i saw one at the local pawn shop and i'm thinking about jumping on the bandwagon. it's 80 bucks but my hands are really big. so i'm not sure if it's a wise idea. and i'm use to the old 3ds set up so any advice can anyone give me would be great.
If your going to buy it I would pony up the extra 20 bucks and buy a new one for $100 that some snot nose kid hasn't gotten his sticky fingers all over.
CONS.
- Unusable Flash Carts (I think it can't use Gateway, IDK about Sky3DS though)
The Gateway is compatible from version 3.01
Yes, well.. I uh read somewhere that the new Gateway Ultra (version 3o or something) won't work on 2DS because the 2DS was developed on a firmware 6 more or less. Downgrading the 2DS into firmware 4 will make it unusable or it will just not work. I could be wrong though, because if I'm wrong.. oh boy, I sure hope I'm wrong and I'll definitely buy a Gateway.

You are partially wrong. Downgrading on 2DS isn't possible, and will never be possible, but Gateway doesn't need 4.x firmware. That said, 2DS support is kinda spotty, and there have been reports of it not being very reliable.
You're KIND of wrong. There are two exploits in the wild for the 3DS right now: a DS profile exploit and a web browser exploit. The DS exploit works only on versions 4.x, but is more reliable and works without an internet connection, while the web exploit works on every version from 4.x to 9.0.2, but requires an internet connection. Obviously both have their pros, and the DS profile exploit will never be usable on the 2DS due to it being built with FW version 6.x in mind. (The web exploit works like a charm, though, and there are some handy Android apps to trigger the launch with a fake Nintendo Zone)
'd again!
Errr does this mean with my 2DS I can use Gateway or something like that and play games I've always wanted to or I'll have to wait for something that will really work on any 2DS / 3DS platform? I will definitely get a Gateway if I can be taught how to do it or how to setup Gateway for the 2DS.
