Latest system update 8.x
Posted on July 8, 2014
You may have noticed that system firmware 8.0.0 has recently been released.
We have analysed this update and we want to advise our users the following:
- Currently do not update emunand to this version as it will not boot. Old emunand versions (7.x or lower) will keep booting fine.
- If you did update emunand, do not worry. Our next firmware update will bring your updated emunand back to life.
- This update uses the same encryption as 7.x, only applied to more system processes which prevents emunand booting.
- We are still on track on getting our next firmware out, this update does not change much in our game plan.
Thank you for your patience once again and as always ENJOY.

STATUS UPDATE: 7.x
Posted on June 30, 2014
We have recently reached a major milestone regarding the 7.x encryption. We can say with certainty that we will soon be running 7.x games and 7.x applications (like eShop, PokeBank and YouTube) in our labs.
We can already say that this will be possible with the current gateway hardware and will be supported in the form of a regular firmware update.
Some people might think we’re overcautious with releasing new firmware updates and holding stuff back.
But we would like to reiterate once again that quality assurance and smooth product experience is on the top of our lists. We really take our time to test everything as much as we can.
There’s a bunch of other (interesting) developments going on besides the 7.x encryption fix at the moment; but we will brief you guys about them in a later (more lengthy) news update. Most questions we get at the moment are 7.x related, so this one will be released out as soon as possible.

Today we are very proud to present Gateway firmware 2.2 “OMEGA” which is packing quite a few of highly anticipated features!
So let’s take a look:
* Online support
That’s right, now you can play online with your friends!
As we hinted in our previous firmware release, the current “scene” dumps are missing critical data which is needed for online support.
Our game card dumper however does create proper dumps, and will allow you to play online.
To play online you will need a game dumped with our Game Card dumper and you must rename the file extension from .3DS to .3DZ in order to avoid accidental activation of online support.
As always, use online play at your own risk. Since online play is linked to a genuine Game Card, we do not recommend that multiple users go online with the same game dump simultaneously as it will most likely result in a future online ban.
We cannot help you if your 3ds console gets banned from online play.
* Homebrew support
It was about time this happened, so now you can develop and run homebrew games and applications just like the real deal!
In particular, we would like to thank smea for his contributions, otherwise none of this would be possible.
You can find a sample homebrew 3ds game in our downloads section, and we hope to see many more!
Note that the ctrulib homebrew library is not yet completely stable, as can be seen in the graphical artifacts and when closing the homebrew application.
* Savegame backup and restore
Some users have requested the ability to backup and restore savegames from retail cards, so here it is!
Simply launch the Gateway menu by holding L and you will see two new icons for savegame backup and restore.
The savegame will be stored on the regular 3DS SD card.
* Improved Game Card Dumper
We fixed a minor bug that caused some Game Cards not to be detected by our dumper. This should now work.
Available in our download section here
ENJOY!
