The Gateway people say that the next version of their software, version 2.8, will work with 3DSs running 9.2 and below. Whether or not all the features will work and things like that are more than I can say, not having access to the closed beta, but assuming it works the way my 4.5 3DS does, it's pretty easy to set up and has all the features I could want. Once the new version goes live we'll make another video if our patch works with it, which as far as we know, it should.
Give or take, about 95% of the overall work is done.
I'd put the 3DS release at an optimistic 20%. A lot of the strings are identical, and we've ported those already, but there's a lot of things that are different, even where the plot is broadly similar. Plus there will inevitably be some ASM hacking that has to be done, not my area, but that kind of thing can sometimes take only a few minutes to do seemingly complicated things, and sometimes take weeks to solve apparently simple things, so that's a major variable. I wouldn't expect that we'll be done with Decode in less than a year, even if everything goes exactly according to the plan, which I wouldn't plan on.
Wait, so you don't plan to go according to the plan meaning that you will go exactly according to the plan...?
