    Gaming Zelda Majora's Mask coming to 3DS Spring 2015

    I've never felt so excited for a release before. I was about to replay it on collector's edition because I was losing hope that a 3DS remake would come. Now I shall wait patiently.

    Hacking ANNOUNCING: GATEWAY 2.1 "OMEGA" PUBLIC RELEASE

    Fair play GW. Downloaded 2.1 no problem, installed no problem, playing backups no problem [yet]. Interesting to see what will happen with e-shop titles.

    Hacking ANNOUNCING: GATEWAY 2.0 “OMEGA” PRIVATE BETA

    Using a Mac, when I formatted SD to exFat -- of the 6 games I placed on MicroSD, only one loaded. The others loaded partially (white bar), then a window with "Fragment Error" appeared. Re-formatted to Fat, used the same backups and no issues.

    Hacking ANNOUNCING: GATEWAY 2.0 “OMEGA” PRIVATE BETA

    I'm excited! It's long overdue. However... "Even more to come!..." I wish they'd release 2.0 with MultiRom/Nand Save, THEN INCORPORATE THE REST INTO 2.0.1:cry:. Can't winge anymore though.

    Hacking Question gateway 3ds gamecard removed?

    Happened to me a few times. When I first got my Gateway, I put the SD card in, but almost immediately after booting I'd get that 'card removed' message. I then realised that the SD card was sitting dodgy and after pressing it in and removing it around 20 times - it's been ok with no problems...

    Hacking Where to get a firmware 4.5 or below 3DS XL?

    The serial is posted on the side of the box too. That eliminates the need to open it and turn on the 3DS etc. Ask for the serial number from the box and, if you're happy, ask to be sent that specific one. Ask if they do returns too. Some will say 'only if it is unopened'. In that case...

    Hacking Where to get a firmware 4.5 or below 3DS XL?

    Will edit my original post to explicitly ask other members to contact the seller beforehand. Sorry to hear about that. Are you able to send it back? Have you tried looking at Amazon? IIRC there was a link posted previously to a '2012 3DS'. Edit: Actually the Amazon link only mentions 'Release...

    Hacking Where to get a firmware 4.5 or below 3DS XL?

    Fell for this one? Does that mean you got a 3DS with a higher FW version? Sorry if you have. Did you check the Serial before opening? When I contacted them and asked if I could return it if the serial didn't match they said I could so long as I hadn't opened the box.

    Hacking 3DS Flashcarts - News, Updates, and Support Thread

    Within the next 48 Hours probably means 'Definitely not any sooner than 48 hours, and maybe a little while longer'. But hey, I'll welcome the update anytime! Sooner rather than later!

    Awful Music in Video Games

    There's a few BGMs on the NDS I hate -- I'm not sure of the game(s), but remember the frustration of repeating the level/battles then angrily turning down the volume on the DS. What I absolutely hate is Vocalised Sonic BGMs. Not that they're bad tracks, but such vocals in-game sounds...

    Hacking Poll: Is your 2.0b2 Gateway working, or bricked?

    Without looking around the forum, why is using the original SD Card a bad idea? [I've bought a new 3DS XL, and today is the first time I've turned it on - nothing currently on SD Card] I'm following iT0uchStuff's youtube video to how to set everything up. Just backed up NAND, copied it on to...

    I received my card from buygateway3ds.com (I promise I'm not advertising - just clarifying) yesterday. Order placed Saturday night. Shipped on Tuesday, arrived on Friday (needed signature: Royal Mail) Good luck!

    Hacking Gateway 3DS - Order From Teensy.co.uk

    Ha, you seem desperate to get your hands on Gateway. I was expecting mine from buy3dsgateway today, but it didn't arrive :sleep:. Drove pretty fast from work too, being over excited about it! I had an email confirming they had shipped it on Tuesday (Order placed on Saturday although my previous...

    Hardware What is this on the screen ?

    Paint? I recently re-painted my bedroom. My laptop charger was uncovered and it was sprayed with blue dots like yours as a result of using a paint roller.
