I am getting there, just getting back into the 'scene' groove, I should have some New 3DS news early next week.
This week been hell, I had to move my office into a new building on Monday, and then on Tuesday we had an 5.0 earthquake, followed by two almost as large aftershocks, and lost all my power/internet/water until late last night, lucky no damage to my building or barrio, just some deaths in the saltmines.
Now catching up to all my emails and PM's and all the crazy whining posts I have missed reading.
Stay Tuned.

I'm really not fussed with waiting. The 3.0 update proved Gateway were not bullshitting us - I have full faith now in them delivering an excellent high level of standards update for the N3DS.

This ^^^

Also going to be interesting to see whether Gateway can play and backup New 3DS exclusive games such as Xenoblade Chronicles when they're eventually released. Hope so, but if not then I'll be fine with just being able to play old 3DS games.

lol Hype is dead to be honest,many people are now considering buying the now region free SKY3DS even though they own a gateway.
I actually did too for a split-second but what if the exploit will get fixed in 9.5 (it will) and the first games that require this firmware are out, you want to play them, need a patch to go online in game X etc? Welp.

As long as the N3DS support will offer EmuNAND that's still the way to go right now.

Only us N3DS owners are left frustrated as none of the new exploits work for us (yet?)

Yet!

You should thank all the ones who couldn't wait. Maybe N3DS support would have been released faster if Team GW wasn't forced to release a beta to silence a few of their customers.

They need to compete. They aren't doing all of this to silence customers or anything. This is all financial. Every day they take means someone chooses a competitor and one less GW sale. It is in there best interest to work fast and get updates out as soon as possible.

If gateway team releases this new exploit before the eu-USA n3ds release date, we could pre order the gateway flashcart and have it before the release!

Yeah I know the hype is basically dead. Even my own is gone, I was trying to restart it.

At any rate, Sky won't help N3DS owners any more than it used to right? Smea's RegionThree release doesn't work on N3DS either, since it uses the GW website payload.

I mean, I got a Sky with my N3DS so I'd be able to use it while I waited on GW, but I'd much rather have my games installed and have my eshop titles and be able to mess with the saves more. But in the meantime I can keep glitch-running OoT3D or use either of my regular 3DSs

They don't need to do anything. When do you get that? Not everyone is interested in every last buck he or she can make. One example: Unlike most of the modern Youtube community I make videos for fun, not for a living (even though I monetize my videos and get a few bucks out of it, which isn't very much). If I wanted to I could screw all my morals and become rich by only showing what the people want to see, sacrificing what I really would like to show instead. But I'm cool with having a minority of nearly 4k subs that really understand my passion.
Gateway of course is a different kind, because they make money out of their product big time. But what if these guys are just as easy to please as me? I mean, look at people like Smealum or Dark_Alex (you know, PSP scene and stuff). These guys contribute without the intention of even getting paid for that. And if Team Gateway is just a little bit like them and fine with what they already got, giving us even more features to ensure a stable (opposed to a maximum) income, that's an honorable way of life. All of their releases that were not being called "Beta" didn't have major bugs, even the betas were not harmful. With the last update Team GW even allowed for piracy without buying their product. In their next update they'll probably do the same for the N3DS (assuming emuNAND will be supported). And who of the kiddies complaining about not being able to spend their goddamn time with something else will thank them for that? They contributed more than any other company in this business and people are still whiny about what they are about to contribute. You might be better off letting them make their own marketing decisions, even if they are not your own.

    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

    @Xdqwerty, FNF sucks, their community is toxic as hell.

    @The Real Jdbye, and quite a lot of people involved in those mods get cancelled

    Newgrounds wasn't the birth of FNF; rather, it was games where you beat up celebrities and parodies.
