Hang on a second, isn't the MT-card using the Nano version?
Also, the mechanism of the usb update hasn't really fully been explored yet. I wonder if when updating it via PC, it uses the PC CPU to reprogram the FPGA.
No, I meant that it's the same silicon die inside the different packaging. If I recall correctly, the GW card also uses a A3PN250. So what Microsemi and other FPGA vendors do is they make a half a dozen different silicon die's of different sizes and related architectures... Then they package that silicon die up two dozen different ways and sell them for different prices. Some packages will have more pins, or tighter pin spacing, etc. Typically the smaller and tighter the pin placement, the more the part will cost. That's all I was saying... Although the MT card is using a different package from the GW card, both are using an FPGA with the same insides (A3PN250).
lambstone:
You can't generalize things with just my comments. You need the opinion of all devs to generalize things.
And it's not that unlikely as you think. The users who don't know about boards like this maybe know the R4 from the DS. So they think they need a card for the 3DS too and the flashcard manufacturer know this and rip off these people. Even if there would be a CFW, the flashcard manufacturers life from stupid users and they will continue to rip off these users.
And with "not mine" i mean i did not make all parts of the software and i respect the opinion of the others. They don't want me to release their work.
I see again, it's not a good idea to post here. The others don't post here because they know here are angry kids and idiots.
How does one get into these inner development circles? I understand the need for secrecy, and I also understand the lack of interest of letting just anyone help; however how does one break into this world? I am fully aware that this post will receive no real response.
