Hacking ANNOUNCING: GATEWAY 2.0 “OMEGA” PRIVATE BETA

[vassildador]

Two more things:

1) The EmuNAND System Settings still exits to SysNAND, so that's not fixed.

I don't think it's actually easily (if at all) fixable. It seems to me that whenever one exits the System Settings the system pretty much reboots. You can notice the screens turning off (they don't just go black, the backlight goes out) and on again, and iirc there's a barely audible "pop" in the speakers.

I've been trying a few things, and I found that if you trim and remove the update data from some ROMs (currently experienced with LOZOT3D and RE:REV), on an exFAT formatted SD card, it causes the console to lock up, requiring a hard reset, if you attempt to load the game. They do show up in the multi-ROM menu though, and untrimmed ROMs don't present this issue either.

were they scene dumps you trimmed? or your own?

I bought a 128gb and a 64gb micro sd on eBay they were all fake. Ty paypal protection...

2.0b1 not working after fpga update.

I so hope 2.0 doesn't have brick code

 

[weatMod]

To sell for profit.
I bought a "32GB" MicroSD from some seller on Amazon. The card says 32GB, but if you write any more than 4 gigs, data becomes corrupt. So, I overpaid for a 4 gig card.

you can buy the cheap one , then buy a real one from best buy then put the fake one in the box and return it with your recipt, profit$

Thanks, now everyone's gonna do it :3

IMO, just buy your cards from amazon. Best price? Maybe not. But at least you know they'll probably be real.

so i wonder if GW can or will ever release a "downdate" for the FPGA for people who want to go back to older fw, (yes i said downdate deowitit)

 

[Fábio Silva]

I seriously doubt they'll let us downgrade the firmware. Remember 2.0b2? They just pushed us to keep going with it, saying " 2.0b2 is the most recent and stable release you can possibly have at the moment "

I doubt it's something that they would do. Don't get your hopes up.

I doubt it.
I feel like most temper's fears are unfounded. Just because there WAS a brick code, doesn't mean there will be this time.

You can notice the screens turning off (they don't just go black, the backlight goes out) and on again, and iirc there's a barely audible "pop" in the speakers.

I believe that would be a simple problem with their NAND redirection. They simply haven't patched the System Settings application to direct it's reboot to the EmuNAND instead of SysNAND. It's not so bad though, as it gives you that option of exiting GW mode without a hard-reboot.

were they scene dumps you trimmed? or your own?

I was using scene releases, not my own dumps, to test. After re-trimming though, I found that the hard-freeze only occurs when certain games lose their update partition, but CCI trimming is no problem. Of course, Card2 games still don't follow that.

Has anyone dumped a physical copy of pokemon y ver 1.2 that has an emuNAND classic(GW3D 7.1.0-15U) save on it, the dump was successful, but when i load the rom it says " The saved game data is corrupted. Refer to the electronic manual for details."

 

[Saturosias]

For those of looking for the beta, you can always try using web archives of threads.

I wonder who might have archived page 4 of a certain unnamed thread.

Spoiler

someone should email GW and ask for more menu options, 2 extra ones, one to dump just sav from retail carts and maybe another one for dumping just sav from cart 2 retail carts, i was hoping i could dump my retail cart sav files and put them on my sd , but seems you still need an r4i sav dongle, ,not sure if r4i sav dongle can even dump cart 2 sav games

That's because you didn't played it on emuNAND, or am I wrong?

Am I the only person who finds it somewhat ominous that the name of the beta software is "Omega" which in bliblical terms, and ancient greek alphabet terms, means "the end"?

alpha-beta-omega....they are release stages XD

I updated pokemon with emuNAND 7.1.0-15U to ver. 1.2 and then created a save using emuNAND classic mode

 

[AngryRussianKid]

Do I need Blue GW Card anywhere? I have lost it unfortunately.

What do you use for downloading games?
1. Format to exFAT and simple drag drop
OR
2. Something other.

Hold Up+X+B on that screen to delete the save data on the ROM.
