'''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 It required its own custom firmware to function, generally relying on an out-of-date SysNAND (often on 4.x or 9.x) and an up-to-date EmuNAND.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 ''was'' notable for being the only software brick that requires a hardmod to fix, but '''recent developments have created a way to fix gateway bricks via ntrboot.''' For assistance with this fix, [[Get support|join the Nintendo Homebrew Discord]] and ask, in English, for help.<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]].
