So the Gateway uses pro Chinese design and components? Gateway is China-manufactured btw...


Gateway is French.

I'm also glad that they are doing lots of testing. If testing is not done well, it's not impossible that a bad update will destroy the 3DS of all the Gateway users around the world.

if its a clone then worst case is bad build quality to keep it up to date would be as simple as ripping gateway stuff from there site and putting it on the clone.

Wont be long untill someone makes a hack for normal flash card to run CFW from SD card making clones, gateway not needed anyway.

with cheap Chinese design and components.

That's great and all, but Gateway already has cheap Chinese design and components :P

Don't get me wrong, I have a GW3DS and love it, but at the same time you have to call a spade a spade.

That probably will never happen just like the ps3 cfw has to be on 3.55 for 3ds 4.5

Well, this is what Gateway team told ME via Email

"Currently it is not compatible with firmware above 4.5
but we are working on making it compatible as quickly as possible with 5.x and 6.x firmwares"

The label on my red one got stuck in my 3DS and tore off after like two days of use.

It works fine, but it still uses cheap Chinese tech no matter how you look at it. Pretty much all flash carts do.

Ah, well, the whole sticker thing is a bit weird. Apparently, the cards and stickers were sent out seperately, and the distributors had to apply them. So I guess it comes down to whether or not your distributor sucks at applying stickers. Mine doesn't.

Well, my Red Gateway card is pretty shitty too. I have micro-SD slot with a spring that functions very bad and it is misaligned. I just don’t use the spring and take out the card without the click. And the slot is just covered with a sticker. So, this is what I call cheap Chinese design and components.

Why would they tell you that we are never going to support future firmwares that would just kill off sales

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
