Pong,
you might want to take out the part of it not working, because I'm sure many newbies will read that part and instantly comment "lol gateway is better, waste of money clone xD".
Or just put the edit in bold above the part where you mentioned it.
So he should cater his post to dumbasses who will come to irrational conclusions based on something that happens from time to time in the flashcart scene? Yeah, I disagree with that, lol. Let the dumbasses be dumbasses and the people who know better come to more logical conclusions.

Yep, but you can't play all games and some of them need to be trimmed.is it possible to play 3ds games with a 2Gb card?
Not "cater his post", just make it more obvious he received a dud cart. The point of his review was to help people decide on which card to buy, and it won't fullfill it's purpose if people don't know all of the information.
There was a post in this thread, stating that "Gateway team paid Pong to write this." Obviously, this person had not read the entire OP and just decided to reply when he saw that the card didn't work.
i cater to myself and my views
i feel that when i review something im fully honest with my experience and feelings
some reviewers cater to sites because they "work" for the site, or write golden reviews purely to get sent more things to review
in my honest opinion of the R4i Gold 3DS Deluxe, its a nice, well built solid card, nothing visually wrong with it.
but things happen and you get problem units (how many people have even moaned about the 3DS and duff hinges, screens)
but like everyone else, the company is happy to replace (which shows very good support to there products)
and once i receive a functioning as intended item i will continue with the review/comparison

I guess you are referring to my post here: http://gbatemp.net/threads/comparing-gateway-vs-r4i-gold-3ds-deluxe.357263/page-2#post-4822228
To which I have to say this to you:
Learn to open a spoiler tag, you dumbass! The irony of your post about me not reading Pong's posts entirely and jumping into conclusions!
lol i wasnt referring to anyone here

Gateway have some serious competition here in my eyes, and it will fall down to who provides what features and the fastest

wel gateway has to be quicker and if the make an announcement the must have there software ready to be upload within a few days not within a month also gooing on a rampage mode towards the other flashcards makers wont help the one which offers the best and cheapest cards wins the game
but gateway is innovative the created a GUI and found the exploit
my thought is: if there is a "crack"in 5.xx and 6.xx is and the one who find it will be the "supreme ruler"of the 3ds flashcart world
Hopefully it's actually competition and the cards get independent feature sets/updates, pushing the other teams to do better/add more stuff & not Gateway does X, other teams crack and copy. That won't be good for any of the cards .

My thoughts exactly. Maybe we should merge this with whatever Devin posts, since he has his and I'm sure he's going to make a review for it.This whole thread shouldn't have been posted in the first place IMO. It's premature, and inconclusive. We have the giant elephant in the room of whether the R4i Gold can stand its own against the Gateway, and then we read that the cart was a dud. Essentially, this entire guide just became a comparison of two R4i styled chips. While I see that Pong######## was trying to help out of the interests of the site, the overall objective failed as the major topic of discussion couldn't be held. But this name calling thing? That's a bit much.

Yeah, but Pong isn't resident staff. He's not informed on review/news etiquette. He did it for information's sake, and since many people have been talking about build quality and the like in other threads, at least some of it was informative.I was told that the reasoning behind posting it was because it was written as he went along, but that's not exactly a valid excuse as you still have to submit the post and everything, if you get my drift. If it goes to the end and it suddenly turns out you have a dud, why not save as a draft and resume when you get the working chip? It doesn't make any sense.

i would actually disagree with you there, i feel a review as it goes shows the true user experience over waiting and writing about it
not only can he post about his experience with the dud card(which shows QC issues), he can also post his experience with dealing with the company and their return procedure, whether he gets ripped off or not, ect.
