Gateway 3DS: PUBLIC RELEASE OF Gateway 3DS V1.1a

[Devin]

Oi, I thought out-of-region banners were broken -- was that problem fixed or is it just some games?

I've noticed that it's only European games that don't show banners on my US 3DS.

I hope Pokemon X & Y will work with firmware spoofing

don't get your hopes up

don't get your hopes up

Welp, going back to being negative it seems. Dammit

I hope that 6.2.0-12U is supported, soon. Then, I'll buy it right away.
EDIT: Aw...

Since the product is now released and soon in Nintendo's hands, anything above 6.2.0 will most likely never be compatible.

So maybe?

OOOOOH, It's possible anyway, I hope not.

 

[Apache Thunder]

Damn it. Really wished I still had my 3DS. Though I don't if I ever updated it past 4.5. It's been more then a year since I sold it.

1) The lack of upper screen banner for some titles which trigger both region and firmware spoof requirements.

Can somebody explain (and maybe show) about that banner? I don't understand what that means.

There's a banner (image) that shows what game it is. This is shown on the top screen, and is just fancy graphics. It in no way affects gameplay.

*Waits for NDS to get and ship stock* Bah. *shakefist at everyone*

I can tell you right now it will have v6 on it and so will smash bros, zelda and any BIG game from now on. You don't need a crystal ball to see what NDO will do

2) Some expected issues related to language fonts

Is that only a problem in the home screen?

I hope they pull off something miraculous, only time will tell I guess

 

[Bladexdsl]

NDO = Nintendo

May I ask why you used your own website as a source instead of Gateway's website? http://www.gateway-3ds.com/

... because we got it via email and posted on our site.

Gateway team earned my respect (I think). I as well as numerous others thought Gateway is just a warez card that emulates games 1:1 without any sort of hacks bypassing the region lock and stuff. But now there is a possibility of homebrew support at some point in the future.

Spoiler

The update is written in proper english. The only flashcart team I know that wrote in proper english was Cyclo DS. Could it be...?

 

[Cyan]

There have been some unique reports of issues related to title exit or first GW3DS entry after
installing the update. We believe these are either related to file fragmentation of the 3DS SD card or
some users trimming the titles to fit on the red card's micro SD.

How can the file system on the SD card become fragmented when only one file is written with an image tool to the device starting from Sector 0?
There's no file system, no fragmentation, unless the Win32 image tool doesn't write the next chunk of file to the next sector.


edit:
they talked about the "big SD card" inside the 3DS, not the SD in "3DS mode" card.

3DS SD card = FAT32 where .sav files are put

oh, my bad. I though they talked about the 3DS card (between their two flashcards: DS and 3DS mode)

May I suggest next time to just use the Gateway website as a source? I could easily say "Hey, cancer is cured! Click this link to find out more! www.pedeadstrian.com"
