Hacking Gateway 3DS - First 3DS flash card?!

manaphy4ever · Jun 3, 2013

i should wait for a better flashcart than this 1 micro per game and must be the same size XD hope next flash cart can play with only one micro sd 64 gb or 32 with saves like other ds flashcart

Devin · Jun 3, 2013

We shouldn't have a bunch of threads trickling out information from the huge thread. One of the mods needs to sum everything we know thus far, and edit the first post to reflect that information.

Even if it's only 1:1, which has been proven to be, in theory, fixable, how does one copy a legit copy of a game into a MicroSD? Or you can only dump ROMs?

I mean, imagine if you could just go to a rental and take all the shit you can find and copy it for cheap. How would they even begin to suspect?

Rental-copy idea is GENIUS imo

I say wait for it to NOT be 1:1 and hopefully add a gui and DS compatibility.
Only then will it be perfect.

^ Agreed, we really don't need to discuss piracy or console brick in here. It became confusing to see any new info about the cart on that mess.

Nope sadly.
It plays European games in the video (Luigi's Mansion 2 and not Dark Moon),
and a white XL has been released in Europe.

^We have a 36 page thread on the bricking nonsense, let's not go through that again.

Its probably for the future "poketards", complaining about how Pokemon X and Y do not work on their DS Lites with their Acekard 2i's and DSTWOs. Anyways, it is pretty useful, as there have not been any wars here about the bricking (so far...).

how_do_i_do_that · Jun 3, 2013

That is because the bickering was over things that are way over the average "poketard" understanding of a flashcart.

The things that the future "poketard" is going to be concerned with are likely:
Will this allow me to play online with others?
Will this work with a rom of Pokemon [insert latest version name here]?
Can I migrate my pokemon from Pokemon [whatever previous release] to Pokemon [insert latest version name here] with this flashcart?
Does this support the IR transfer?
Why do I get 2 blank screens?
Why does my game freeze every so often?
etc.
etc.

Where is that picture that had someone screaming 'PAAAAAAAAATCH!' while holding a Pokéball and R4 flashcard?

guys, spoke to the team today, there going to be releasing a FAQ in the few days

Devin · Jun 3, 2013

Alright kidos. Email was sent out. Listen up.

Here is a litte FAQ about Gateway 3DS, answering customers' most popular
questions.

- Is it one microSD per game?

Currently yes.

- Must the microSD card size match the game size?

No, so long as the microSD card is larger than the rom size.

- Can it play games from other regions?

Currently no, however due to popular demand, we have launched an investigation into this possibility.

- Can it play Homebrew?

No.

- Are saved games working? Once you take out the game is the save file kept or lost?

We are currently working to fully support back up and restore of save data.

- Can Nintendo block Gateway with an update?

Anything is possible we would rather not speculate (As always, any updates should be avoided)

- How big are the games and what is the minimum size for the microSD card?

Some range from 256MB to 4GB

- Can you play multiplayer local and mostly online?

Yes, but we advise not to use online features

- Do the game keep internet capacity?

Yes, but we advise not to use online features

- Is it upgradable?

Yes some aspects of the design will be upgradable.

- Can it run normal DS roms?

No, there are many alternative options for this.

- Suggested Retail price?

About $80/€65

- Availability: End of June. BUT until production has started, we are not accepting any pre-payment, therefore end-users should NOT pay until we indicate on our site that pre orders are officially open and payments from resellers are being accepted. PLEASE DO NOT PRE-PAY UNTIL WE SAY SO !

lol what are the chances after i emailed them today about releasing something like that LOL

Unagi · Jun 3, 2013

Nice job Devin!

Devin · Jun 3, 2013

I'd buy one for $80. Twice the price of a SCDSTWO isn't bad at all.
