3DS: Gateway Ultra v3.5 Public Beta
The Gateway team, creators of the 3DS hack flashcart of the same name, just released a beta version of their latest software, Gateway Ultra 3.5.
The gateway flashcart allows 3DS owners to run backups (read: pirated games) on their console. It was the first flashcart on the market, and it is usually understood that most other flashcarts are clones of the Gateway3DS.
Gateway 3DS, new features
This new update brings support for cheat codes in games, and updated emunand support for the Old 3DS on firmware 10.3.
Cheat code support is of course the big new feature of this update. The Gateway team mention that their database of cheats is very small for the moment, but it will be possible for the community to provide new cheat codes. The format of the cheat codes is the same popular format as used on the NDS Action Replay.
From the Gateway team:
HOW TO USE CHEATS
=================1. Simply copy the folder “cheats” into the root of your microSD card that will go into the Gateway RED card.
Each file inside the cheats folder will be of the format <TitleID>.txt where TitleID is the title id of the game.2. Boot into Gateway mode, and press SELECT to make the Gateway game selection menu appear.
3. Select your game and then press Y to enter cheat mode.
4. Enable the cheats you want and then press START to load the game.
They provide more details in the announcement, but I thought it’d be worth mentioning one last thing, from the same blog post:
PS: We have noticed some serious and dangerous flaws in an unofficial Gateway emulation plugin,
and we strongly urge to cease using this plugin and only use GENUINE Gateway! You have been warned!
This kind of threat is typical in the flashcart world, especially from the Gateway team. It could be interpreted as the Gateway team going after people trying to emulate their work to avoid having to buy an overpriced dongle. Gateway3DS have intentionally bricked consoles of clone owners in the past. I’d advise people to keep that in mind before deciding if they want to give money to that particular group. But that’s just my personal opinion.

At this point it seems like gateway has stopped focusing on new 3ds support :/
I think it’s more the fact that they can’t. We need the 9.6+ encryption keys in order to support EmuNAND 9.6 and above, which haven’t been leaked yet.
The final paragraph about brick code is presumably aimed at the DSTwo+ which features a ‘Gateway emulation’ mode i.e. clones the Gateway.
been waiting for this update just dont get the cheat codes part. must be some sort of protection to prevent users from copy cards and might end up bricking 3ds.
Hacker,i you love only love!!
:():():():():():()
I have a hard copy for every 3DS game I have on my Gateway. I just want to play my way. Gateway seems just as evil as the company behind the handheld their cart is for IMO, but if it’s the only way to play fresh dumps of my games then, k.
I don’t have a current gen flashcart since the only game I need is Monster Hunter 4. That said, I had one for my DSi XL. I recall how nice it was to carry one cartridge in my system rather than settling on one game or carrying 20 little cartridges around.
Beware. This update breaks playing retail game cards in classic mode.
Also starting cias can cause a black screen (never happend on older GW launchers)
So I’m back on 3.4.1.
Wondering if there will be a Code Listing in the Forums. Also, what Codes are in the Release? Doesnt say what Games they are, just numbers and 2 have a Letter in them like
0004000000111B00.txt
0004000000062300.txt
As for the Bricking, it is for that DSTwo+ which doesnt even have N3DS support yet apparently. Not to mention, if when they do get N3DS Support, it would remove the MSET 4.5 Exploit.
They are the TitleID’s of the games
00040000000EC300 = Zelda A Link Between Worlds
0004000000111B00 = Yoshi’s New Island
0004000000035400 = LEGO Star Wars III
0004000000049000 = Star Fox 64 3D
0004000000062300 = Sonic Generations
From reports it looks like this update breaks CIA support.
True. Games like SSFIV get Black Screen after 3DS Logo, RetroArch get stuck after setting Screen Resolution on Initializing.
Way around it, is to Run a .3ds/3dz Game with the Red Card, when it is running, press Home, do not Close out Game but just Select a CIA Game or Homebrew.
Afterwards, everything seems to run perfectly. Can close out Games and select another CIA Game/Homebrew with any problems.
Except for apparently RetroArch. Some reason, it needs to be run the same way first, then the others will work no problem
lol, your icon is so fitting.
Gateway clones like MT-card are a thing of the past, the GW emulation module of the Supercard DSTWO+ is the new competition. Also ran is Sky3DS and clones, a differnt concept as they emulate retail cards, defeated with Ninty’s new AP measures. You can run .cias by first hitting select and choosing any 3ds file first. Running retail carts in classic mode is still broken though…
Update: v3.5.1 has been released, fixes all bugs and a teaser is shown for an in-game menu allowing cheats, ram analysis and editing, and more.
Sky3DS update coming soon. So you are wrong.
Hey guys I’m looking for a place to buy a New 3ds and r4card, any places you guys recommend?
