I just noticed that they removed ps3crunch from their "official forums" list.
Probably all 3 if retail cards work on EmuNAND, if not you'll probably be able to update via online or with a ROM
well since it says that you can dump your own roms in 2.0 then i assume that retail card would not be blocked ,unless they are blocked from running but not for dumping tool
actually what gateway has is an exploit ,a bug in the OS that allows kernel access to gateway ,it isn't possible to remove the process of install as long as there is no cfw present.and installing cfw has many dangers and also it isn't a money generator for all those cards clones and original too.what I still don't understand is, why do we need to always activate the flaw through DS mode, wouldn't it be possible to flash the modded firmware once for all ?
Nothing to do with money, modern consoles have something called a "chain of trust": the boot process is divided in various phases, in each phase a piece of code authenticates the next one and then loads it. Unless you find a problem in one of the "authentication" processes, you can't replace anything. Old PSPs had such a bug in the very first piece of code that is executed, the "preIPL", this allowed custom firmware (and brick recovery via pandora). New PSPs had the bug fixed, but the key used by Sony to sign the OS "components" (I'm simplifying) was found out thanks to a PSP emulator embedded in the PS3 (lol) so you could just modify them, sign them and flash them back. Let's not even talk about Wii, which didn't have a proper "chain of trust", since the System Menu (last part in the boot process) wasn't even being authenticated prior to being loaded. Neither were the IOSes. So no hassles at all. PS3 had the signing key found out too because of a "math mistake" by Sony (they didn't sign properly). So you could modify, sign and flash back. X360 had no problems at all, so they basically had to glitch the processor with a chip (the processor basically gets "confused" until the authentication succeeds). No software mistakes. After this wall of text, the possibilities are:actually what gateway has is an exploit ,a bug in the OS that allows kernel access to gateway ,it isn't possible to remove the process of install as long as there is no cfw present.and installing cfw has many dangers and also it isn't a money generator for all those cards clones and original too.
what i at least wait is some homebrew and emulators and even a cheat gen but those will come later on

I know all of this, but once the flaw is activated I don't see what's holding the Gateway team to flash the modded firmware they're using on the 3DS NAND, you'd still need to use their flashcart and we would just not have to activate that flaw every time we use DS mode...
They're not using a modded firmware, they're basically dualbooting two different firmware versions. Both of them are unmodified firmwares, they just happen to be in different places. If Gateway had the ability to make custom firmware, then we wouldn't need carts in the first place.
they're using a custom firmware dude, how else would you bypass the security checks then ? they just do like smealum is doing at the moment but only pacing their work on the free games at the moment...
They use exploits in the code, that's how. The way things happen is that you find exploits and then exploit them. The way you're thinking is the opposite. You'd need to bypass the security checks before installing a custom firmware. If you think this is some big conspiracy on their part, trying to get as much money as possible before someone "leaks" a custom firmware, then that's pretty silly.
they're using a custom firmware dude

- The signing key gets found out (no chance, unless a miracle happens haha)
They don't, "dude". The firmware isn't being modified. There's additional code run alongside everything else.
Dude just study how smealum achieved his work and study how gateway did, they use the same flaw and both can modify the firmware using this flaw, it seems normal that soem people would like to make money out of this and Gateway did, I don't mind it as they're the first ones to make it possible for everyone and they provide good support, not like if they are bad or anything they just want money i'm okay with this I myself own a Gateway...
