I pre-ordered the special edition XL for my son this weekend. I am wondering if anyone has any idea of what firmware it will ship with as I am seraching for a card to have when i pick it up on the 27th.
Which card were you planning on getting?
Cause its a new revision of the XL its gonna be 5.1+ firmware, now is it gonna be 6.1.6.2 or others, we don't know.
If u are getting him a DS Flashcard then i suggest u to get DSTWO, its a bit pricey but it supports the newest firmware.
If u wanna go the cheap way then get R4i Gold from R4ids.cn.
R4i Gold can he easily blocked by Nintendo, it survives about 4-5 max system updates and then it gets fully blocked while DSTWO can't be blocked.
really good info. i think an r4i gold would be good. i want him to eventually play actual 3ds games but dont want to pay $80 for the gateway.
DSTWO and R4i Gold 3DS can't play 3DS roms, only DS roms.
And gateway wouldn't work on ur 3DS XL system cause gateway only works from 4.0-4.5 firmware.
And about R4i Gold, try to get the revision D.
I asked in case you were thinking of getting the GateWay, which you will likely not be able to use on your 3DS.i was looking into the r4i gold 3ds
yea, im aware that all cards play ds roms on 3ds. he's fine with that.
i guess i will wait for further updates to the gateway then.
what revision are you referring to on the r4i gold 3ds? get it already flashed to work on 6.3?
Because they're cheap, and a lot of people buying them are kids that want a ton of games without spending much money.Not sure why R4s are so popular.
You say that like wanting a ton of games without spending much money is a bad thing. Getting more back than you put in is called profit.Because they're cheap, and a lot of people buying them are kids that want a ton of games without spending much money.
You could cancel the pre-order, buy a secondhand 3DS, and get a Gateway for the same price, if not less. If you're going to teach your son it's okay to pirate games, you might as well make up for it by teaching him that looks aren't everything. He doesn't need the paintjob.I pre-ordered the special edition XL for my son this weekend.

Unlike every other cart, it's never been blocked. It uses special update methods and new hardware to get around the checks.Just curious, but what makes you so sure that the DSTwo card can't be blocked?
I mean i'm not trying to argue I just purchased a DS Two and was wondering if it would the end all be all solution for me.
Thanks!
