stops the connection to the SD card where the firmware expected to find the TWL_FIRM in the emuNAND partition, and also it can't locate the ROM
if they had a custom simulator which doesn't reboot, it should work

all it needs i think is a custom simulator to replace TWL, and we can then even play DS games

Take your propeller hat off for a minute and just say " I hope they fix the bug that prevents us from running DS flashcarts in emunand".

I don't think they work in classic mode either.

Read your quotes, it does make sense. But I'll wait to see what the surprise is, I have a feeling someone is bound to pop up another thread asking about the new feature aka easter egg.

Its not a bug, its the way the sysnand firmware works. I understand when we made emunand that it was suppose to emulate the sysnand 100%, but there are limitations to emulating that need to be overcome by going another route and if that route is to just boot DS mode from GW Menu than it's fine by me. It shows that they made attempts at trying to get it to work in emunand and had no choice but to go another route. Thats my say on if the new feature is DS mode support.

It's not a bug, it's how it works.

Or better yet. "Undocumented Feature"

will be cool if you can install CIA online patches in classic mode....for people that have other regions 3ds....in example, I have a japanese 3ds, and i would like to play MH4U in an original cartridge, but is not worth, because if in any point theres a cia online patch, i cant play online anymore with that cart, because classic mode dont support that

you could install the game update in sysnand
but, classic mode uses emuNAND, so you could install the patch in emunand as well

The save goes on your SD card anyway I'm pretty sure, so there would literally be no point to playing it from the original cartridge. Just dump the cart and make it into 3dz or cia and install, then you can install the patches even if one comes out and continue to play online. The save will be in Gateway crypto anyway, so any real carts you use will not work in another system that doesn't use Gateway.

yeah, im planing to just do a 3dz from my original cart, i think is a safer way, for all the recently bans from nintendo :/

None of the bans have been confirmed yet, mostly just Nintendo service errors that have resolved themselves.

Can you tell us how long is your "Won't be long now (for n3ds support)"?

Soon™ ?

 

[MrJason005]

what's the hidden feature

 

[Fatalanus]

SonyUSA, I hope you are happy with this. xD
I got a question too: Do you know something about the possibility of playing DS games? This is something interesting, I think.

I don't think she was refering to n3ds support, i think she was talking about the surprise feature. New3ds support probably won't come for at least 2 weeks

Wait, so any real carts you use in Gateway's Classic mode won't work on any other console? Never heard that one before.

And isn't the retail cart update only limited to games from out of your region? Within your region and with the lastest firmware on emunand, you should be set to go with getting the newest online patch straight from the eshop for your cart. At least I think that's how it works.

And couldn't that all change once Cearp's region changing patch comes out?

lol, more like Feb 13th or we riot
