How do you know this?

If I am in the 4.3 firmware and I launch a backup with the 4.5 update, what will happen?

How about spending all the money you have saved being a dirty pirate and buying a secondary device, just for lame ass pokemon, and you wont have to keep it under your pillow at night in a lead lined pillowcase to protect it from updating either....


wait....................................................................................................... shaking my head !

It will keep asking you to update your 3DS every time you run it until you do, otherwise you can't play that game.
Yes but. Can I update my 3DS from 4.3 to 4.5 with a backup on my Gateway 3DS? That's my only question, and I still got no answer.

why not just update with a retail game if your worried about bricking

you can always test it when you get yours tho
I just don't want to get my 3DS bricked and I got no retail game with this update.

Anyway I just sent a message to the GW3DS team and I am waiting for them to answer me.

I just ordered a 4.5 xl. hopefully this will lead to region unlocking and homebrew. If not i will sell it to someone who want to use a gateway 3ds :yaynds:

  • Games run smoothly. Can't see any graphical hindrances or slowdowns. More testing is needed.
  • So far I've tried LoZ, NSMB2, and PMSS.
  • Saves are in .sav format. I've tried to change out the save with one from a R4i Save Dongle. Says the save data is corrupt.
  • Even though it was guaranteed not to work I tried a European rom, which didn't show up in the 3DS' menu.
That is all.
Wait so is it 1 game per SD card? And your save file never saves?

Your save gets transfered to sd card, and yes its 1 game at a time on microsd, you have to use win32 disk imager or similar to write image to microsd.

but,,,some games save on the cartridge it self ( most )
so..its more normally the save file will be on the microSD card that inside the Gateway

Saves are in .sav format. I've tried to change out the save with one from a R4i Save Dongle. Says the save data is corrupt.
i guess every game have different id , soo, taking save file from another user will be useless

Emailed GW team asking for info on when cards should hit retailers. Waiting on a response. inb4 "within a few weeks".
They said they were sending the retailers' cards soon after they send the reviewers'. I estimate "within a few weeks."

But in all seriousness, if they haven't shipped them yet, I'm guessing they will within a week.
