Hacking RELEASE: GATEWAY 2.2 "OMEGA" - Homebrew and Online support

[cearp]

Respect the rules and don't post firmware files. I'm not a mod, but I do know that it is not tolerated..

but surely a link to a site that hosts the gateway files (not a direct link to the files) that the gateway website itself has, is ok right?
if not, then are we even allowed to link to the gateway site then? or a pastebin page that has the link on it... lol
it's not a private beta or anything

 

[tjexp]

The firmware is on the official website

What is a homebrew anyway? Is it firmware that make by user?

The firmware is on the official website

sure but someone said it wasn't, or at least that they couldn't see it, someone else said that the site was too slow or something, so i just made it easy and put the link here for them

No. Simplty put, it is a homemade program/game.

 

[Runehasa]

I have updated and so far so good. I dont have any retail games with online capabilities to test though but I do see the new options. Also just wanted to put this out there as it is also a part of the firmware that seems to be overlooked

* Homebrew support

It was about time this happened, so now you can develop and run homebrew games and applications just like the real deal!
In particular, we would like to thank smea for his contributions, otherwise none of this would be possible.

You can find a sample homebrew 3ds game in our downloads section, and we hope to see many more!

Note that the ctrulib homebrew library is not yet completely stable, as can be seen in the graphical artifacts and when closing the homebrew application.

I guess it looks like it's the same m o for every pirated game " if you want to play online buy the game, support the developers"(Brand New I mean because who knows if someone dumped there game buying it used).

It's there now along with smea's Yeti 3DS. Refresh and check the downloads. Also the website is very slow

It's not a matter of availability. The firmware files include code owned by Nintendo and GBAtemp received a DMCA takedown for the files. Hosting and linking to the files is illegal on the temp.

ok, so i can't upload it to filetrip or gbatemp, i didn't.
and i can't post a link to the files, i didn't.
it seems ok, right. as long as you don't post a direct link to the files.

Game dumps are not unique, all carts of a given game from the same region and revision are exactly the same, using the same dump by multiple users is not a giveaway of any kind, it's the protocol that may be off and trigger detection. Great update (if real).

Or not, my mistake!

what do you mean 'if real'?
the update works...

Aha my bad

I'm going to dump my Mario kart and see if that works

 

[longxa762]

Can some one upload video confirm that online play work for retail dump?

 

[Foxi4]

Oh, this is a release, not a private beta/announcement of future features, my bad!

That's not true foxi. All carts have a unique 16 byte ID at 0x1200 (when dumped by GW). I'm sure Nintendo has a whitelist of them that they'll be more than willing to leverage when fools go online.

 

[boomario]

The update is at official website with same changelog and the yeti-3ds homebrew sample.

 

[Foxi4]

Interesting, I didn't know that. What about normal cart dumps, are those ID'd as well or is this a GW Dumper thing? In any case, I put my trust in Nintendo's incompetence in handling online and security - it never failed me before.

 

[Qtis]

Now if they just got 6.x-7.x working, the product would be almost perfect. Not perfect, but close

Overwhelming news, now it's time for the 3D homebrew emulators to overcome Nintendo's Virtual Console releases..
