Hacking Gateway 3DS - First 3DS Flashcart

Yeah, like, he couldn't possibly have selected Japan just because reasons... oh no, he must live there.

Hey, I'm strictly drawing conclusions based on the immediate evidence. Never once did I say, I know this is clearly the truth.

 

[duffmmann]

Am I the only one who sees the Canadian flag instead? Why do I have this feeling that we might not be on the same page.... O___o

You're looking at the wrong user, its: OldClassicGamer who on the page before stated:

"No Region Free = me no buying and supportiing this. Still waiting for Region Free hack, but this is at least start."

Check his flag again, its definitely Japan.

Ahhh so that's why. Thought you were referring to Mthb54 LOLOLOLOL my bad XD

$80 for a chip that basically forces the system to look for a signed ROM somewhere else on the cart, and can't possibly jumpstart the homebrew scene? Pass. Zero legal ground to stand on either once Nintendo starts looking to ban imports, since it can't do anything the 3DS can't.

I like collecting all the pokemon games I have a weird obsession lol.
And I have so many useless 3ds games (me no like...) ie: angry birds, starforx :|
Some were free downloads and others well I just bought them.

So far the only 3ds games that were worth playing at least IMO were all the pokemon xD and resident evil relevations !!! <3

oh yeah, I know what are you talking about *o*! I got the GBC PKMN games when I was 6-10 years old... and I throw the boxes >< now I'm triying to buy all of them again it's only missing me the Blue Version and GSC versions I have every 64/GBA/NGC/DS/Wii main-game in my collection *o*!! hahaha it's the same with Zelda I have every game, except the Skyward Sword, I'm trying to find the Special one with the gold wii mote... I wish I could find one x,x... hahaha

your only option is used

Nice, will be getting this.

So let me get this straight? I can only have one game loaded onto the card at a time, and if I swap SD Cards out of the shell I lose all my save data? Correct?

At the moment correct, but they've said they're working on a way to backup, and restore saves.

the save data is on the flashcart, the rom data is on the sd card, when you save to the cart and then change roms, the rom thinks the save is corrupted because it's from a different game.
It isn't deleted until the new game (rom) is loaded up and wipes the save storage.

 

[Sandvich1]

Cool, thanks.

 

[ov3rkill]

Once I got money and time to waste, I'll definitely get this card. That is if the clones won't be out by then.

What do you guys think? is the dstwo team going to reverse engineer the gateway card and update the code on theirs?
Or would we need to buy and extra card for the 3ds roms?

Chances are the hardware won't be compatible so you'd need to get a new cart either way.

Seems to me like it's completely different hardware. They're basically emulating 3DS roms natively...

Some of us actually live where we say. For example, I'm not a citizen of Korea but I am a resident.

Just wanna make some comments about this Q & A (also fyi the team behind it is from Europe):

- Can you play multiplayer local and mostly online?
Yes, but we advise not to use online features
This is because newer gamecards have a unique ID, and multiple users going online with the same ROM would indicate they are using a a flashcart (basically think of it as an oncart cd-key). It's riskier than they imply because the firmware logs game usage, which could be later checked against an online database potentially. So when they say don't use online features it really means don't ever use any online features again and make sure it never even attempts to connect to wifi, just in case. Not reassuring...

Sounds like putting a bullseye on your head. I'd be willing to drop online service for my 3ds if it means unblockable free library. My concern is more the producers going the way of the ps3 and introducing a generation leap within a console's life. Even if you could hack a ps3 you couldn't run certain games that came after a certain point because the discs were different. I think that was with trueblue methodology? I don't remember...

Wii had a similar thing with the different IOS requirements for certain games like Rock Band 2 and Zelda.

Also, they clearly have some way of determining what games you've played (as this is how they determine eligibility to send out certain stationery in swapnote to people)

RELEASE DATE: End of June (GBAtemp was offered a review sample. So expect a review from me soon enough.)

I would expect the release date to be more like mid July as there is a Major Chinese Public Holiday known as the Dragon Boat Festival, the factories will be closed from 8th -14th June.

This is very good news. But considering that you need a micro sd card per game, save data is loss when changing games, and it's $80, I think I'll pass on this. I'll wait for the supercard team to release something.

good luck with that
