Version 2.0b1 (2013-12-01)
Official changelog
- GW 2.0b1 enables up to date compatibility, barring only the 2 known NAND based titles (for which support is coming very soon), as well as the long awaited emuNAND feature.
- New GUI menu system accessible by simply holding down the L button when tapping on the DS Profile button on the touchscreen.
- Booting into Gateway mode will now automatically check for the emuNAND partition and emulate the system NAND using this partition.
- We have also included an option to boot into Classic mode that enables genuine retail gamecards and the emuNAND functionality, allowing it to run like a regular 3DS on latest firmware.
Real changelog
- Added support for games using SDK5+
- Added a GUI menu displayed by holding L button down when booting Launcher.dat
- Added EmuNAND support.
- ROMs support with EmuNAND normal
- Retail cartridge support with EmuNAND Classic
- eShop support with EmuNAND normal and classic
- Supported EmuNAND System version: v4.1.0 to v6.3.0, NATIV_FIRM v7712 (4.1.0), v8758 (5.0.0), v9792(5.1.0), v10833 (6.0.0), v11872 (6.1.0).
Known bugs
- Region free and System version spoofing doesn't work on System menu 4.1.0 or EmuNAND 4.1.0.
- Console freeze when entering in Gateway mode.
- Console freeze when exiting a game, preventing the save to be backed up correctly to the SD Card, resulting in savegame loss.
- All changes done in EmuNAND Wifi Settings are also applied to SysNAND.
- Following issues are not bugs, but results of currently unpatched System version/NATIV_FIRM version.
- EmuNAND v7.x.x doesn't have region free and System version spoofing.
- EmuNAND v7.x.x can't launch new updated applications (eshop, System settings, etc.)
- EmuNAND v7.x.x uses mixed language settings in games (Japanese, Spanish, German, French, etc.) even if the game doesn't allow using one of these languages in your region.
All bugs listed above are fixed in Gateway 3DS v2.0b2.

Some savegames created with Gateway 3DS v1.2 WILL NOT WORK ANYMORE. Try your game with v2.0b1 first to see if your save is compatible with 2.x before updating FPGA firmware, because you can't downgrade to v1.2 after the update.

- 100% Game Compatibility (supports Card2 type with NAND saving)
- Multigame Support (FAT32 with split games and ExFAT)
- Game Card Dumper
- Gateway FPGA Update
