Okay. Since most ppl don't like me anyways, I'll say it...

NOTE TO ADMINS: I understand if this gets taken down. No hurt feelings.


With the advent of Sky3DS it comes down to one thing:

Ripping private header IDs.



Now, I understand most of you are trying to do a last-ditch-effort to save homebrewing but really, the only thing GW has right now which Sky3DS on 9.5 doesn't is ROM dumping. I know, ROM dumps will still happen thanks to 9.2+GW users. Not worried there. I see more promise in tools like Sky3DS Army Knife than I do in KARL3DS (which requires 9.2 which will soon be near impossible in time)

I know we can memory dump, but still some games are completely blocked from header dumping on 9.5.

Time to go get a Powersaves Pro 3DS and start reverse engineering the software. It just makes sense to hack the cheat tool which will make this a 3rd party issue Nintendo will then have to deal with.

Heck, if we could just use one 3DS with GW and connect the PPP3DS through server connection and wallah, header/ROM dumping.

Getting chip ID is gonna be harder than cart ID, but if the Sky3DS functions like a cart, it really comes down to cart ID header.

So go buy a PPP3DS dongle and "wait... wait... wait..." (the now infamous quote of GW/Sky3DS)

And lock...

The only way this seems feasible to do would be to get a chunk of homebrew somehow officially signed and load it via the Sky cart. Sadly, I don't foresee this happening any time in the near future.

Wow. My thread hasn't been closed yet... WAKE UP!!! :whip:

lol you know you don't need the GW card to dump roms... right?
you think the only benefit that gw has, over sky, is rom dumping? wow
 
D
So, just to be clear, you don't think a multirom menu is beneficial? I guess, some people are fine with barebones...Emunand is there for your own safety, so you don't actually botch your real NAND...Nand backup not needed? Don't come crying to the forums when you DO screw up your NAND somehow, because that's also there for your own safety...Downgrading....well I bet you wish you had it so you could dump your game's headers, eh?

It seems like you have a chip on your shoulder. Anyway gateway is for people who like the technical side and sky3ds is for users who don't want to fuss with said features. With that being said I don't know how your points help your argument either, I'm glad you don't want what gateway offers because it doesn't fit your wants I suppose.

cia's are definitely needed, just wait until sky is blocked and nobody can play pokemon online since it has an update.

Kind of like how they blocked users from installing GW after 9.5... in time all things will be shut down. But Sky3DS has more promise for new users than GW since firmware gets updated on new shipments of 3DSXLs.

CIAs: Okay, maybe. Maybe. If CIAs are allowed, Nintendo will DEFINITELY block Sky3DS just like GW.

Keep expectations low, and Nintendo won't despise it as much. But at this point, I'm trying to aim for basics.

Of course if something like homebrewing cracks 9.5 it would be spectacular. But that really doesn't seem like an option for the future. Especially since Nintendo is going the way of the XBone.

Actually, I think ppl are trying to respect the RESPECT sticky. So go easy on 'em. Not really too concerned over flaming. I did point out the obvious... so yeah. I'm the ID-10-T Error here.

Does sky3ds still work on 9.5 plus? Should I buy one? lol

Better than buying a GW with 9.5+

Not sure what you were assuming. That we're only pro-GW? We're pro-progress.

Wow. That's as close to a sympathy hug as I've ever gotten... from a Supes none-the-less!!!???

I'm pro-progress as well. And I'm not saying GBATemp doesn't do a good job. In fact, quite the opposite. GBATemp busts its @$$ and has overcome worse... so I am hopeful.

Back to letting out some stress... keep 'em coming folks.

Guys, all he is saying is he doesn't need all that GW has to offer. He only needs the card to play roms and on the latest firmware. So........sky3ds it is. Now why is he here trying to start a flame war against GW is beyond me....

I don't hate on sky in fact I just ordered one. However for some users the rom selection is a pain. I will probably only have 10 or so games but my boys have been using it a couple of weeks and have 50 plus games already. No multi rom menu is deal breaker for them.

I am saying I just want to play games on 9.5+ and be able to use online capabilities. PokeInjection would also be nice... since 23U blocks it. Meh...

Not starting a flame war. Just letting people brainstorm and let some stress out. Next time, throw some poo my way. No harm, no foul.

Okay, you get a gold star: :shit: (that's as close as I can get to gold star, enjoy!)

31+ games per SD card on Sky3DS needs help. Already knew that. Kinda blame false advertising, but then again, some have argued that there really aren't more than 31 decent games to play on 3DS anyhow... so... Blame Nintendo for sucking at their job? I dunno... good one, though.

Scrolling is annoying but works on 9.5+. I'm sure one day the Sky3DS will gain the upper hand. Next...
 
thorasgar
I don't have a problem with 31 game limit given you have to press a button, in fact 31 is to many in my opinion. It is simply a pain to deal with large amounts of roms with sky and easy with gateway.

SKY3DS: NOT REALLY NEEDED ;P


Jokes aside,
Sky3DS is more of an entry unit, whereas GW3DS is more, for intermediate to pro users.

Basic users can live of Sky3DS (until it gets blocked), but that's about it.

I agree and thought people were already using Cubic Ninja with Sky3DS to launch homebrew. We only need an all-software solution for Sky3DS and Gateway users to be jealous. Will we get one? I think so, but who knows...
