Well theres no doubt the video might be staged and that the exploit at that point was in early stages and unstable, but that wasnt the point of the video - the point was to show that they have a working solution for the N3DS. SonyUSA said that she/he didnt have emuNAND with the beta she/he received. The new emuNAND on the N3DS is 3 gb compared to the 1 gb on the classic 3DS, so it requires extra work as it may seem. But all in all its in their interest to release the update as soon as possible because theyre effectively loosing money every day they prolong since Sky and its clones have entered the market.
The Nintendo 3DS has a 1GB NAND Flash chip. Due to the NCSD header, the actual used size of the Old3DS NAND is 0x3AF00000-bytes(943MiB). On New3DS, the actual NAND size and the total size used by the partitions, is 0x4D800000-bytes(1240MiB).

Actually, it's not that big.

I'm gonna dabble a bit into conspiracy. Why I think they fell behind is that they encountered brick issues or sth with the ambassador n3ds consoles. That was the only last minute thing that could have broke the update so late.

*Tin foil hat off*
Anyone else want it?

My theory is that GW has simply run off with our money. That's why I actually prefer it if GW charges money for each and every software update. That way, they actually have a reason to keep releasing things and promptly.

Man have they raised your salary or what? you're starting to go all out again, it looks like Skytemp is around the corner, at this rate you are going to buy the forum and become a modnazi with an iron hand before Gw release the damn update.
I can picture you limiting the search results to only sky stuff related crap.

Yes I do. I think lots of people got scammed by GW. Don't worry we're not alone! :)

I admit I did report a lot of the SD card discussion posts. I wanted to steer the discussion back to GW hating, since there's nothing to do due to GW's silence

He is either a sky3ds worker or a Bond villain, because of his madness and delusions mixed with some normal post once in a while in order to confuse people even more. But I have to admit I'm taking a liking to him, due to my increasing hatred to gateway :lol:

He must be pretty good at survival Horror games because he is prepared to survive everything, I was banned from the original thread and he was still there. I bet he can beat resident evil using only one green plant and the knife under 2 hours.

Ahh the original thread... That was our history man... It was our legacy to next generations. I wish they didn't have to delete it...

That's not Resident Evil, that's sonic :P
He can, don't forget he is the most persistent man alive, he never falters, he is the ultimate opportunist whenever a small chance appear to criticize Gw he is the first in line, the zombies will ignore him and the snake will be caught on a glitch or something.

At this point I'm treating the N3DS update as vaporware until I see more evidence of it actually being a work in progress. So far nobody's even found a proper entry vector in the new browser, I have no idea how GW orchestrated that N3DS video they released a while back. Smoke and mirrors - first they show it working and then they delay the release by months, and for what? Optimization? I doubt it.

Hey how did you get a colored thingamajig? I want one!

Anyway, the exploit is real, they just don't have a US N3DS console to find the patch locations in the firmware, so a delay up to the 2-week closing gap is understandable. What would not be understandable is if they still didn't have the exploit out a day -after- the N3DS US launch. Surely they can get a console ahead of time from -some- supplier to analyze the firmware and get it ready/release it.

I still don't understand why they need a USA N3DS. They can release it for the existing consoles, include a warning in the update that the release is only for JAP/EU consoles and start working on US Fw right away when they grab one. Or am I missing something?

The truth has been spoken! Theres literally no post where GW gets bashed that Tommy didnt like. Someone should make a tease post about GW just to see if he would like it :rofl: Jokes aside, all in all I think hes a good person even though his extreme ways.

Pardon my ignorance but isnt there the US ambassador edition?
