With EmuNAND configured, go to the Gateway Menu and select “Gateway Mode”
Enter the System Settings and look for “GW3D” preceding your firmware version: !!! STOP HERE !!! DOES YOUR New 3DS SAY “GW3D” BEFORE THE VERSION NUMBER? IF NOT, START OVER. IF YOU KEEP GOING WITHOUT “GW3D” YOU WILL UPDATE YOUR SYSNAND AND BE LOCKED OUT OF GATEWAY!
DO NOT LEAVE THE SETTINGS MENU AT ANY POINT. Choose “Other Settings”
You will find the “System Update” option. Turn your WIFI on and select this option. Let it download and apply the update to your EmuNAND.
After your system reboots, it will place you back in SysNAND. Return to the Gateway Menu without holding L and it should automatically place you back into EmuNAND. Check the System Settings again to verify the update. Leaving settings will always place you in SysNAND.

A: Recommend Only if you setup Gateway 3ds emunand, you can put .cia files on new 3ds/new 3ds xl via this card. A bad write while in your SysNAND could result in a non-functioning New 3DS unit. And you need A .cia manager application. While Gateway 3DS supports .cia files, it does not natively contain a method to install/remove them. There is third party application by BigBlueBox Team called Title Manager that you can use to do this.
