Don't buy it. As for now you can't do anything with it since you are on FW 6.1. The Gateway only supports FW 4.5

You cannot play online. Gateway does this , not the rom, possibly to protect the user's 3DS in case if Nintendo takes action, or because everyone hacking mario kart races would ruin the game.

GO on Craigslist and trade your 6.1 for a 4.5. Ebay has some listed 4.5 versions. You can also email Amazon sellers to see if the box says Copyright 2012. If it does, than this means it will usually have a 4.5 firmware.

Currently it's only Monster Hunter 4 and Animal Crossing New Leaf that cannot be played due to Anti-Piracy measures and a special save. Everything else though is fair game. :)

Depends what you mean by normal games. I haven't been asked for updates as far as I am concerned. And I'm sure smash isn't going to work right off the bat on it. Most likely any future games from here on out are going to need time to work properly.

i mean if i just pop in smash brothers or monster hunter, it will ask for updates right?

so basically those games are a no go?

seems like i should be checking back in a year for a r4 type quality card :(

It depends on the firmware they came with. If you have a 4.5 3DS, you can NOT play recent normal games without updating. You also won't be able to use the eShop. And Smash will probably have rather heavy antipiracy too when that finally gets released.

More than likely. But don't waste your money or time on an R4 card. Spend a little more and get a Supercard DSTwo.

He means something like an R4 that will work for the 3DS and play 3DS games. And I doubt that's going to happen soon.

well to me all cards are "r4 cards" i was not aware that was simply a brand.

I meant ill have to wait for a card that works as good as the nds cards work right now.

whatcha mean DStwo? won't i be waiting for the gateway first? as they seem to be the closest to cracking the enigma.

you mean DStwo quality?

DSTwo is a DS flashcard it plays DS games. It works on DS, DSi, and 3DS. Gateway is a 3DS flashcard that plays 3DS games only and it only works on 3DS.

The DS2 is pretty much the best DS flashcart out there. (although build quality is terrible IMO, the features are good)

The build quality is not that bad. Mines like a day one launch model and it hasn't shown any signs of damage. :P

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea forgot bout trophies. They just silly to me. Just like the xbox achievements. Hey, to each they own tho.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It keeps players in touch with the game like a check list of things to do after they beat it
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa they ruined the gaming experience for me to be honest
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa Im not crazy about getting all of them, i feel like I have something to show for for the time put in
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa If you want to do rgh or 360 mod
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    does it matter if you update your 360 or not before trying is it advisable or not
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea I don't pay attention to them really. Or do I try to 100% a game. I just play till story ends/ or I get the girl!

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)
