Hacking ANNOUNCING: GATEWAY 2.0 “OMEGA” PRIVATE BETA

[Cover77]

I just tested the Gateway Omega too. My Emunand is fully working on 7.1.0-16E. The menu is faster and i only got one little freeze. I can also confirm that E-Shop works and saves from E-Shop titles are still there. Here are some photos i took.

I'd also include the fact you can;t trim NAND save games and also you no longer have to exit through the home button after saving a game

They never said anything about that. Where are you getting this info from?

 

[Hellz92]

So, where's all the people crying GW was ditching everyone, or being EVO3DS?

I just tried quitting a game by just powering off after I saved and it saved just like normal

It's always been able to do that. If you were to save in game, turn off console, switch game, then go back tot eh first game, the save wouldnt be there. Saves only work without having to go home first as long as you dont switch games.

By the way, my 3ds freezed after updating the GW red card, and choosing to launch into GW mode. Had a black screen and not responding for over a minute. Turned the 3ds off and started it back up, after that worked fine.

So I'm running on emuNAND latest firmware version, with a 32 gb microSD card. Everything is running smooth and well, no crash at all, no lags, nothing. That's really awesome, congratulations team Gateway !

I bought Phoenix Wright. You can't play eshop games which you don't own, because of their signature.

If anyone who has a NAND flashing kit installed in their system happens to be testing the Omega firmware, I'd love to see the Diagnostics Tool in action gamesquest1 style - if the firmware doesn't brick consoles, I'll have to include it in the P.S.A. update.

As expected, Gateway delivers once more, even if once more it's later than expected. Apparently they're not closing doors and keep supporting the card - what a shocker.

yeah already giving it a thorough testing....shame about the irresponsible leak....but oh well's it was always going to happen i suppose, would of like to get a bit more time to give it a proper test though

Really? I didn't know that, sorry for the mis-information!

Is your dump recognized by tools like 3DSExplorer?

Take your time. Nobody's rushing you when consoles are at stake - we'd rather have a thorough test than an overly optimistic one.

Are you sure that's a good idea? What if Gateway changed their bricking method and it no longer works with the usual way of unbricking?

I don't use the 3DSExplorer, but Rom Tool definitely recognises it:

well better it come to light whilst its in the hands of someone who could alert everyone straight away

 

[DestinyFeather]

I'd be thinking that the original GWs of the official beta testers would be less likely to get bricked for the sake of their reputation.
For god's sake, please be careful and patient people, don't forget what happened last time with the bricking.
