Hacking After Some Time, Came Back to 3DS Flashcard Discussions...

... and found out my 3DS is on 8.1. Hey! Just like my Windows! lol
But seriously, I see that Gateway will support less than 9.3 eventually, starting with 9.2.
I wonder when they'll support 8.1... I was playing Pokémon Emerald on my GCW Zero, and I was thinking about buying ORAS, but I like to edit my saves. OFTEN.
Hell, the Gateway will bring back life to the 3DS, after noticing developer's tools.

8.1 support is going to be included with the 9.2 update. They plan to release with support for 7.0-9.2

Soon, Any day now, Most likely before 2015, take your pick. Supposedely they already will support 7.0 out of the box.

It's not going to be the same update, they will release support for older versions gradually.

From their site

We have currently implemented support for firmware versions 7.0 until 9.2 and adding support for lower versions every day.

So the first version should include 7.0 support.

I dunno .. Seems pretty clear to me that they will.

[StarPlatinum]

Yea, from what they wrote seems more reasonable that they will include more firmware version on release, not less.

8.1 is infinitely better than 7 on all fronts and the new Gateway update may or may not work on your system depending on the exploit they use - patience is required, for now we only have make-believe promises and rumours.

I know, right? Once I updated my 3DS fw from 7 to 8.1, I never wanted to go back!

While we are just killing time can a history buff explain what improvements were made in 8.1 or was it a joke?

This is what happened in 8.x according to Nintendo:

System stability improvements and other adjustments: Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience

Nope, not kidding.

The 8.1 vs 7 bit refers to Windows, not 3DS firmware - I like how nobody picked up on that yet.

Oh goddamn it.

I should've known better.

Either way, heard 8.1 is pretty much.. The same as W7 performance-wise. It's task manager and copy-cut-paste system is much better than W7's.

 

[Foxi4]

It's not the same - it's better. Smaller memory and CPU footprint, among other advantages.

Finally someone is making sense in this thread. People are holding onto Windows 7 for dear life. Windows 8.1 is a better windows with an OPTIONAL metro screen but people can't see past that.

Agreed. i can say that Windows 8.1 has been less taxing on my compiter.

Also I own a surface pro. It uses Windows 8.1 well. No problems here as long as you do your maintenance. XD

Windows 8.1 Master Race. lol

Just booting and beginning to use it in mere seconds is worth it.

If only it didn't come with that horrible mobile/touch-screen oriented design... Just yuck...
Just my 2 cents - I'll not derail this thread any further.

Just keep it in the normal desktop. That's what I do. I never use the new mode.

If the interface is so easy to use that you can operate it with your fingers, I'm pretty sure it can be operated with a mouse just as easily. The Start Menu is useless - it has been useless since they introduced the Search Bar. I don't know a single user who goes through the pain of looking for an app in the Start Menu, digging through tabs upon tabs, rather than just clicking on a shortcut or typing the app's name.

U can use the desktop interface. The metro UI isn't that bad...
That is, only if u use it on a tablet PC XD.
Otherwise, than yeah I get it. But get past it and it isn't that bad XD

It's called, Fear of change. I learned how to use the Metro UI and I find it just as efficient. Perhaps even more XD
