Have you tried Wan Chai 188? That's where I got all my flashcard/modding stuff when I was living in Hong Kong
I couldn't find any in most well known games malls. Few sellers on yahoo auctions have sky3ds and gateway, but they sell them around HKD700-800... Videogames shops are slowly dying here, no one play them anymore especially on handled consoles, thanks to smartphones... So my guess is they are trying to not kill themselves by selling these cards (the customs police also made a pretty good job in recent years, I haven't seen copied games/movies/av dvd resellers for years).
I've got my cards from there though they are HK based online shop and ship from China (1 day delivery). They say they accept paypal, but I've paid directly by bank transfer. Contact one of the sales skype on the frontpage, they have been very responsive and helpful with me. The website looks horrible but who cares.
go to wanchai computer center, and on the first floor look for a small shop, really small like 3x4 meters at best, that looks like a console repair shop. Owner name is Jimmy. He has all flashcarts usually and knows what he is talking about.
Actually with the customs enforcing the laws LOCALLY (and only locally - cross borders? well...) in an extreme strict sense,
the shops will NOT put up any of the products that might deem illegal.
The custom here is not able to distinguish 'products that enable homebrew' or 'products that enable for pirating'.
Although they might have stocks, they might or might not sell you the products right away - because they afraid of undercover.
Hitting a Gatway will be probably by luck - you can try Wanchai 188, Mongkok Sino Center, Mongkok Ho King and Samshuipo Golden Arcade.
For most of the Hong Kong people - if we want Gateway... actually we ordered directly from Mainland China.
Why? The price is low. ~US$50 for Gateway. ~US$60 for Sky 3DS - things get delivered to Hong Kong in 2 days...
Wanchai 188, Mongkok Sino Center, Mongkok Ho King and Samshuipo Golden Arcade
If you wish, you can walk in an exporting store called DirectbuyHK - they sell things much cheaper ...
It is near by the Sham Shui Po Golden ARcade
Man do you speak Chinese?
Try taobao next time if you are staying in Hong Kong.

I live there, but I don't speak/read chinese.. I know taobao and ordered my GW there of course, but I provided a solution for OP assuming he doesn't speak the language.
Mongkok, "Sin Tat". Shops there sell imported cameras (usually latest models) at lower price than HK official goods. But the warranty is for Japan only. (I'm not sure if many HK bought camera have international warranty anyway)
Well... actually if you are going to buy imported cameras at Hong Kong, you are likely to buy imported cameras from Japan...
if you are based in Japan, I do not see any advantages over it.
In addition, prices for both DSLR and consumer DCs are both set much higher than US and Japan - thus there are potential price differences for importing stuff and resale them here in HK.
But if you insist, Mongkok Star City might be a good start - and you can check www.price.com.hk
Key in the DSLR/DC you want to find in the top search box;
Look for prices come with blue label (水) - they are imported goods usually from Japan;
Prices come with gold label (行) are products to be sold in HK.

i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling

@The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.

@Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero
