<a name="faq_gatewaysky" />**Q:** *I heard about this thing I have to pay for (Gateway, Sky3DS, etc), is that something I need?*

|
|
<a name="faq_homebrew" />**Q:** *Can I run awesome homebrew and emulators with this?*
|
|
**A:** Yes! Custom Firmware not only enables the Homebrew Launcher, but it also will give you hacks on all versions, which means you keep it forever, even with updates.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
<a name="faq_regionfree" />**Q:** *Can I use this to play games from other regions?*

|
**A:** Luma3DS supports Region Free patches, which enables users to install games from any region without any extra modification or steps.

|
<a name="faq_ge128gbsd" />**Q:** *Can I use a 128 GB (or larger) SD card?*

|
|
<a name="faq_systransfer" />**Q:** *What about System Transfers?*
|
|
**A:** Once you have completed the guide, you can system transfer to and from an B9S 3DS or 2DS exactly like you would a regular stock console or EmuNAND (you will lose any non-legitimate games/themes/DLC in the transfer; saves will stay even for games that are lost).
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
<a name="faq_nopc" />**Q:** *Can I do this without a computer (e.g. an Android phone)?*
|
