I don't know, I have not invested much time in that card... I have a gateway rotting around... with a 4.1 o3ds...
Meh, I'd rather give my money to EZF rather than GW so even if it doesn't work with A9LH I don't care too much.

Well I have bought it back in 2013/2014? when gateway was new... and the only other clones were mt card and k3ds (king 3ds). That was before the news of bricks and bricking code inside the launcher dat.

If you ask me (and that is only my personal opinion) I would not buy a "3ds" flash card anymore at all (sky, gateway, mt, and the thousand clone wars).
Only flashcard I would still buy for <5€, just for ease of use, is a simple r4i or a dstti in conjunction with the whitelist v1026 and TWL_Firm v1489 on an o3ds in ofw mode only.
And with luma you don't even need to tinker with the withelist at all anymore. I tried Robz8 TWLoader 2.4.2, but for any reason it would launch but than crash on a completely FRESH a9lh'd / luma'd n3ds. -> So back to card booting for nds stuff.
That is my honest opinion. Other than that, I can't see the cards being useful anymore...

Another thing I could maybe still see some minor interest in... is a cheaper alternative to a sky+... since the prices for those are unreasonable in any way. Thats probably the same thought of ninty and the reason behind why they still not block it.
Nobody or just a very small percentage owns it.
Again only my opinion.

Meh, sure, it has very limited use nowadays, if at all.
I own a few NDS flashcarts and would like to own a GW-like cart just because. I probably won't use it that much if I do get the EZR. I mean, I already have A9LH on my consoles, with Corbenik CFW.

Yes, exactly... that is why a perfectly fine gw is rotting right beside me... it holds rather limited use... I rarely boot it up to dump original cards. :(
For collection... yes any of those make a fine sample... but for actual playing or daily use... they are the most anoying and complex / clumsy thing.
GW Classic mode... gw whatever mode... just useless today. My opinion only.

Is there a homebrew to actually dump original cards for luma? I have never searched for a thing like that. Decrypt 9 maybe?

Never mind, just found that my guess was correct and Decrypt 9 can dump to rom enc / dec and to cia.

Ya, D9WIP can dump carts to 3DS or CIA.

Thank you for confirming it.... oh boy oh boy oh boy... now dumping of cards makes fun again!!! :)
Now I need to clone myself... for all the $vita$ stuff to dump and the 3ds cards.

BTW... saw in your signature a whitelist unblocker... that might come in handy.
And another thing (I know is off topic) have you already heard anything about clone memory cards for the vita?

About memory cards, nope, I don't know. Don't think so. It sucks, I paid 34ish eur for a 16GB card recently. As for Moon Whitelister, it's for the PSTV, and you should probably use AntiBlacklist by Rinnegatamante instead, as it is permanent (until a full database rebuild anyway), unlike my own.

Ok thank you for the info.
Yes I bought a 16GB card two years ago too, back when amazon tried to push the vita little, turned out that the swap for a 16GB was a bad trade... should have bought the 32GB back then.
Now I have a 32GB too but paid ~70€ for that bastard thing... THAT IS UNFORGIVING. I hope that the chinese hackers and reverse engineers now finally look into the vita memory card... because there is a demand now.

I'd love an SD adapter, even if it sticks out, especially for PSTV owners like myself where it won't bother anyone either way. I got my 64GB Samsung EVO for 20ish EUR and I'm happy with it, but PSV storage... it's very expensive.

Oh boy, psp times were LEGENDARY... the photofast cr5400 rocked everything... last time i used my psp with was with two 128GB sandisks to total up of ~250GB... that made browsing through all the stuff an absolute CHORE, but a nice one.
The $hit began with the psp go with its crappy m2 cards. Only the psp go and very few sony ericsson phones used that dirt. I still have a psp go but I don't dare to play on it anymore... afraid of breaking it and if the m2 starts to degrade and finally breaks... would mean the end of the psp go forever. :/

Oh please chinese clone makers... please make a ps vita memory card or an adapter, that would seriously be needed.

I got a couple MicroSD -> MS Pro Duo adapters myself some time ago, and a very cheap 32GB card. It's not much, but it's decent and the adapter was 1 eur or so sooooo yeah.

Yep, had a single micro sd adapter cr5300 too, but ran out of space to soon, than saw the dual adpaters and off I went. :)
Nowadays, use a cr5300 with a 128Gb or 200GB card and you're fine too.

A question... with the vita tv you have a usb port... can you install stuff on it? Or is it just for updating and charging the controller?

I just watched an Interview with Reggie on YouTube where he said they will support the 3DS for much longer. Then I begun to think, they surely must develop something to stop Luma/Flashcards. Do you refer specifically to the situation as it is right now, 11.2 with that statement or with regards to future firmwares as well?

Lol.

You better stop believing that they will support the 3DS much longer and that they will develop something to stop Luma/Flashcards altogether.

Neither is going to happen.

Nope, my statement goes for the time being, this exact situation as of right now... who knows what aces ninty pulls out of their sleeves... maybe they can pull of the same stunt as sony with their slim 3k and super slim 4k. But that is... do they even want that???
3ds sales are through the roof by now and partly not because the system is so unique but because easily extended in usage, games are being produced like crazy and sold in hardware as well as digital. I don't think there is a week in this year without a 3ds title release.

Controversy:

Look at the vita... it took 5 years for it to finally get anything usefull on it... by now the console is dead. There were many factors involved, one of those the memory cards and the forced digital only publishing for many titles.
My local shops stopped selling the vita 2 years ago, the library is (everytime I visit) the exact same games in the exact same order... memory cards are not available anymore and any third party equipment like pouches and display protectors have absolutely vanished. So there is little to no interest anymore. Even the vita reboot, the slim version and the TV thingy were taken out of sale. My local mediamarket had a ps tv sale last year, 29.99€ for each, only downside... they had ZERO memory cards in stock. I bought a couple of those but can't take em to use at all.
And now, since the vita has its "second wind" (no thanks to sony here) the memory cards are even more scarse and expensive.

All of this is my opinion only, but to lock something down when ALL the competition is so much more flexible and open... is a bad move, best example: Vita.

Sounds like the Wii U.

Since I migrated to a9lh I pretty much completely intermingled my legit purchases and my "demos" that I borrowed. Back when I was using Gateway, I had two devices, one for Gateway where I owned nothing, and one extra 3DS for everything I bought legit from the store or on carts. Now with a9lh, I mixed them together and use only one console. I don't know how many users are out there doing it that way, but if that's the majority, which I kind of want to believe, then Nintendo must want to find a way to only prevent pirated software from running, or at least using them online. Banning the console altogether wouldn't be a smart move, now that they really want to shine in their public communication and want people to buy the Switch. So that would be my argument that a flashcard is, indeed, not needed anymore.

There is someone on twitter is working on it,and made couple of pcb that act as memory card,but they stick out of the memory slot of the Vita,and sold them for devs and other hackers and for people who love collecting things.
