Hacking Gateway 3DS Availability

With a 16gb microsd and express shipping the cost is over half as much as what an XL would cost, oh well.

First off, why would you buy a MicroSD card from Chinese resellers?! And express shipping for this? Damn, that is really not worth it. Just a fair warning, your SD card might go bad really quickly.

has anyone heard from modchipsdirect about when they should receive their shipment?

Yeah i just checked other sites and for the same size card i can get it much cheaper here with free delivery, they are really overpriced on that chinese site for some reason. I guess they are hoping people will just buy one anyway with the flashcart. I can get a 16gb micro sd for £8.50 with free delivery here, and on that site they want $39 for the same thing which is £24.95 wtf?

I should probably just buy the card it's self then, wonder how long the free delivery will take. Maybe i should choose registered air mail it's only $2.

Express mail is absolutely pointless. And buy your SD from a reputable vendor on Amazon or something.

Well i placed an order anyway, hopefully they are in stock like they say. I just paid $2 extra for tracking. Much better price now.

Gateway are working on a rom selection menu anyway so i'm not going to buy multiple micro sd's, a 16gb one should do. I think this card will get enough support to be worth it's price even whenever clones do come out.

I just hope online play still works, doesn't matter if i can't access the Eshop really. No idea how it will deal with DLC like nsmb2 has though.

I can foresee lots of reports coming in about how the "gateway is crap, doesn't work, crashes after level 1, etc" and they're all using loads cheapo chinese or ebay microSD memory cards.

People MUST remember that the majority (I would say majority anyway....certainly on fleabay) of memory cards on ebay are fake misreported cards and are much smaller than their reported size resulting in corrupt data

I have just ordered my GW3DS from http://www.digitopz.com/buy-gateway-3ds-for-3ds-3ds-xl-p-1279.html. I hope I will get it soon.

You can get a Sandisk 16gb for only £8.50 on Play, can't get much cheaper than that. I don't think the card speed class really matters with a flashcart either right? I'd be surprised if the chinese cards end up being poor if they use Sandisk ones as well, except for being overpriced

lol of course the speed matters
with DS Flashcards, playing Pokemon Black or White 2 on a card that was not a "6, 8 or 10" caused slowdowns and lag
chinese ones end up being fake versions
that why always buy from a trusted seller of MicroSD cards

Reseller www.spielite.de has stock
Stock 50

would you be able to order for other members who cant read german very well?
also do they ship outside germany?

 

[Midnight Tboy]

looks like spielite ships from Asia accoring to the Gateway website. Main potential downside to Asia shipping (to the UK at least anyway) is potential customs and courier clearance charges depending on what they mark the value of the package at being

Maybe I could translate the neccessary parts. Also there are $ and Yen currencies there, so I assume they ship worldwide (they ship from China anyway).

lol not £ tho

its worth getting trusted members together, they can pool in and create a large order, ship to 1 trusted temper in there country to keep the postage costs down and then that person can ship to everyone involved in the country because would save alot on postage and people can get it fast then

They ship only to European countries.
Btw every reseller gets 50 pieces of gateway flashcards.
Small batch I guess.

50 was the minimum order allowed by the Gateway team to resellers to place
