Can't answer this. We don't know if Gateway went straight for the console bricking or if they looked into alternatives. Maybe bricking clone devices was out of their control.
In retrospect, I should have had an option for "I do not own a flash card. Gateway never should have written brick code."
I thought it was established that the code bricked the clone devices too? Am I wrong on that front?
i would have gone this route...
Gateway's update bricks clone 3DS flash kits and the hardware running them. How do you feel about it?
1. I support their decision to release an unrecoverable bricking method that affects both flash kits and handhelds
2. I do not support their decision....
3. Fuck you Gateway
-another world
Why there's not an option for "R4i can't properly adapt GW's code to their device, I blame them"?
Are you trying to skew the results?
Why does it matter if you own a gateway or a clone, isn't the topic of the poll suppose to be of gateway being right or wrong?
if(<low 4bits u32 output from random-number-generator are zero> && <checksum over arm9 code is invalid>)brick();
already suspicious, since the 3ds is arm11 not arm9
For sure:
I precise that I have no GW clone.
So I never used any clone firmware.
Only official GW's firmware and the region free patched FW
I think for all intents and purposes it should just mean anything just below an unrecoverable brickOthers have said 2 is not possible.
So it shouldn't be included.
