I would update your emunand to GW3D 8.x right now (while the option is still available). Just consider it insurance for the day you'll want to play a newer game, that needs the newer firmware.
No. You need an older 3ds with firmware between 4.1 >>> 4.5 to run gateway.
If you have an older 3ds on one of those firmwares, you can fun gateway and have it spoof newer firmwares (so you can play newer games).
Not possible. From everything I've read, any backed up system nand/emunand is tied to the specific DS system it was pulled off of.
That's why it's so important to back up your nand. If you're system firmware ever gets updated by accident (or your SD card carrying your emunand becomes corrupt)...
I'm also running 4.1.0 with a Gateway, and haven't had any problems so far.
I was thinking of upgrading with retail carts to 4.3, and then to 4.5 just so I could backup my system nands for those two firmwares also (already have my 4.1 NAND.bin saved). I really don't need them, but figure it...
- Updated Omega 2.2 >>> 2.3b
- updated emunand from stock 4.x >>> 8.1.0-19u
- backed up another copy of my system nand (just to be safe)
- and everything seems to be running perfect :toot:
Lots of good information here. I'm just about to embark on a journey to find an SW11, SW12 unit myself. Hopefully I'll be able to find some old units somewhere near me.
Success!
Got it working on the R4DS (v1.18)
Used patch from post #211 on US version, then loaded up the smaller file (83.89mb) onto the R4.
Copied over my saved game I created, right before I got to the transport station.
Started game and got past the transport freeze without a problem...
Only thing drive me crazy is all these new horror games nowadays is its so dark, all time. I can't even play them. I understand they trying to create spooky but be creative a little, not just darkness with pop out scare scenes.
