Okay, will they ever patch it?
I personnaly think they will block it the next update.who knows, but not in the near future
frankly i think that if they could find a way to patch it (or even really detect it, they would've done so already.
gateway never was a real danger, they don't do anything really to get it working on latest fw, not even at start. they released a card already outdated the day it appeared on the marked, they did again far fw 9.0 and again for n3ds. so they never were a danger. sky3ds on the other hand had realtime solution for thier costumer, what's more, gateway could be used semi legal for emulation... this doesn't apply to sky3ds. so it makes no sence to say main focus is on gw, gw was allready patched, there's no way gw wins the race on nintendo, for they don't try. they just sell outdated cards and software for max. prices, where sky3ds is a realtime danger and still has the chance to conquer all if they could get custom rom to work (not anywhere in the near future i think though).
I doubt sky3ds will ever get blocked since it hardware emulating a true legit game..but who knows..
For Nintendo, ROM+eShop+Cheat+Homebrew is worst than ROM+eShop.
who said that it needs to be excact to be legit? maybe nintendo never was that specific about speed to the manufacturers, so maybe studio100 has a different speed as sega would have? that would mean it would be quite hard to say whe it's sky3ds whithout getting problems with other contractors.
I personnaly think they will block it the next update.
Nintendo made Sky 3ds tbh so I'm not suprised they ain't blocked it yet ¬_¬
