AT: Which is better, Sky3DS, Gateway 3DS or custom firmware?
ABOUT: The functionality is definitely better than a custom or Gateway, but to use the first, the second, you need to make some effort (see under the appropriate spoilers). Sky is easier to use but worse in features.
AT: What comes with the cartridge?
ABOUT: USB cable and, sometimes, a card reader. For the cartridge to work, you need to buy MicroSD separately, the optimal size is 16-32GB. 64 and 128GB is meaningless to take, flipping through 30 games is very long and inconvenient.
AT: How to distinguish the version of the cartridge except the color of the button, I am afraid that I could slip the first version instead of the second?
ABOUT: The most recent version has two buttons and a microUSB port.
AT: How many games can I record on microSD?
ABOUT: I am not aware of any restrictions.
AT: What will happen if you press the button on the cartridge during the game?
ABOUT: The cartridge will switch the game to the next, for the console it will look like a cartridge pulled out of the slot. In the results, you will get the error "Game Card was Removed" and you may get a damaged save game of the game itself, it is not recommended to do this.
AT: The game requires a firmware update before launch. Can this be done from the rum launched on Sky3DS?
ABOUT: Yes you can. But keep in mind that when upgrading through a cartridge (both through the original one and via Sky), in some cases the process of customizing the firmware will not be simplified, more details here -
https://3ds.customfw.xyz/cart-update AT: A new game has been released, it is not in the template.txt game database, can I add a record about the game manually?

ABOUT: Yes you can. You can read about updates in the corresponding section.
AT: Is it possible to run for example Fire Emblem IF (Jap) on Sky3DS +?
ABOUT: Yes, Sky now supports all new games that have a new security system. In addition, you may need access to Homebrew to run games not in your region. For each version of the system software its own method. Soundhax is recommended for firmware from 9.0.0 to 11.3.0 (

http://filetrip.net/dl?w2mDHEwZqH) Run as administrator and right-click on the game that interests you. In the window that appears, select "backup save2". This will convert the save to the required format for Sky3DS +. Copy the new save to the root of the flash drive. Saves should have the same name as rum.
AT: How to play the game is not my region?
ABOUT: All games in other regions can only be launched via homebrew launcher (HBL). The Region-Free Launcher program can be found in StarterKit. Will work only on Sky3DS +
AT: How to install private header on Sky3DS +?
ABOUT: Open a notepad file settings.txt, which will appear at the root of the stick after the first run of the cartridge. Add the line "CREATE_PER_GAME_SETTINGS = 1" and save the file, now when you turn on your 3DS sky create an individual file [* .cfg] for each game, insert the USB flash drive into the computer and find the appropriate for your game [***. Cfg] file open it and change the value "GAMESAVE_KEY" your private Heder (Unique_ID), save and insert the cartridge in 3DS. Now you can enjoy the online game without getting banned.
In order for all configs to appear, you may need to scroll through all the games with the button, so that each sky will be processed.
P.S. if you bought the header from your hands or got it yourself from the game you bought, then most likely you received a file with the extension [.bin] at the output
To get out your header, which is a 32-digit code, use the HxD utility (download here

AT: How do I record Monster Hunter 4 or Xenoblades games on my microSD? Due to the fact that the MicroSD file system must be FAT32, I can not record games of such large size.
ABOUT: For such large rums (4GB), you can use a special rum trimming utility, for example 3dsexplorer (
http://filetrip.net/dl?1ZmcYyBYmK) . Run the utility, select the desired file (File-->open) and further CCI-->trim CCI. But remember that the program will replace your rum on the trimmed, if you want to keep the original, make backup.
