Hacking DSTWO+ vs Gateway 3ds

[liomajor]

DSTWO+ is a bad choice bcuz they don't have their own 3ds software.

If Nintendo updates you have to wait for gateway and under circumstandes for supercard before you can use it.

If gateway decides to stop, supercard dies as well.

Snes emulation is still bad/good as it was before and the card seems to have problems with 64GB+/exfat microSD cards (fat worked well).

1. GateWay still didn't updated to the latest version more then a year now, so even if nintendo will update something both GW and SCDS2 won't be affected, as they don't really work now.
2. I don't know about DSTWO+, but the homebrew SNES emulator has pretty good compatibility. also the slow-emulated snes games are now faster (AFAIK), so it's not right.
3. who cares if that's their software or not? this is piracy and it's OK to steel some1 else's software...
4. also I don't care which format to use for the microSD card- fat32, fat or extfat. I know that fat32 is the most standart format, and it works with 64GB SDs, and I haven't heard of some1 who formatted his 64GB card to it and it didn't work with DSTWO+...

The question is, why would you even buy a card when CfW does all of that for free?

1. sometimes nintendo update screws GW emunand (obviously for o3ds, because n3ds still stuck on 9.5), to be able to have latest emunand, gw user need to wait for launcher update. DS2+ uses gw launcher, their user have to wait for update from gw AND gw emulation plugin update from SCteam for the new launcher to work. (like now, they are still waiting for SC team to make GW launcher 3.5 and 3.5.1 to workon DS2+
3. the thing is GW has history of bricking clone user, which according to you it's an OK thing to do. so as long as SCteam makes their customer to use and run GW code on their system, there's a possibility of GW to be able to do that. they have done that before, why wouldn't they do that again? it's an ok thing to do.
it's fine if SCteam just steal the code, write their own launcher, there's no way GW brick code to enter DS2+ user system.

To me personally a flashcard looks easier.

its easier to just copy-paste a 3ds file to flashcart then to transfer it into CIA, then use some homebrews (FBI, BBM etc) to install it. also its easier to get the SD card out of a flash cart then to get the microSD from under the screwed bottom case for the N3DS

All except play. 3ds files and. Nds
I know you install cia files and I do. CFW is my primary autoboot but I use gateway for debugging and testing rom mods I make before finalising. But I just got a scds2+ and sold my scds2 and gateway.

DSTWO+ is a bad choice bcuz they don't have their own 3ds software.

would like to say sky3ds is better than these two, its the only one can support V10.3 directly, and no limit on consoles, can also play online with private headers

I own both sky3ds and GW3DS. Sky is complete crap compared gateway. DSTWO+ Is complete crap compared to gw3ds seeing as they have to steal other peoples work. You say sky3ds is the best? It's a over priced piece of garbage that can't play emulators, can't play the newest games, doesn't support cia games, and doesn't support emunand. So no, Sky3ds is not the better choice.

1. GW takes only a few days until emuNAND works again with latest version, supercard is affected if their plugin doesn't work with the new gw launcher.dat.
Check supercards forum, the update to their plugin is still not ready and there are a few problems.
2. DSTWO > DSTWO+, no change for snes emulation and still the same problems i had with a few roms.
3. You didn't get the point, piracy, sure who cares, but still supercard can't do anything without gw for 3ds. If there are major changes, sc might take months.
4. It's a known problem to some users and not the first time i did read that their card didn't work properly. FAT32 has limits (cluster etc.)

The price is about the same, gw/dstwo+, so why buying dstwo+ when it's less trouble to use gw in first place?

I have both, gw and dstwo+ and did a direct compare, but gw turns out to be still better even without extra cpu for emulations.

How do the DSTwo GBA/SNES emulators work? Do they actually run in 3DS mode or they're just running in DS mode like the previous DSTwo, except with a better on-board cpu?

DS mode so its ds resolution and not fullscreen. Personally like using the snes and gba for a o3ds system despite what people say about them.

 

[Varia]

Just a heads up - Supercard updated their GW plugin today to work with 3.5.1.
Anyone's taking the risk? XD
I wonder if the cheats support works too.

 

[BurningDesire]

Is the dstwo+ region free? I am thinking of getting one my self.

 

[NostalgicMillennial]

Gateway will brick your shit if you use imitators. Their passive aggressive update said so

 

[The Real Jdbye]

It's hard to say, because the DSTWO+ does pack more features into one cart even though I am disappointed in SC for blatantly cloning Gateway, although props to them for being the first manufacturer to outright admit it. My opinion of them was pretty high after the DSTWO (plus their pretty decent slot 2 offerings) and it was lowered a lot when they cloned the Gateway.
The DSTWO+ makes a great DS flashcart no doubt, much better than the Gateway blue card. The 3DS portion of it is inferior though since it supposedly doesn't work with Gateway's latest update and Gateway could continue to block it from working in each new update even if SC find a way around it.
The answer depends on what's more important: DS-mode or 3DS-mode. If DS-mode then DSTWO+, if 3DS-mode then Gateway, if both are equally important then buy both.
I said Gateway in the poll though, because they are the only reason the DSTWO+ exists and if a lot of people stopped supporting Gateway in favor of DSTWO+ then Gateway would have no incentive to continue providing updates for the cart and that would mean no more updates for DSTWO+ either.

is there anywhere AP patched LOZ tri force heroes which should work on sky3ds?

I'm not sure why that guy said that. Sky3DS can only run unpatched unmodified 1:1 ROMs and the Sky cart isn't updatable so the AP patch is useless to you. In fact Gateway already has the AP patch built in and CFW users don't need it so it's useless to pretty much everyone.

sky isnt the best, but it runs 90%+ of 3ds roms so...
yea lack of emunand sucks
but you actually can run emulators using ninjhax with cubic ninja installed on the sky- thats what I do

Well as for me I like simplicity, and all in one. I like having a all in one machine, for everything not only 3ds. That being said I like when I don't have to change cartridges for anything. That's why I ripped all my Carts and converted them to cia. CFW installed so I don't have to switch out anything. And with my gateway I had to switch out to play with my ds2. So I got the ds2+ no switching for anything.

Because you have to modify your sysnand in order to use CFW, before you can make any CLEAN sysnand backup. That is why i and others will not risk messing up their system by installing CFW.

man IDK what R ya talking about- modifying sysnand to backup it? first time I hear that thing... AFAIK with Gw you just enter some kind of menu which back-ups your sysnand automatically... W/O changing it

try to reach gateway menu on N3DS with using one single gateway or supercard dstwo plus card. good luck.
