The only problem with this is when the gateway came out they stated it had 5.something support

So many people updated or stayed on 5.something as their firmware thinking it would work

Anyone on 6.0 or higher has no reason to complain at all

No, they didn't say such a thing.
Yes they did

Look at the old threads they promised 5.1 support before launch and there were tons of pissed off people here when it happened

Some google examples

http://buygateway3ds.wordpress.com/...-will-be-compabitle-with-5-1-and-region-free/

The Gateway 3DS is currently designed to work with up to 5.1.0-11 firmware. The letter at the end is just the region (u, e, a, j, etc). This is not an official product, and it might be possible for Nintendo to attempt to block the functionality of the card with an update. There are no guarantees and no way to tell that the GateWay 3DS would be able to overcome that, so we do not sell the device claming that it will work with any firmware besides the one listed above.

I don't really care about the Gateway, therefore I find those complains annoying the most. I don't really get what functionality this card could have, other than piracy, and I understand even less why people are surprised that a company is doing its best to block this threat as much as possible.
Just wait, or accept the fact that not paying for others' hard work is shitty.


Then why complain if you don't even care about the card? You want to support the companies? Simple, buy the games and back them up.

I'm with Xexyz, that's not a real site there buddy. People should at least try to find REAL confirmation about the firmware situation.

No, they didn't say such a thing.

Yep, nothing's been officially confirmed either way regarding that

the said this

Currently it is not compatible with firmware above 4.5 but we are working on making it compatible as quickly as possible with 5.x and 6.x firmwares. It is most likely to happen in the weeks to come since we are now done with V1.0 of our product and can now fully concentrate on newer firmware and new functions.

so the stated that the are working on ful compatabilty from 4.0 to 6.1

Where may I ask, did you read that? I can't seem to find that on http://www.gateway-3ds.com :unsure:
Not doubting you just curious as to where you saw that... I heard it was 6.2, not 6.1 or 6.3.

ow my fault it was 6.2 sorry

anyway was the 2nd post from gateway (07/08/2013)


It's fine. I see the entry as well, that anything about 6.2.0 will likely never be compatible

"07/08/2013
Please find in our downloads section links to .zip which includes V1.0 manuals and files for Gateway 3DS.

Since the product is now released and soon in Nintendo's hands, anything above 6.2.0 will most likely never be compatible.

In any case: NEVER update, as we never know if we can make a fix for any update. Remove automatic updates by enabling parental control to prevent any accident.

We can't repeat it enough, do NOT update if you want to be able to enjoy the only solution for your 3DS: Gateway! You have been warned!"




In essence, nothing the team has said publicly since then nullifies that very statement, I don't see anything on their blog saying that they aren't trying their damnedest to get it to work.

I totally agree with OP here.

I heard about Gateway 3DS, was following its progress before it was released, and when it came out and they said it wouldn't work past 4.5, I went and bought a second 3DS so I could use it. My local Target had tons of them with 2012 on the box, it wasn't even remotely hard - unlike finding a 3.55 PS3 in today's day and age.

That way it's the best of both worlds, I can go online with my legit 3DS, as I buy lots of games from the eShop and have no risk of being banned from that.

Sure, it would be nice if Gateway worked on 6.x, but every time I see people complaining I want to say "You want it to work? YOU go find an exploit then!" because seriously, it's just getting old. If you're going to spend $80 on a flash cart just to play pirated games, you can spend another $180 on a 3DS XL (or even less if you don't want XL)

so the said it wil work onto 6.2 i hope the can make it


The problem is changes have to be made/tweaked and it's not something that's going to magically happen overnight; even something like this will likely take a long time.

I'd love to see where the team officially said that it can't or won't work with FW up to 6.2 because I just found proof that it does.

yeah i suppose youre right


question: they have to search for am new expoit right so thats taking them so long?

That I don't know, but to my understanding, the exploit they found works up till 6.2, but anything about that is out. With that said, there is still a lot of work that has to be done to get it to work and will likely take some time.

There is nothing on their page that says otherwise.

Or, you know, those of you that have 6.2 consoles can just sell your consoles on eBay, minus a very small fraction of the cost, and buy a console that's on 4.5.

I might go with Amazon instead since I don't have a Paypal account. :P Not comfortable getting one on eBay since I don't know if a new 4.5 console is actually "new".

LOL I'd actually prefer eBay. They take a smaller cut. Set up a Paypal, takes less than ten minutes, and you would need a bank account or debit card to attach to it.

Paypal takes takes a small fee from your bank account right? The only issue I can see is someone buying a 3DS from a sell who doesn't have a high rep and people tend to avoid them on eBay, right?

Well, at least it has protection so neither party gets screwed over.
