Agreed. I'm tired of the "Jailbreak" term being used for Ps3, Xbox, Wii and Android discussions. Even with a CFW it wouldn't allow free E-Shop content, some serious hax would be required.

Of course you are not the only one. It is OBVIOUS to anyone with a brain that neimod/yellow8 sold the exploit to gateway. Those antipiracy bullshit were just a smokescreen, an attempt to sound ethical to the public and to avoid lawsuits.
Serious accusation there dude.
And also do we get sued for being able to hack some device we own?
For me it is fishy and I will wait till they actually do update to handle current firmware. Little false logic about getting only 4.5 fw update and claiming about possibility to update from game that have included fw update. I do not know one thing... So games that have for example included 5.X update would be useless for now... Another question about dumping card... Are we able to trim out "update" from games that have newer update version "packed"?
On Gateway there is always something strange... First showing working one on 5.X after that silence... Nintendo update... lots of silence... Then we're working - it will be 1-2 weeks etc... now that it runs on 4.5 and will have another DS card to prepare... so wtf?
It is not for me... 1. Very fishy and without SDK and homebrew for 3DS.

I always knew a flashcart using neimod's/yello8 exploits would appear soon, the moment they announced them. The way the said "we don't want to promote piracy" was telling.
Let us be honest for once. There is absolutely no one who cares about "homebrew". If you need "homebrew" on a portable device, you get them on your android phone, which is by the way far more powerful...
I don't accuse them for making money out of their work. I am a software developer myself and I support them in this. I just hate their hypocrisy...
You could not be more wrong there, there are actually many communities that exist solely to discuss homebrew. Even though you mention getting a mobile device for it, some people also like the "retro feel" as well.
I have to disagree with you there. I'm not saying money isn't nice (that's why some pages have donate buttons) but not everybody wants to sell stuff.
Without homebrew support most devices would be dead few years too early and face it man who doesn't want added functionality to your device. And let me tell you this, even if you have used homebrews (counting apps for android or iOS) in one of your devices, then you know that what difference it makes form the stock device. SO there are a lot of people who are waiting for the ability to max out their devices.
Also not all homebrew are completely polished and friendly softwares. You write something for your own need and if it helps others as well doesn't mean you charge them. I don't think anyone would wanna pay for software they face real difficulty in using unless the benefits in using. Also having to pay for custom firmware would really suck.
Agreed money and money, but since Nintendo last sue to R4i resellers from japan... I am sure that Nintendo will not be easy deal for Gateway... even if they release flash card working on 4.5 fw...

Thank you for shopping at XXXXXXXXXXX, have a nice day
haha alright I'll take your word for it.
But let's say I have a Fire Emblem Awakening save file from the physical copy of the game on my 3DS.
If I were to load up the game through the Gateway3DS, would it bring up the save file I already have?
I don't want it to overwrite my current save file
..And let's say I have a digital version of Animal Crossing New Leaf and Mario Kart 7, and thus digital game save files.
If I inserted the Gateway3DS's copy of the games, will it affect those save files in any way?

I don't think anyone knows that right now except the Gateway people.

Honestly, although being one of the less technical people here, I'd recommend not messing with those situations until GW3DS confirms that their saving system works. If there was talk of save file corruption, I'd not even mix playing legal copies with roms.
Yeah I suggest to wait better until reviews are out because NO ONE knows how this device functions / will function in the future & so on other than gateway themselves of course.
I would consider purchasing gateway if I had a 3DS Xl. My sister gave me her 3DS but sadly it's too small for my gigantic hands and it's on the 5.1 firmware. Guess I'll have to wait.
As there really are very few games I really want to play at the current time (games that I don't own), I'll just wait. Sure Nintendo titles will be as expensive now compared to a year or so, but third party titles are pennies in a year after launch. If the flashcart restricts my usage of the console for 80$, I'll pass. Buying 3DS games for 10$ isn't hard (to find), so I'll stick to that. Sure a multigame cart would be convenient (DSTwo yay), but as the Gateway 3DS is nowhere near this, I'll just stick to my console and carts.

I don't like the fact that they are using a flashcart to make a profit, a free solution should be available to make the console region free and used for homebrew, that is what everyone else wants, but it's always about greed and how much money they can make.
flashcarts in this day and age are completely useless because all current handhelds and consoles have firmware updates & always online, it's always going to be a obstacle.
I feel sorry for most people here because when the flashcart is abandoned and they can no longer support it (because nintendo locks it out permanently) everyone is going to be left with a useless paperweight, I've seen it happen before and it can happen again, it will be the case of the 3.55 ps3 fiasco where 3ds handhelds under 4.5 will be worth a lot of money and you have edge to blame for that, anyways I've said my part, good luck to edge users and for your sake they keep supporting your investment.

Or, I also heard that if you use flash memory, it can act as more "RAM" at least windows tell me when I stick a flash drive into it. -
