Hacking GATEWAY ULTRA 3.0.3 PUBLIC BETA

[Apache Thunder]

Doesn't matter. The real question is, was there a publicly available exploit that was well known to work before they bought a console expecting it to be hacked? You don't buy a 3DS with the expectation of 9.2CFW. As it doesn't exist at the moment. Neither does gateway's N3DS update, so you shouldn't buy a console expecting it.

I bought a Gateway expecting the new exploit to come. Released a couple days after I got it in the mail. So that worked out just fine for me.

I don't think I would buy an entire console like this though. Though by the time I can save up money to buy a N3DS, Gateway will have released their update for it by that point. If said update exists that is.

If it turned out to be false, all that money I would have saved up would go to something else. Win win situation for me.

Except, you know, when the cart manufacturer releases a video of it explicitly working on the N3DS. And the PSP-3000 is a terrible analogy. The PSP-3000 is still hackable to an extent. It can accomplish all the same tasks as the other PSP revisions, including ISO and homebrew launching.

Agree. If they didn't show the video, not many people would complain about n3ds support. But they used n3ds console when they made that video.

There was a real chance that if you didn't buy the New3DS ASAP, you'll miss you chance to have it on <=9.2 FW. In December (when ppl were buying New3DS) they had 2 options:

1) Buy the New3DS now (in December) and get a guarantee it'll have <=9.2 FW
2) Wait, and pray that Nintendo is slow at putting 9.3+ FW on their New3DSs

It turns out that Nintendo is slow, but in December there was no way to tell so people played it safe.

Is that what everyone is waiting for? N3DS and 2DS support? I've already resigned to the fact that gateway might never work on N3DS, and 2DS has always been out of the question due to it's limited feature set. I've just been waiting for proper save management. Seems much more important to ensure that your saves don't get all messed up, over supporting entirely new systems that might need different exploits. 1 fully hacked console > many barely hacked ones, IMO. Hell, I wouldn't even expect the XL to work properly with gateway. If you're gonna hack it, get the base console. It only makes sense. You don't buy a PSP-3000 when you want to hack it, you get a PSP-1000, regardless of how cool the 3000 is. When you get a Wii to hack, you don't get the one without gamecube ports, you get the launch model (even if it doesn't come in black). It just makes sense.

The 2DS works very similarly to the 3DS. I've been using GW on this 2DS and it's working just as well as on the 3DS XL my friend is using. N3DS is a different story apparently.

im still on 3.o.1. no need for these on my systems if they havent fixed any other bugs

 

[Huntereb]

2DS still broken? Not even gonna attempt a test this time.

Hey, if you people think the n3DS support is bad:

GATEWAY PUBLIC RELEASE 2.3b
Posted on August 29, 2014
* The Gameboy Advance virtual console games and DSiWare are not working yet.
We acknowledge this and we will try to get it working after the next firmware release.

lol 5 months no news

Now it is. Not when it was released. That's the point. You don't compare it after 6 years of its release.

Right, but the difference here is that there IS an exploit working at the launch of the console. It's just not made public yet.
Not to mention the PSP 3000 was hacked just one month after release.

And the N3DS hasn't even been released yet (at least in the US). Give it a month after release, and then you can start complaining.

If only they could get Classic Mode working with 9.2 sysNAND without the red card.

Yeah that annoys me too.

Why does the fact that it hasn't been released in the US have anything to do with it? It's been available on the market since October. The launch of the console in the US will make no difference in terms of compatibility. It's confirmed they're running an exploitable firmware. If they can get things running on the Jap system that they showcased two months ago.

I can use Gateway on my OG 3DS while I wait, but I'd sure love to sell it as soon as possible to recoup the cost of my new console. I'm sure if the tables were reversed and it was only the N3DS that got support, and not the original model, you'd be upset too. Have some compassion for the people who can't use it. They have every right to complain.

Not really. I'd just go about my day before I got all hyped up in gateway stuff (maybe about a week ago). I was literally continually updating my console until Ninjhax came out. Then I stopped and put it aside until I got the game. From there I just kept my console unupdated and I just went about my life. Soon to find out there's a promise of downgrading/9.2 support, and then I did that.

If they had simply said "no regular 3DS support" or "regular 3DS support coming soon" I wouldn't sit around here complaining. If it's "coming soon" I'd just wait. Not complain every update. I'd certainly expect the current consoles supported to get more features/support, while the unsupported devices come later, or perhaps never. I didn't by my 3DS for a gateway, I bought it because I like the 3DS. The gateway is extra.

Oh yes, let's all just forget about EU, AUS, and JAP so that your argument can be valid

And people can complain whenever they want, if you don't like it then get out or put them on ignore. Why are you even here anyways? You have absolutely no interest in New3DS or these regions, you're only here to tell other people what they can't do

I'm interested in Gateway's work and the new updates. I do have an interest in New3DS, but I'm not going to hop on it immediately and then complain about lack of support. I'll probably pick one up in a year or so, which by that time will probably already have support. As far as the other regions go, I thought that's what this post is about and what the N3DS people are complaining about (that more regions are supported rather than the N3DS).

More regions for the same console = more people looking into it = more cool stuff. The question is: why are the N3DS people here? There's not even an ETA on when the support will be released. Just because you saw a demo video of it doesn't mean it's 100% ready to go.

 

[DevilHands]

I am not going to name anybody, but some people here are **** just because they can already play their 3DS with Gateway.

You can't freakin defend Gateway and blame the people who bought an N3DS early, that's just no excuse.

We wouldnt have bought an N3DS if it wasnt for Gateway who promoted it in the first place and said that it will only work with 9.2 firmware and below. We bought it early for fear that future releases of the new system will be more than 9.2.

Therefore stop blaming us and **** off.

P.S. - Look I am happy for 3DS owners but I hate the fact that you put the blame on people who bought N3DS early

 

[Multiboy2k]

Agree. If they didn't show the video, not many people would complain about n3ds support. But they used n3ds console when they made that video.

^^^THIS. False advertisement is false.^^^^

Don't buy something before it's out. Simple as that. Stuff get's canceled/scrapped/blocked/etc all the time. What if gateway just closed up shop right now and didn't release anything else? Would you be happy with your purchases? I don't see why that's such a big problem for people. Gateway is a company which makes products for you to purchase. They aren't a public service, and they aren't obligated to release the stuff they show off. Go look at any number of scrapped games. You gonna complain since you can't get those either? If you bought a N3DS and it turns out there's no support for it, then that's your own damn fault. Not gateway's. Just like how if you updated to 9.4 it's not gateway's job to fix that. If they release a 9.4 exploit then great. If not, then no big deal.

 

[DevilHands]

Wuuut?? Thats the most senseless and fanboyish post Ive ever seen. and your point is?

Yes, it can get canceled, and sooo?? It just gives us more of a reason to be angry.

People cant buy canceled, scrapped games. Gateway already has the product released in which people can buy, therefore you cant compare the two.
