Hacking DSTWO PLUS will be released in October

[MrMandraque]

We must not forget that the gateway uses a software hack obfuscated with hardware ... so that's normal.
I think the plugin gateway system is a simple jute temporary folder in ram ...
Obviously we should expect a hardware AND software hack.

I'm not sure about the longevity of this cart. Gateway will go out of business Soon™ because of CFW and without Gateway the DSTwo+ basically is just the standard DStwo.

 

[RikuKawai]

I want to believe they're offering something new since I'm interested in this flashcart as well, but it's best not to get your hopes up imo. What would Gateway be getting out of a partnership except potentially lost sales?

I'm pretty sure you share profit in a corporate partnership...

Yes but what's more likely, that Gateway is looking to share their property with another group looking to make a profit, or that SuperCard simply has no shame and is ripping them off? You have to consider the country we're talking about here..

I'm not sure me too, but if it can "emulate" a gateway, it means that the flash and FPGA / CPLD is "hackable" (custom payload, whatever ...) so it can emulate other hardware ...
DSTWO had a dual flash and DSTwo quadflash...
Supercard team had many update... don't forget the DSTwo was not manufactured for 3DS system but it's compatible...

Can somebody sell me a 3DS XL or 2DS with firmware 9.2?

Ebay

 

[03bgood]

Ebay

Can somebody send me a link to an eBay auction that says it's at FW 9.2? I don't mind if its a 3DS XL or a 2DS.

If this doesn't drain the 3DS battery like the old DSTWO did, I'll consider to buy this just for play DS games alone.

 

[MrMandraque]

DSTwo plus have an additionnal CPU and RAM like the DSTwo... this will drain battery of course. It's not magic, it's Electronic. Ohm's law!

 

[Alberto2345]

Not if they've implemented it right. Perhaps the old stuff they were using wasn't power efficient.
But I guess we won't know for sure until its released.

Do you think that the older models was badly made?

 

[Shadow#1]

It will be a even more of a battery hog because of the added hardware

That's not sure. If they made it power efficient, it can be more powerful but less battery consuming than the original model.

Consuming battery is actually a software issue on the side of the 3DS. The handheld constantly polls the cart to make sure it's a) legit b) still inserted and c) check its name. a and c put load on the DSTWO CPU because it has to pretend to be a legit copy of Alex Rider: Stormbreaker. This isn't an issue on a normal DS because it lacks these new AP measures, and the DSTWO can just show up as a DSTWO.

I never said the opposite ; but even if the 3DS "forces" the internal CPU to be used, it does not prevent them from making it more efficient.
And actually, (serious question) can't they make the card detect if it is used or not, and therefore disable the CPU when it's not in use? Since the basic DS flashcards don't have any CPU and still work...

But to the cart, that counts as being in use. If it ignored those requests from the 3DS then the 3DS would not see the cart plugged in which would be a problem.
The way the DSTWO emulates a real cart is a bit different from how the carts without a CPU do it, which is why they have never needed to release a new hardware revision, and is how it can bypass every AP measure in games without patching out the check (using Clean Mode). It doesn't NEED an onboard CPU to work on the 3DS, but that's the way the hardware was designed, it's too late to change that now. It's far more future proof than what other flashcarts did anyway, just look at the R4i Gold's many hardware revisions.
The solution is to simply not leave the 3DS on the home menu when not in use.

Or remove the DSTWO because Streetpass

I wonder if our staff contacts can get a review copy of this bad boy. SuperCard has always been a rock solid cart solution, whether it be the DSOne/ DSTwo or any of the others they have produced.

That said, I will believe it when I see it. This was announced (at least to the staff) like back last winter. Since then we have heard thing about it.

Wondering the same...
