Gateway 3DS Already Blocked

[Osha]

Honestly who the fork cares about homebrew/emulators anymore.

I care. If somehow, the 3DS mode was hacked and stuff like a PS1 emulator could be released on it, it would be fantastic.

Honestly who the fork cares about homebrew/emulators anymore. For things like flashcard the goal is to be able to play new games not games that have been out and emulated on every system since the 90s. If you want to play mario 1 download it and play it from a emulator on your cell phone.

Ah, it's just not the same

This is good news. I would like the 3DS to have a few more years of unadulterated glory before the scene catches up and piracy runs ramant.

Homebrew, yeah its sad we cant do that stuff yet but for some reason, homebrew in some minds means nothing more than a way to load commercial roms...

With great homebrew comes great piracy...

That's what i thought when i first heard word homebrew i thought that homebrew are programs for consoles that someone made that can run roms xD

Good to know Nintendo's on the ball. It's way too early for 3DS flashcarts to emerge anyways.

Wait a few years until the 3DS has a large collection of good high-quality games before scaring away developers, that's what I think.

This is why I didn't update.

First of all we must know sth about firmware structure then we could do sth to have knowlegde about use it to promgramming purposes. Ok, if Gateway was blocked ok... but if they now haven't got fix so we must get info from them if they add ability to future update of card... But 1-thing is strange if SuperCard was updated on 24-hours so it was possible - ok but why they (Gateway) still working on it. After that info I refuse to buy it now I'll wait for few next updates of Nintedo FW and if they could provide support.

Supecard only plays homebrew/games in DS Mode, the Gateway plays 3DS roms in 3DS Mode, you cant compare those cards. The DS System is known and hacked for long time now, so theyll ahve some experiences. Also the DS scruity systems seems to be not sooo good. The Gateway is the FIRST 3DS card, which have to take care about those whole new 3DS security system. People should give gateway more time to deliver the compatibility. Of course, if it wont works on 6.x.x i wont buy it, though, il give them 2-3 wekks before il realy count them out

Kind of hoping that this doesn't get released. Regardless of what some might say, third-party support for the DS and to a greater extent, the PSP fizzled out near the end thanks to piracy. While it didn't really affect major games like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest as much, it certainly had an effect on the more niche games that relied on the core to sell.

Gateway? Evidently, Nintendo found a Gate-away.

If they can't get it updated to work on the new firmware, then it wasn't worth the money in the first place.
I'm actually glad this happened, I was going to order one once they were released, but I really don't want to sacrifice eShop access for a flashcart that only runs one game at a time, where you can't even switch the game if you care about your saves.
That last thing is what really bothers me about the cart. It can't be that hard to have a way to back up and restore saves on the 3DS itself, for example by backing up the save every time the card is initialized/power cycled (and restoring the save for the respective game if it was changed). That way you would just have to eject and reinsert the cartridge, or power cycle the 3DS. They could even use DS mode to do it if there's no other way.

blocked before release... ahh.

*Switches wireless switch off on 3DS*
Anti-Anti Nintendo Piracy measure.

But yes, for all those with two 3DS' or don't care to update a review is still coming.

 

[Searinox]

Don't be so amazed by the fact that they blocked something not even out. This is a general flashcart-blocking update that affects everything. Like before, flashcart developers will have to come up with a new update that gets around it.

damn you dr edmond brown next time keep your deloreon time machine locked and have a car alarm

His name is Emmett. Emmett Lathrop Brown Ph.D.

Just saying^^

 

[tsuna]

What I'm surprised about is how nintendo blocked the flashcart before release. Was the exploit that gateway used obvious or some shit?

 

[blinkdragonid]

I learned the hard way and passed up the ps3 3.55fw. I'm not updating this time.

 

[Ryukouki]

I just don't see the point of updating the 3DS, even if I lose access to the eshop at this point. None of the features have even been that great anyway. I'm still stuck on the 4.5.x.x release or something along that line.

Simple, I hate Piracy, unless there is no other way.
There are still enough people who want to use Homebrew, and that's excluding Emulators (I hate Emulators as well).
