You and a few others have been unfortunate casualties throughout this bricking fiasco... I'd be pissed too
I hope they fix your console and you're able to enjoy 2.0 soon Retrofan_k.
I hope so too and then my faith will be restored with them. However, just emailed GW this morning for any updates, as its been just over 3 weeks since I shipped it to them. Still waiting to hear, yet not sure how long it would take for them to collect from the forwarder address I sent it to.
I do yeah, but for some reason it only tracked up to the 4th Feb where it was due to be exported to China from the UK. Been no further tracking since.
First time I've shipped to there. How long was Chinese New Year for? I guessed that may have delayed it too
2 Weeks give or take, beats the crap outta our new years... 1 day off then straight back to work in the miserable weather... Hate it. I skipped New Years this year.
Ideally some of the GBATemp reports of Gateway-induced bricking get clarified and resolved.
People deserve to know the truth if Gateway bricks 3DSes or it is just the clones that do.
Given that people are buying 3rd party software/hardware and know that it's in some fashion illegal then the user is already taking risks. Granted even some informed people have taken the risk and been bitten, saying that people 'deserve to know the truth'... In this market they should be seeking it for themselves before participating in piracy etc.
What truth? You psychic, read minds, see in the future? and also that statement is a user made one, as far i'm concerned to add further fuel to the fire. Nothing has been clarified or resolved and is just hear say
However, If I had a time machine i'd go back to the exact moment when I opened the GW card the morning I got it and film the whole 35 min process when it bricked my 3DS, then post a link, so every fool can see it, yet unfortunately that ain't gonna happen.
Basically that statement and you're comment is a slap in the face, which indicates I'm a liar and to other legit users who got bricked. But seriously, I couldn't give a rats ass anymore to what people think. I know what happened and will stay like that, if people wanna be sheep and believe everything they hear then do so.
For reference a parcel send from Shanghai to Harbin the southernmost to the northernmost by a economy express it only take me 5days
But if the parcel arrived here during 31th Jan to 6th Feb the Spring festival holiday it must be delayed
hmmm seeing as i have a raspberry pi to restore if i brick i may record me repeatedly starting up gateway mode on b2 for an hour or so, see if we can finally catch the elusive brick proof on film XD,
i know its all random and it may still not get me, but if i do it would finally be undeniably proven
Thou Dost Protest too much ?
No one knows the truth.
I don't find the reports here to be entirely legit. Nor do I trust Gateway.
I think the truth will eventually come out. Feel free to rub it in my face in the future if you want.
I still don't recall reading about someone that actually had sent their 3DS to Gateway and confirmed they got it back fixed for free, because gayeway has bricked it in the first place. That would certainly end some of the discussions..also i think if there is actual proof, i see it as a sign that they can be trusted.
I really would like to know if there is actually someone that had the balls to do it..anyone?
Maybe i missed it though...i don't check every forum that posts about gateway stuff.

I have yet to receive an official response to my 3DS but the latest one is here:-
"we are handling the consoles now, we get back to you soon".
But if that email is true, which is posted here and not fake, then its a bunch of lies. I know what happened to mine and will stand by my ground, yet truthfully I'm not bothered anymore, as I'm tired of all this shit surrounding this bricking scandal. If GW wanna accuse me of being a cloner then so be it, I couldn't give a shit anymore. They are a Triad run organization from the looks of it and see $$$ at every possible corner and extortionate money from this by holding peoples consoles to ransom.
I know I took risks sending it but I give people benefit of the doubt, but if this comes back and they officially announce that every case was a cloner, then Fuck you GW and to the whole bunch of their users.

To be honest I wish you would, as I'm getting tired of all the crap surrounding this bricking bollocks.

THX I also received email let me to send 3dsLL to him for fixing.But it is look like they don't trust what I said and the picture like your icon .I really worry about they will take wrong check to misunderstanding me as a cloner. So maybe I will fix it by raspberry Pi and get it blue again and get a video
At the time there was no unbrick fix when it happened to me, as it was getting worked on. Also, I was not in the position to wait and opted to sending it GW. You're probably best using the Raspberry Pi and do it yourself or someone who can

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it! -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
