All I ever wanted was the ability to play any region of games on my 3DS, and all I still have is Gateway.
It's ridiculous.
To be fair, that Normatt guy is to blame here for implementing a code by barely patching GW's work instead of doing a better job creating his own code like other users here have started to do after the proper tools were released.
Probably the user who posted the news about the modified launcher should have stated that it was a beta release and that users should proceed with caution and avoid the modified launcher if they didn't want to experience unexpected issues.
Now the hacker comes here saying that there was checkers in the code that intentionally bricks the console, but days after his patch was released.
That's very irresponsible and I guess that's the first reason other hackers don't release their work after doing proper testing.
