Hacking Comparing: Gateway VS R4i Gold 3DS Deluxe

[Etheboss]

Hmm, I wonder.. Would it be possible to install Wood 1.64 on the Gateway DS (blue/gray) card?

Hmm, i was just wondering the same thing...after all GW uses a hacked older wood version.

Nope, it's not possible. The blue GW card is a Wood R4 Clone (probably something into the Ace3DS direction). It has to use a hacked Wood firmware.

I personally don't care much about the compatibility of the DS cartridge. I mean, the 3DS will be on Firmware 4.1-4.5 anyway and if I really want to play DS games, I'll play them on my DS Lite. (Playing DS games on a 3DS is awkward for me, for multiple reasons...)

Well fuck Oh well, probably better to go with the best and get a DSTWO eventually if I want to play DS games regularly. I'll just have to get used to taking it out of the 3DS when I'm not using it since I heard it drains battery pretty bad when not in use.

Yep and you have to run the GW installer as soon as you want to use the GW again. (It has to be run every time when you enter the DS mode).

Oh yeah, I knew that. It's a hassle, but nothing too bad.

Edit: Thanks, though. And sorry to semi-hijack this thread, pong!

Ok, so I just received my 3DS XL 4.5 and I'm now looking to buy.

I would like to encourage Gateway but the card cost +80$ and it seem to be the 3DS card only.

On the other hand, on modchipfactory.com it seem I can buy the DS + 3DS card (blue and gold) for 60$.

Am I missing something or the R4i is a way better deal?

You get 2 cards.

Yes. You're missing the heaps of discussion between R4i and GW.

My opinion is, you should wait for GW's 2.0 firmware to arrive before decided. If in the unlikely chance GW 2.0 is a flunk, you will then be better off getting the cheaper R4i. If the GW2.0 is indeed what it is, it would be worth it.

Wait, did you also get that cable and that reader with your Gateway?

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

yes, but I think the cable was more with the vendor addon, aka freebie with order.


I would have preferred modchipcentral send me the other damn sticker instead.

Update will always come after the original, like much later. So I rather go with original. I rather not wait while others enjoy new update because I have a clone and have to wait. As it stand money isn't an issue because gateway does deliver and was worth the money spent.

and...

how do you know when the update will come out for these clones? do you own a clone? so far it seems all the clones are up to date with gateway and can do everything gateway can do right now

its your money at the end of the day, i however am still waiting for CFW to come out this way i dont waste any money on a stupid flashcard that will become obsolete as soon as CFW comes out, however, if CFW isnt going to be out for a while, i wont feel as bad burning $40 on a 3dslink as i would burning $80 on a gateway
just my $0.02 though

is that the floor of your house?? anyway i didnt know that you ll get a t- flash usb

That's not the normal equipment. I got the red and the blue card only.

That was what came in the beat up bag from modchipcentral. The microSD reader is probably like the cable, an addon freebie.

That is one of the desks I got, I use it with stuff that I cut with an exacto knife.

 

[tbgtbg]

my thought is: if there is a "crack"in 5.xx and 6.xx is and the one who find it will be the "supreme ruler"of the 3ds flashcart world

Well, maybe briefly, then Nintendo will put out 7.xx.

 

[mr. fancypants]

sigh we know now to NOT update to 7.0

Off topicish but I didnt want to make a new thread..

Gateway saves.. Are they stored on the 3DS big SD Card or are they stored on the microSD?

I want to format and put a new game on the same microSD will I need to backup the save?
