Hey guys, sorry if this has been asked before, I couldn't find an answer so please delete this thread if I am breaking any rules.

Anyway, I was looking for the cheapest and most reliable Gateway reseller that ships worldwide, namely to New Zealand. I usually get my flashcarts from nds-card.com, but they sell the Gateway for $80 and I was looking for somewhere cheaper. Also I want a place that is reliable and doesn't sell Gateway fakes, as some of the links I've found aren't listed on the official Gateway resellers list. So if anyone could link me to a cheap, reliable Gateway reseller I would greatly appreciate it, thanks. :)

Have you given ShopTemp a look? Every shop on there should be reliable, especially the verified ones. But the fact is that the Gateway is very pricey. The further away you get from the $80 price tag, the harder you'll find it is to get one. I live in the USA, and I bought mine from ModchipCentral. They only ship to the USA and Canada, but it still cost me $70 plus shipping. It's an expensive card. If you really want one, you'll just have to own up and shell out the money for it. If I had to guess, New Zealand isn't a more common location to ship to, and that may be where that extra $10 is coming from. No matter what you do, even if the price is appealing to you, I personally recommend you don't waste your time with a Chinese seller, as in my experience they are never very trustable.

Also remember when you think you have found a site check out scam advisor, bbb, and what not
This is actually hilarious.

Well everyone mentions the website eachmall, which isn't listed on the official Gateway reseller list. I've looked there and I feel that it is a good price, but do you know if they are selling official Gateways?

Please don't use eachmall, they'll ask personal information from you (like passport scans etc., which is very shady). See my and other comments from this thread

Pay the extra 10-20€ to save yourself the hassle...

That only happens if you use tenpay for your card payment, I ordered from them on Wednesday using the other option and it shipped Thursday without issue.

so you are getting them for £25 delivered too your door, even though you will get taxed on it ;D

38 and won't have to pay anything as these China sellers always mark the shipment as low value for customs. I haven't seen any UK sellers listing for much below £60.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
