Well, it looks like I've gotten some good news from the guys offering the Gateway 3DS flash card for the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo 3DS XL. It's the very first flash card that actually runs and play 3DS roms, but with some catches. It works with 3DS systems that are running up to version 4.5 (so if you're running anything higher, you won't be able to use the card) and it's also enabling you to save your games to the same microSD Card that your games is currently on.
The gateway 3ds uses one microSD per game. So if you have say, Resident Evil, you'll need to use one micro SD for that game alone. You can of course remove the game and put a new one on, but for the time being, it doesn't offer any type of multi game support on one microSD, regardless of how big your microSD card may be.
I'm going to quote what the team has said below regarding compatibility and save games. If you've already placed a pre-order, I guess you can expect to get it pretty soon. If however you have not yet placed any order for it, they suggest that you do so quickly as the initial production run is a smaller one, so you may have to wait a month or more to get your hands on it from the second shipment.
And I quote the below, is it's straight from the mouths of the team who make this card:
You can always visit the Gateway 3DS homepage for more details on compatibility and to place a pre-order or order one for yourself.

And I quote the below, is it's straight from the mouths of the team who make this card:
1) Yes, we are exploit based (Yay !?) and therefore very dependent on console firmware version: Our current plan is to release for firmware version 4.5 while continuing work on a solution for 6.x + after release. (please see note below)
2)Gateway will be shipped with 2 cards, the red Gateway shown in our video, which will handle 3ds backups, and a blue ds cart which will be used to prepare the console. ( more demo videos showing save game compatibility as well as setup procedures to follow soon )
3) Your console can be safely updated to 4.5 by using an original title released after March 2013 till current. Please double check the update message (version) before proceeding !While the comment about being exploit based may throw some people off, it's important to remember that pretty much every single flash cart out there for the 3ds is also currently exploit based, so you have to do firmware updates - or not do firmware updates - depending on the kernel or menu system currently available for your card of choice.
Note:We currently have a very convenient and user friendly way to enter into our Gateway mode, while this entry point has been tested up to 6.0 we expect it to be shut off shortly after we release. We can not stress enough the importance of staying away from any further updates! ( 6.0 compatibility is only valid for our initial entry point, as stated in point (1) we currently only support firmware version 4.5 )
