I definitely think it's possible Gateway flashcarts are causing bricks.

I don´t have any problem to send them but i prefer to repair for myself or wait for others results,
Hmmmm.
If you send your 3DS with a GBATemp logo, and your GBATemp username ASAP, they'll fix it for you even if you bricked it with a r4i.
They'll fix it just to try to win the PR war.

Hmmm ... wait ... maybe they won't ... because it would be like admitting that their product was the problem .... so if you did brick it with a r4i ... don't send it.

it can be an expensive shipping from Spain
Not really.

So you have a personal problem with me? Just fuck off

Lol chill, I'm sure you're a fine dude but you're basically a gateway cheerleader and you spread a lot of bullshit regarding other flash cards. That helps virtually no one but Gateway.

Not really.

Yes it is and you're in Canada, how would you even know?
Source: I worked in Spain for a few months and had to ship stuff frequently.

Guys dont flame please from both sides. Look we dont have the same card is that a reason to troll/flame? Lets try to be helpful for Kirillov. Keep this thread clean and help him or dont reply at all.

Personally I would wait to ship to gw. Let other people try it firstXD I dont have enough trust to send my console with no insurance whatsoever. But if you want to take the shot go for it. But then I would want the shipping cost covered by GW in the least.

That escalated quickly... Damn people got mad all over the place here... Let me get it straight:

  • Gateway team made a new firmware, they injected some malicious code in it to get the competition away
  • This move made competitors consoles brick all over the place but...
  • Also got their own costumers..?
Did I get it right? lol Gateway is a very bad company when it comes to marketing. That move they made with 'repairing' consoles for free. I'd love to see them doing that for 'free'.
Op, don't be stupid and DON'T SEND IT. You'll get a $100 bill(how the FUCK is that even legal...?!) for sure. Yeah repaired console blah blah. Screw that, get a new 3DS and don't pirate for instance.(Easier said then done, but trust me you'll enjoy your games way more.)
People should stop bashing everyone,(this isn't a metal concert ey?) I'd like to have more details before I can say anything else.(I am certain of the $100 bill, it's a filthy trick they use here...)

The reason I have been supporting Gateway and been spreading antipropaganda against R4i is quite obvious, but still this is completely unrelated to this thread and pointing that out here makes you look like if you had a personal problem with me.

...When he doesn't even own one. :glare:

I own the GW card, you own both, yet you are mostly trolling here; so your point is a bit invalid, don't you think so?

Pretty much. I seriously don't mind them wanting to get rid of the people just taking their firmware and claiming it as their own, but for fucks sake, don't screw over the consumers in the process, let alone the consumers that actually supported GW from the start, and didn't settle for a clonecard, like myself.

Gambia, The
LIke clone cards have a "brick me" register.
Just write something to it and the card will brick....

"register? what that? can it play porkemon on 7.1 plz?"

or "sure. i've seen this brick code profi200 posted. instead of brick() they just should have done brick_card()"

but "hurr durr mode" aside:

they might have taken less drastic measures (like f-ing with savegames or the launcher.dat file itself ("how come i have to copy launcher.dat back after every reboot?")) or make the brick 100% (granted, r4i might have released then anyway).

It's entirely related to your post... Remember, you asked to stop the conspiracy mindset but meanwhile you are the typical gbatemp user one would think works for Gateway;

- You're a very new user after the gateway was released.
- Tons of posts promoting gateway.
- Tons of posts circle jerking gateway.
- Tons of bullshit propaganda posts against clones.
- And you're a consistent gateway apologist.

Now I'm not saying you work for Gateway but you can't expect us to take you seriously. Even this post basically admits that you're incredibly biased.

If you want to continue this dialogue, PM me.

I honestly hope the community find a way to bypass such malicious code from the GW team.
It sure wasn't a nice thing before striking buyers of the official product, but now I don't see how people can trust the company again.
I certainly won't.

On a side note, this fanboyism about flashcart companies is ridiculous, people. There's no reason to act like kids.

Man, just fuck off, I'm not interested in having a dialogue with a person like you; this is entirely a personal attack.
