Hopefully when Gateway release a fix for this they can include a fix to allow Pokemon Moon + Sun to work from Cartridge also

 

Seems like they fixed it more than last update that just changed the menu offsets and broke the select button game selection. It black screens so maybe a bit more involved. I think it's because Gateways uses a old native_firm

Hopefully they push out a update soon, they have a great track record of updates wish they didnt focus in the wack fastboot method at all and just focused on improvements of the firmware like playing Virtual Console titles/DS Flash cards/DS games if it wasn't for that I'd use Gateway 100% over Luma

 

Same problem here. I have to put down my 3ds until they release a patch.

For everyone reading this:
DON'T UPDATE SYSTEM!

 

Well i just hope i have read this warning before updating my Gateway.. RIP. Now basicly im screw right...

 

Until gateways next update

 

Just a warning but I hear if you have al9h with Luma with everything workine fine on 11.3 on Sysnand, DONT try to run the Gateway payload to use it!! Apparently it restores the firm1/0 and you lose Al9h and are on stock 11.3 because Gateway does not protect against these things amoung other things

I really liked my Gateway since it way faster to manage games and I don't want them all on my 3DS internal SD. And install all the CIAs..

But if Gateway doesn't mention something about updating firm protections I'm going to move on. Thats why they want a emunand still and I'm not gonna hold up 2GB on my internal SD and lower battery life just because Gateway can't make Protections like Luma

 

Yes I feel same as you. If it continues like this, I will move to Luma.
Else gateway team could at least warn their users on their official website that they are aware about the issue and that they are working on a solution. But nothing is mentioned yet. We need to go on this website to get news. Not so pro.

 

I am hoping the next update from Gateway allows users to play Pokemon Sun & Moon from there original cartridges also. Sky3ds are releasing an update in 5 days which apparently allows this.

 

Well not even a update in the news section with a warning about how your stuck at a black screen now if updated... And how Nintendo blocked using a lower than 11.3 native_firm(That gateway uses)...why not say easy fix guys we getting 11.3 native_firm ASAP don't update! Or is it not so easy??

I'm slowly moving over my .3ds games to CIA and gonna use Luma all the time now. Way too risky with constantly need updates and not enough communication and no protection against what Nintendo patches.

Everyone take the 1-2 hours and get al9h with Luma and use your 3DS like a normal user without worrying about some company that main interest is money gonna update this week or not and crashing for 3DS to start gateway with your browser,3dsx, or whatever( Having the 3DS boot up twice drive me crazy and then I might not even boot 1st try!)

(Don't use Gateway on 11.3 they don't protect anything and will delete al9h, until update soon™)!!!!

To use gateway with Luma/ instant boot %100 of the time - Putting 2 files in a folder

https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-using-luma3ds-with-gateway-on-v2-a9lh.431691/

 

I use a custom 2 stage a9lh that can boot GW instantly, 100%, WITHOUT LUMA. And with Luma. With Luma though, for me it's more like bootanim9->Luma->chainload GW.

At any rate, There are only 2 reasons to use GW anymore: .3ds images instead of installing .cia(s), and the cheat menu (which I LOVE). Luma even does region-free better than GW now.

 

i dont understand why so many users are updating the console, it has always been told never update, gateway is limited to 9.2...... the 3ds is now @ 11.3 and peeps are still updating..... wtf.

alot from what im hearing are updating their emunand to the official nintendo 11.3 firmware, again how these peeps forgot the procedure of updating gateways emunand is another wtf.....

if its emunand you have updated, simply backup any data you need such as saves, format your sd card, your console will now boot at sysnand (hoping you havent updated this) and then boot into gateway menu and then follow the normal steps to format emunand.

this will put you back to 11.2 emunand which was the last emunand gateway released.

and all make note, when the console is on its main menu or playing or closing a game and it gives you an update pop up...... NEVER UPDATE..... THESE ARE OFFICIAL UPDATES OFF NINTENDO AND WILL BLOCK GATEWAY!

 

@DW360

Just... No. Doing what you just said will put people at 9.2, not 11.2. Easy to update via sysupdater or FBI if you know where to get the files, but still... not only will you be at 9.2 but your NANDs will be LINKED. More trouble than it's worth.

The real answer is to always wait, and if you just can't wait, backup your flippin' emunand before you try upgrading! That way when you see that the new update breaks something, you can revert back to your older emunand using emunandtool in just a couple of minutes.

BUT... if you're an a9lh user, this update complicates things even more than that. It seems trying to even boot fw 11.3 in Gateway mode corrupts firm0/firm1, BREAKING a9lh and reverting your emunand back will not fix that. Given Gateway's track record, I have a feeling that a fix is going to take a long while this time

edit: and by the way... with a9lh, Gateway is not limited to 9.2. You just can't use (entirely) Gateway's own official files to do it. There are ways to both chainload it via ctrbootmanager/Luma/bootanim9 and to simply launch it from the home menu while in Luma.

 

i was stating a very simple way for n00bs, removing emunand and getting back to your default firmware, you can then reconfigure the console how it was before you updated by repeating your steps (without doing the 11.3 update).

So this will put you back to 9.2 (or what ever your default sysnand was) and from there you go to 11.2 so it is correct, however you go about doing emunand is upto the user, but gateways method is very simple, format emunand using the gateway menu.

 

Little update on there site
http://www.gateway-3ds.com/1302-11-3-emunand/

"As indicated before, we are working really hard to release as soon as possible our new major update that will once again revolutionize the (N)3DS scene."

I love how they hint at they have the "sighax" method that is better than al9h/fastboot. I much rather have a update about firm 0/1 and native_firm being protected and updated. They don't manage that and still require a emunand which is a huge pain and step back from protecting your sysnand like Luma does. Don't think there ahead of the curve of Luma developers.

I've personally started to move on to Luma %100, Freeshop and installing all my .3ds to CIA. And even with 60-70 games not taking to long. Also I can use VC titles no weird installing, and my R4 Ds flash card/ds games)

Will miss the cheats/ and tossing a game on the SD and playing but not trying to unhack/brick my 11.3 al9h Luma 3ds just because I'm too lazy to manage my games. Really enjoyed having both but like I said I'm not making a 2gb emunand that's hidden weirdly on my SD and killing my battery

 

Gateway does NOT *require* an Emunand.

 

It does if you don't want to lose al9h by running to payload on 11.3 Luma Sysnand
