Would it only be region free to the games on the Gateway card, or would it allow the DS to be region free after the card was initiated?

sorry! i meant 3DS retail games. it's sad that you can't do it though, i hope gateway releases a patch that would allow region free/spoof for retail cards once you get into GW3DS mode.

patience my friend.
for example if you cant play with the gateway the new pokemon X/Y and the new zelda do not growl :P

sure, of course games that have not been released yet are not dumped yet, but i mean i have a game that has not been dumped yet, so, if i did not have a 3ds capable of playing it, i would be upset :)
it will be nice when we can dump our own games, then it will make things more legal for countries which it is illegal to download roms, plus will give the gateway more justification of being a product if it is not just for piracy. the homebew should be interesting!

i wonder how long it will be until we can load dsi roms, region free would be nice too.

all 3ds games are region locked, and i'm pretty sure all or most dsi enhanced games are region locked too

all 3DS, DSi Exclusive & DSi Enhanced are region locked

the only reason we got around teh DSi Enhanced region lock was by playing them in DS Mode, so we loose the DSi features as well as the Region lock

There are a few people on here who have recieved gateway cards already so I'm sure at least one person can comment on it. I think Devin commented on playing mario and luigi tream team euro rom on a NA 3ds with it, testing both the region free and firmware spoofing on the same game as it "requires" 5.x+


It doesn't work with retail games yet.


It works with "backups", just not physical, normal retail cartridges. At least one part of it being that you can't run 3ds retail cartridges in the "gateway" mode although that's probably not the only restriction but who knows.
