I'm guessing you ended up with a dud cart, honestly can't see the R4i team purposely ripping people off tbh, they've always been quite reliable on the DS scene.
the gateway fanboys damage control is coming
so this confrims that it is not an EXACT clone ,no LED ,different board layout
boring yes, but it is kinda odd there are those extra half of a pin set that will go unused on the back side of the card
what are the extra pins for i wonder? are they for some kind or special reader/programmer used by R4 to write something to the card
gateway red does not have those extra pins on the back side, and in the pic i can see traces connected to them so they most likely serve some purpose
I think everybody knew that the hardware was not an identical clone. Or rather, it was certainly a clone, but the chip arranged differently. (It's DS sized instead of 3DS sized) The software on the other hand is just a rip off. The main difference between Gateway and R4 being a couple strings indicating that the firmware is made by Gateway ripped out on the R4 version.
Works fine with NSMB2. Will try a newer game.
Loads my save file from my GW3DS just fine.
No matter what, the thing whit the clones, copies, new cards, whatever you want to call it is that someone already received a bad card and i bet it will not be the only one, so pretty much a waste of time or money in case no one take responsibility for it. I haven't seen a "my Gateway is broken" or "not working" word around and that for me at the moment make it a better card.
You obviously haven't been paying much attention if you haven't seen any "my Gateway is broken" or "not working" threads around here. My Gateway has worked perfectly, but others have had problems with theirs. It's a bit too early to be saying this new card is unreliable. If you go to a store for the first time, and end up getting bread with mold on it, does that mean all of the bread will have mold? No, it just means you were unlucky. Since Devin got his to work (with at least one game) I'd like to see how far this goes.
That's what the man wants you to think.Hmm... wonder what would happen if you put the card in a DS, since they didn't have that notch on there to prevent it. Probably nothing or an error message but if you ever get a working card, you should try it just for fun.
No, I don't expect you'll be able to play 3DS on a DS, that's clearly impossible.

Newbies don't read posts, so you don't have to worry about that. Also: already happening/happened before/will happen again.Pong,
you might want to take out the part of it not working, because I'm sure many newbies will read that part and instantly comment "lol gateway is better, waste of money clone xD".
Or just put the edit in bold above the part where you mentioned it.
the R4i Gold 3DS Deluxe has a better MicroSD slot by my opinion
as the Gateway is Spring Loaded, and the R4i Gold 3DS Deluxe is not which i prefer as makes the slot more reliable
