Hacking Gateway support for Firmware 9.0 – 9.2 Coming

[rainparadesamurai]

i hope they're just waiting for smealum to release his exploit so they can incorporate it into their update if they haven't found some new exploit for homebrew on their own.

 

[Timburpton]

When support 9.2 release?

 

[digipokemaster]

When support 9.2 release?

when they tell us it out

 

[Rinnux]

When support 9.2 release?

soon

 

[Phantom_User]

I'm being REALLY hopeful, but tomorrow a video, with a release on Sunday would be super ideal. But that'll never happen.

I just hope soon is really "soon".

 

[Vappy]

You're right, that is being REALLY hopeful At best, I'm expecting a video some time in the next week or two, with a release maybe before Christmas.

An eager fan can dream :')

We all should hope that GW is not dependent on Smea's exploit.

{Speculation}
What I think will happen is that first you put the gateway card in some Sky3DS-compatible mode, then you install an exploit by running a cart like Sky3DS does (which is why 9.x is required), perhaps a known cart with an exploited savegame, perhaps a fake cart if they are really good, then it will switch into something resembling Gateway mode. It'd be interesting to see if you power off whether you have to run the exploit again first.
What I'm afraid will happen is that the Gateway will be turned into a cart-emulator like Sky3DS, except it's one game per MicroSD card (8gb ones are cheap anyway) but no lock-in.

Sky3ds works on pretty much all firmwares so your theory on Sky3ds doesnt hold water. And why would you be afraid if Gateway gets turned into a "cart-emulator like Sky3DS"? Still better that the greedy bastards at Sky3ds have to offer...
I think it has something to do with the themes they introduces in 9.x

 

[Phantom_User]

Yup. There has to be something in any vanilla 3DS "bought and/or updated to 9.x" that triggers a GW exploit. And it's 9.x specific only. It's also something that is unique to this firmware as Gateway suggests it won't most likely be suported in a 9.3 (for example) firmware update.

There will be:
. NO need for additional hardware.
. NO need to restock Gateway cards on old firmware.

So .. It's all something triggered through the MicroSD. (I guess?)

Question to all of you: If you insert a Gateway on a 3DS, what happens? Does any icon on the HOME screen appear? Any text? Any "card not found error"? I'm curious.

Only with the blue card you get an icon just that one time you install the exploit. In GW mode you have the multirom menu by pressing select. Thats it

I see ... It's even more mysterious then! Just how will they get this working. I'm so curious!

Are they maybe holding out on the video since they will show features that aren't ready yet?

Lol... Smea's exploit works using an existing game... They don't need to incorporate it, nor can they. All you need to do is launch the rom for cubic ninja.

I'm still of the belief they simply managed to figure out a new kernal exploit for current firmware. Coincidences happen, or they were holding out with it for the right time.

 

[Rinnux]

I believe they have a 9.x kernel exploit and they announced it because the sky3ds posed a threat to them.

 

[Danjal]

Sometimes the logic that people base their speculation on amazes me.

As if the entire universe revolves around the point being observed and thus *has to be* connected.
When in reality both points are probably revolving around a completely different object and any relation they have to eachother is mere happenstance.

Correlation vs Causality.

 

[Seanshoots]

I think this as well. If this is true, the kernel exploit should be able to be used with ninjhax once dumped, since we already have an entry point.

The only other way I could really think of is if they had a game exploit where you ran the target game, used exploit, and then swap out the cartridge with the GW cart to update/use it

 

[4gionz]

The fact that they tell you you don't need another card and that you don't need a 4.5 console to update the card you already have means its a kernel exploit and I'm not speculating (well I am but any other way simply wouldn't work considering all the clues gateway has left)

people tend to forget that gateway doesn't NEED the red card, they can boot you into emunand 9.0 without it if they wanted but they don't for obvious reasons. so if they found a new exploit they can get you into gateway mode so you can update your red card simply by putting a launcher.dat on the sd and triggering the exploit then once in gateway mode you update your card to be compatible if that even needed and bobs your uncle

Do people need kernel exploits for Sky3DS?
I'm still expecting anything but a new kernel exploit.

no, its based on card emulation.

 

[Arnold0]

I think gateway at least have an exploit running on 9.2 otherwise 9.2 users whould be stuck with not updated gateway card.
Or maybe they can run an update from gateway uSD but it would be not safe at all, no % remaning shown; remove the card before it's finished and the card is dead.
