Shortage is strange. Hardware revision coming?


I asked a few sellers, two said no, one said there is a new card coming soon. Its possible it was language misunderstanding but if there is a new card I would imagine its a cost thing. My guess is that it'll be the same as the current gateway but eliminate the need for a second card, and come updated with omega firmware. Dropping the setup card would allow the gateway team to undercut knock off cards while maintaining their profit margin.

The setup card is not even worth $1. Getting arid of it will have little to no effect on their cost.

Just to add my two cents.

Ordered from Yeahgeek on Friday and received a confirmation e-mail saying the GW will be shipped within 24-48 hours.

E-mailed them to confirm and their reply is:

"Thanks for your order. But the orders for gateway can not be shipped today, as the brand new gateway 3ds flashcards haven't been published yet. It may come out on 25th."

I am noting the "brand new" and "published" but more importantly "may come out on 25th"

Where are you location? Just checked at gateway-3ds-buy.com,
=========
  • Stock Notice: Gateway 3DS is shortage till the end of July. We only have limited Gateway 3DS stocks in USA warehouse. Orders to USA Customers can ship out at once, to other countries will have a delay.
    =========
    If you are in USA, maybe you can try.

ok, thanx, but I'm not from the USA((

Today, I found this site with cheap price, http://www.modchipfactory.com/
yes, I know, they are of. resellers, but I don't know what to do, Is it better for waiting a little bit and buy from realhotstuff.hk or just buy it now?!

Modchipfactory was my second shopping option but they did not have this offer last time. Well if you sure they have it in stock, ask them to confirm it. Then i don't see why not. Or you could always ask realhotstuff.hk when they gonna restock again.

They restock pretty fast after i placed my last order. Both are safe so just a matter of preferences and their delivery time.

Well according to the mod on maxconsole gateway have switched manufacturers so all resellers will be delayed getting any new stock in....not sure how long this delay will be maybe anything upto a few weeks, if you can find one that has it in stock that isn't too much more expensive I recommend just paying the extra

Anybody know what's the difference between the new Gateway card and the old one? Should I wait for the new one or try to find an old one?

Gateway never say will update the hardware , so, the card maybe the same as old one.
But nobody has stocks of Gateway 3DS now,
new cards haven't released, old ones sold out

Yeahgeek says they will begin shipping the new card on the 25th. their site just updated saying they have stock. maybe someone can ask them to take some pictures and provide information on what's different if anything.

you might as well wait to play it safe. a week isn't that long anyways.

Eachgame just cancelled my because they were out of stock for too long.
Not sure if it will get listed with another SKU later on or not.

Still waiting on Yeahgeek. They claim to restock on July 25.

A warning about Yeahgeek:
I placed an order for 2 Gateway cards with the $20 coupon.
I was thinking that I just scored myself a deal, but then they charged my credit card in CNY, making it more expensive WITH the coupon then just buying it from Eachmall :(

  • 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
    +1
  • 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
    +1
  • 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:
