Credits go to Yifan Lu, felipejfc, hartie95, rednaxelannamtra and Roxas75 for their astounding development in the 3DS scene. Free Multi Patcher is developed from multiple projects and research. This brilliant piece of software allows you access the eShop on FW9.0 – 9.2. Whats more exciting, is you can launch this application with Gateway, RX Tools and Pasta CFW. This is eShop access on FW9.0-9.2 sysNAND and emuNAND!!!! Let me repeat, eShop access on FW9.0-9.2 sysNAND and emuNAND!!!!
Features (Current Version: 0.5):
- Homemenu patching for regionfree
- Nim patching for e-Shop Access(possibly only working on 9.x)
- Nim patching to prevent automatic download of system updates
- Menu with selection of patches
Planned Feature:
- dlp Patching for regionfree download play
- serial patching for e-shop access on systems with changed serial
- a new icon and banner
SebasTorron and I were able to test this on sysNAND and emuNAND FW9.0-9.2 on the New 3DS. We used the Gateway and Pasta CFW methods and had great success. Keep in mind, you can always delete this application if for whatever reason you don’t want it anymore by going to
System Settings > Data Management > Nintendo 3DS > Software > Free Multi Patcher
GATEWAY METHOD
While in the Gateway menu with the boot icons visible, simply hold B while booting into Gateway mode or Classic mode! You will then be asked to confirm booting into sysNAND mode by pressing X. Now install FreemultiPatcher.cia with your favorite choice of cia installer, using the Multi Rom Menu. I recommend using BigBlueMenu, if your not sure which one to use. Simply launch Free Multi Launcher and use the selected options, press start to begin the process. The app will close and the eShop spoofing is now ready 🙂
PASTA CFW METHOD
Simply launch Pasta CFW and install FreemultiPatcher.cia with your favorite choice of cia installer. SebasTorron recommends using FBI cia installer, if your not sure which one to use. Simply launch Free Multi Launcher and use the selected options, press start to begin the process. The app will close and the eShop spoofing is now ready. 🙂

I would recommend getting all the games, DLC and apps you need. You can even access the theme shop, using these methods to theme that sysNAND! You can get Free Multi Patcher here, Big Blue Menu here and FBI here.

Kinda almost two months late on this, but not surprised since most people don’t know about this due to its generic name. Nice to have the tutorial up though.
It was meant for a rainy day, I know once stuff like this becomes more public, the big N takes action. This meant for users who don’t want to lose gateway function but want YouTube. it never hurts to see if tubehax could be ported for FW9.0-9.2
Thanks this was probably useful for me, I fell way out of the loop before the Ironfall announcement, and I managed to install it to my emunand. But now youtube is on my 9.0.0.20 gateway sysnand which is probably better than on emunand I would guess.
Check your download list in the eshop, i can still redownload ironfall. Quickly before the window closes, that way you will have ironfall on sysNAND
Free Multi Patcher comes from felipejfc’s Ygw eshop spoofer which comes from my “[How-to] Spoof firmware (to access eShop and more) on New 3DS and Old 3DS” which comes from Yifan Lu’s Service Patcher.
Big mess here.
