'''Gateway-3DS''' was the first flashcart for the 3DS, and one of the earliest ways to run 3DS games from a flashcart. It required its own custom firmware to function, generally relying on an out-of-date SysNAND (often on 4.x or 9.x) and an up-to-date EmuNAND. Most 3DS flashcart clones are based on this cartridge.<br>

Gateway-3DS came with two flashcarts, one blue and one red. The blue one was just a traditional DS flashcart that was occasionally required to install an exploit to run custom firmware, while the red one was the 3DS-mode flashcart.<br>

The cartridge/custom firmware is notorious for its implementation of a clone flashcart detector which could trigger at random for genuine flashcarts, and when triggered, would cause a software brick in the 3DS. This ~~brick is~~ notable for being the only ~~one ntrboot cannot~~ fix, ~~and at the time~~ a ~~hardware mod and a Raspberry Pi/Arduino were required~~ to fix it. ~~As of now~~, ~~you only need a hardware mod and a NAND backup - the instructions for such a hardmod are linked [~~[~~3dsguide~~:~~installing-boot9strap-(hardmod)|on our custom firmware installation guide~~.]]<br>

Gateway's custom firmware no longer works properly on the latest firmware and is generally not compatible with boot9strap-based setups. If you have such a setup, you should [[3DS:Migrate from Gateway|migrate away from it]].
