Hacking 3DS Flashcarts - News, Updates, and Support Thread

[Runehasa]

After 3 days....same beta tester have had this mysterious FW 2.0?

I was told I was going to be a beta tester and I do not have the firmware. Dont worry its only "Days" away. (How many days in a decade?)

Is it safe to update emunand?

Yes it was confirmed in another thread. Worked for me. Of course, you need to update in the correct way as per Gateway's original emunand updating instructions.

Negatory! Both leap years are accounted for! >:[

I'd rather have no news from Gateway than "Oh hey, you gotta buy another flashcart for it to work well."

Days could mean literally any amount.

Hey guys, my gateway blue card is shagged and my Gateway 3DS reseller doesn't want to know about it. Instead of pursuing that avenue, I mangaged to pick up an R4i SDHC 2014 white card for dirt cheap in Thailand. Can I use this to install the gateway exploit? (I'm removing 2.0b2 from my system) Thanks!

Yes. The exploit can be installed using any DS mode flash cart.

GW team has once again taken the piss ....

2.0 release and clones

01/11/2013
Our work is close to completion, but as our users know, we care very much about quality and we won't release our new firmware before it has been tested in depth and approved by our beta-testing team....................etc etc(from web site GW)

you do realize there has been at least 5 status updates since this was posted on their site (The last one was 6 days ago )

 

[Etheboss]

Yeah, he does, he just likes to complain about Gateway breaking their promises

 

[Bimmel]

Don't know how you all see the situation right now, but I don't even want to complain about Gateway anymore..

..I'm just tired of all that stuff. We should rest and take a nice long nap 'til the update comes.

Play some games, there are lots of good one out there! 3DS or any other console and then check back in a couple weeks to months who knows! It's not like the Gateway doesn't play any games at all People need to enjoy what they have it'll update when it does.

So, to get it straight, Gateway are holding closed internal/external betas, of something that is currently in beta?
Makes sense...

Regarding the shipping time and so on; I got my GW cards in matter of days. I live in Europe.
I followed the GW site and found that one retailer from Norway was set up with them.
So it was fast and painless for me to get it

Also, since it's not on the main page anywhere (from what I found), Nintendo issued a new update for the 3DS while it was closed...
Should I update? Is that even safe?

Only update within the System Menu of Emunand. Make really, really sure that that's where you are. AFAIK, all current updates can be installed through there with no issues.

 

[J. Sinclair]

right, so I boot into Gateway mode, and go into system settings and update from there.
That is it. Correct?
It's like a ton of info about what to do and nothing feels safe anymore.
"Do a clean install." Don't format" "Format" and so on..
But I guess that is only to blame on the infancy of the 3DS hack scene :/
Thank you for the helpfulness

Yeah, but make sure you've followed the steps to setting up and running Emunand before doing this, don't just enter Gateway mode without setting up Emunand and try updating, you'll update your console.

I hope you're not planning on using 2.0B2, because the outcome of using that is potentially much worse than accidentally updating your system. If you plan on only playing newer games, and you don't care about the EShop and such, don't even worry about setting up Emunand and just run 2.0B1 without holding L. Sure it may crash occasionally when booting into Gateway mode, but it's better than having a paper weight.
