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 a GUI menu displayed by holding L button down when booting Launcher.dat
  • Added EmuNAND support.
  • ROMs support with EmuNAND normal

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 can't launch new updated applications (eshop, System settings, etc.)

ATTENTION: This version updates your internal Flashcart's FPGA firmware. You can't use any previous version of Launcher.dat anymore.

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.

Version 2.1.1 OMEGA (Beta) (2014-04-01)

ATTENTION: Same recommendations as previous Gateway 3DS version 2.1.


Official changelog

  • No changelog provided on Gateway 3DS website.


Real changelog

  • (Failed) attempt to fix FPGA update error #00000019.


Known bugs

  • Same as 2.1 Omega


Features

  • Same as 2.1 Omega.

   

Version 2.2 OMEGA (2014-05-09)

ATTENTION: Same recommendations as Gateway 3DS version 2.1.


Official changelog

  • Online support
  • Homebrew support
  • Savegame backup and restore
  • Improved Game Card Dumper


Real changelog

  • Added online support for ROMs with file extension .3dz
  • Added support for Homebrew in .3ds format.
  • Added a Retail Cartridge backup/restore savegame feature.
  • Improved Game Card Dumper cartridge detection.


Notes

  • When using .3ds extension, all savegames can be shared with other users. When using .3dz extension, the savegame depends on the cartridge's Unique ID string in the ROM header.
  • One Unique ID can be used in another ROM, allowing savegame sharing by sharing the ID string at the same time.
  • ROMs require the Unique ID at 0x1200 and Chip ID at 0x1240 to support online. (Gateway ROM dumper automatically adds the Unique ID and the Chip ID at 0x1200 and 0x1240 in the dumped ROM)
  • It's recommended to dump your own Cartridge's ROM to go online or you will share the same Unique ID with other users and we don't know the consequences yet (Console ban, Unique ID Ban, etc.)
