It's not about pressing "ignore". Relentlessly and viciously attacking devs hurts the scene.
Don't bite the hand that feeds you...
Right. Tell us all how mature you had been in that thread. The reason it got locked was because of people like you. Making a fuss over something without taking into the account of the full context. Everytime I see people like you making such responses, once in a while I will reply back with the other side of the story. Because you're just distorting things the way you feel is better in your opinion. Now before this gets derailed even further by the likes of you....

The EVO3DS supposedly has an MCU (micro controller unit). Now based on
b00100100 posts, one way to update the FGPA would be to send usb signals to the MCU which then updates the FGPA. The MT-card supposedly has a "CPU" which is most likely a MCU as well. Unfortunately since there hasn't been any clearer photos available of the MT-card, we are not able to determine which chip could possibly be the MCU. We however determined that the Actel chip does not contain a cortex-m1 cpu hence the "cpu" being referred to by MT must refer to something else and is likely a MCU. Now on the
http://gbatemp.net/threads/speculation-current-state-of-affairs-for-3ds-flash-cards.363645/ The last couple of posts were making some headway into the construct of the current flash cards as the construct can provide some ideas as to the thoughts that were present during the development. However, it went severely off-topic due to certain trolls kicking up a dust storm. Anyhow... enough of that.
Consider this
rumour/speculation by the chinese leaker
"GW actually was able to exploit 6.1 and run some game roms that were previously unplayable but however this required tge aid of an onboard CPU. However, the 1st generation GW card does not have a CPU, hence GW are trying to get rid of their 2 batchs of stock before these new features will land on flash cards with CPU (this not only applies to MT-Card but also the future GW card)."
The new evo3ds card claims to have a MCU, mt-card most likely have a MCU as well for FGPA updates. Now the real question is, what features require the use of the MCU because technically if the FGPA was preprogrammed with all the features already packed in, it might be redundant to include an MCU if no features require this MCU. If so, from a financial standpoint, it makes more sense to throw out a new card with new updates every now and then so they can get more sales.
Does anyone with any knowledge of circuit board electronics care to chime in on the other uses of a MCU? Also, if the MCU is sufficient to keep the card up-datable? I'm sure everyone on this forum is thinking, "will this card be updatable? will Evo3ds do a gateway and split with our money?". Understanding the physical aspect of this new card could help users here to make an informed purchase in the future.
