best thing gateway could have done was release a SDK, and let other people take over. people would have been like huh, gateway is trying a bit. lets recommend them if you want .3ds file drop and play or cheats or what ever.

this move is just money grab.

fuck off Gateway. even RxTools > Gatewait

Well, the only selling point worth noting was the quick 3DS to DS mode flashcart switching, and I'm not entirely convinced that it wasn't sped up.

Is this unique, or is it the same method the DStwo uses to switch modes? I was under the impression that the DStwo needed to boot into the Gateway menu to switch modes.

But honestly, a new flashcart this late in the game? What a joke. This "sky" style switching may have been much more appealing in a pre-ntrboothax world, but now it's rather unremarkable.

Does it work without a cfw though? Like you lend it to a friend and begins to play after. Also the hands creeps me out.
Heresy!! Anyone who criticises Gateway Lady's hands will be put to death!

But seriously, nothing shown in the video is requires CFW. Both "Sky" 3DS game switching and DS flashcarts loading work on stock OFW.

that means you have to reflash it again to use DS cart ability again?
Probably. But what difference does that make? Unless you provide a b9s installation service, you're only going to need to flash it for ntrboothax once.

also, Alex Raider? Are they using Super card system?
Supercard don't have a monopoly on the DS Alex Rider exploit. Most flashcart companies used the same DS header at the same time.

No other solution can say this
Well actually... that's no longer true. @Nanquitas' ctrpf will soon put the final nail in Gateway's "exclusive feature" coffin.

He's posted a number of videos to his profile, userguide/feature overview here, and the latest beta is available here (built for Zelda, but works with any game when placed in the appropriate titleID folder). Code searching/creation is already implemented, loading cheats from txt is next on the agenda.

Clone actually, supercard used their Launcher, when Gateway updated their Launcher to brick DSTWO+ flashcard, supercard didn't tested it and got their users bricked.

And yeah Gateway are so godamn slow to update and even to steal stuff, even to update stolen stuff :rofl2:
If supercard has a way to use cfw that would be nice. Their card was basically a all in one. I never used the 3ds feature before it was announced that gateways loader could brick the 3ds, so I never got a chance to use the 3ds feature. I still have my supercard in my 3ds. Unless I'm wrong but at this moment supercard has the best working gba on the 3ds, tempgba.

If nothing else, the need to speed up the video at multiple points in time raised a few redflags for me.

The ability to select 3DS roms from the DS portion was kind of cool. Not $80 cool though

the NDS mode GUI doesn't look that nice, but I must admit the way to choose .3ds rom from the NDS mode is awesome.

If they could also add support for this card in the Gateway's launcher.dat it would be nice.

Can't believe they get rid of the game selection menu, which they bragged a lot about how their card was superior than sky3ds in the past. Yes, selecting game from DS mode is better than button only but it's still slower. At least users don't need to rely on their update whenever home menu get updated in the future. Nobody knows if ninty will suddenly drop something two years after 3ds's lifespan like what they did with DSi.

they only showed in OFW, they can't do that in OFW without modding the software.

For all we know, this is Gateway 2.0.

They can claim whatever they want since nobody actually knows who they are.

That's how they plan with getting away after screwing their customers real bad since 11.3.

If you buy from them you're supporting this behavior.

An interesting note, looking them up now reveals that they updated the contacted information. Unfortunately they were stupid enough to email everyone on the Gateway mailing list advertising for this cart, which of course blew their cover again.
The only person who claimed it wasn't the Gateway team was garyopa, who quite honestly is an extremely shady character. I honestly wouldn't be shocked if he actually works with the Gateway team or is getting some kind of profit from them.

So it seems really proved that Gateway is behind it. I'm sad.

And the way that this garyopa is saying that a new update is coming.. screw that, really. Why not tell the truth? No one will buy the old card anyway.

On the official(?) GW forum, I believe GaryOpa himself said that the SG team comprised (ex) Sky3DS members and GW's sales team or something to that effect. Having said that, he also said a lot of other things, some of which were conflicting so I always take them with a truckload of salt.

Just check a couple of pages back?

Why not tell the truth?
You know what, that is a good question and quite honestly I think we do deserve the truth
First Exclusive Video Preview Look at the StarGate 3DS Features:
So I have a few questions for you that have been bothering me.
First, why did you lie to the community and claim the Gateway team wasn't behind this cart? You even said,
A few weeks ago, we were contacted by long-time scene group about their new upcoming 3DS Flashcart
The longest standing groups that are still active would Gateway and Sky3DS, pretty limited number of groups to choose from here. But we were able to quickly find that the Gateway sales email was registered to this site and I am pretty sure you knew this, considering your previous comment said that you were in contact with them. Why did you lie? What possible reason is there to hide this from us? What would you have gained from such an obvious and easy to crack lie? Hell, they even blew their cover recently by emailing everyone on the Gateway email list, how do you explain that?
You also seem to be one of the few people getting information from the Gateway team, in fact several pieces of information have only been shared with you, but none of their emailed subscribers. Seems rather odd for them to keep in contact with only you if they are trying to spread their work to as many people possible.

It seems rather odd to me that you seem to have all of this information and that you are always covering for the Gateway team as well. You seem to always be talking to them and reassuring the public that there's some new update only a few days away. One would think the amount of times that hasn't come true you would start to crack a little, yet you still continue defend them. It's almost like you have something to gain by covering for them.
On the official(?) GW forum, I believe GaryOpa himself said that the SG team comprised (ex) Sky3DS members and GW's sales team or something to that effect. Having said that, he also said a lot of other things, some of which were conflicting so I always take them with a ttuckload of salt.

I don't trust him and quite honestly I feel like he has a lot to explain for.

What a waste of time. So it is a Sky3DS with a DS flashcart added in. If you have access to ntrboot you don't even NEED the Sky3DS features. You would have to have absolutely NO knowledge of the scene to be dumb enough to buy this.
I would buy that flashcard just for curiosity ...
Buut i don't have the money
