This sure is getting exciting. Mine is getting closer and closer. Should have it today, or perhaps at the beginning of next week. :lol:

Anyway, got to ask, I am looking for MicroSD cards right now, does it matter which size? I was thinking of getting a 8GB as minimum, can I order a 16GB/32GB too? Or won't Gateway be able to handle that?

Also I am bit confused regarding Micro SD cards. Some say just Micro SD and others say SDHC. Is there any difference here?
microSDHC are just improved, higher-capacity microSD cards. If you want to get a 16/32GB card, I'm pretty sure you'll get a SDHC because SD doesn't go that high. And if I recall correctly, Devin used a 16GB card just fine with Gateway. So it should be good.

Change of plans. He had 2 for sale but.some asshole came in and said he wanted both for 50 each. I had to give him.a sob story and.say.I.would pay 50 also for him to.hold one. Hopefully someone doesn't come in and offer 60 or more before I get there. Don't think my little heart could take it T-T

SDHC is all cards over 2GB. There's nothing "improved".

We are all waiting for! The only german shop (ships from germany) vartis hasn't it in stock.

Actually no european shop has it in stock right now. Only chinese and US-Shops until now. :(

Hello ordered gateway card. Wondered one question is sdxc above 64 gb cards combatible with this card?
Searching forums and 3ds supports sdxc formatting fat 32 with special programs.

Maybe that program can be used to gateway too to support sdxc is that possible have anyone tested?

Isn't it still one game per SD card? Why would you want to use a card that big?

Just tried my unit out, works great thus far. Loaded DKC.

Tip for non-windows users, you can also use the program dd to image your cards.

sudo dd if=/u01/v-dkcr3.3ds of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M

How did you make payment (since they don't accept credit cards). From their ordering details, position in line was not secure until payment was received. I sent an interac payment to them the same day.

All I will say is that I paid them ASAP and I even confirmed with them if I was going to get my item shipped that day. Either way, avoid purchasing at modchipcentral. If they can't be honest from the get go and need to resort to run-around details and no refunds, they shouldn't be in business.

I contacted them earlier and they gave me some spiel about how they got 50 units a day or two ago and how it's not the one they were supposed to receive and now that they're getting 300 units but that doesn't add up because he told me the item hadn't arrived although he told me it would arrive this Wednesday which has come and gone. Same thing happened Thursday and now it's Friday and I've got nothing. I doubt UPS made the mistake of not delivering to their location for three days straight.


EDIT: Alright, that's it. Seriously fuck these guys. They now changed their pre-order description and now claiming they were only getting 50 this week and how they're getting the other half of their shipment at a later date; that wasn't there before. I actually just realized they've now set it to the next Wednesday. I bet they're going to play on misunderstandings now.

DON'T BUY FROM THIS COMPANY

Just picked up the 3DS And its shocking to say the least...

Due to the aforementioned asshole in my previous post, i had to buy the second of the 2 3DS' the shop had for $50. Whoever previously owned this 3DS should be put in jail. This is the first time i've ever seen a regular 3DS and I nearly laughed. How the hell do people over the age of 7 cope with its small size? Glad I went with the XL



For those of you familiar with eBay's condition protocol, (New, Like New, Used, For parts not working ) this 3DS should be listed as "Brutal Rape Victim". As soon as i touched it i heard the ASPCA Song that plays when you see mistreated animals inside my head. No Stylus, No charger, No Love... at all. Cosmetic wear all over as if it belonged to a Colombian drug lord who used it to beat people who owed him money. This thing literally must have been dropped Hundreds of times both closed and open on its face. Dirty smudges that could pass for cum stains (I didn't wanna check) covered each corner.
The Analog Stick has a yellowish greenish tint. How the hell is that possible? Minor paint chips and other deformaties but still (shockingly) in one piece. Games sometimes do not read (gotta blow in it ) so most likely the contacts are dirty (not surprising). Oh, and it was on Firmware 6.1 so there goes my gateway plan. As for the SD card, whoever owned this owns every freaking demo known to man on the eshop. I check the activity log which showed this person only officially owned 2 games... Angry birds trilogy and Pokemon White ( A DS game mind you). The rest were demo's and netflix. Who THE FUCK BUYS A 3DS FOR NETFLIX AND ANGRY BIRDS! I feel like putting up wanted signs to find out. About 150 hours logged into it in its entire life span (which by its appearance should be older them me). Even if this person bought this at launch it shouldnt look like this. User Name is Bubzy. It most likely belonged to a fat woman because that's the face i see in the "Face Raider" Game banner.

The only real upside to this thing is that it came with 3 games, Epic mickey, White version and a DS naruto game which im keeping all and selling this abomination on ebay for profit. Hopefully someone puts it down so it no longer has to suffer. Also guess, what? The asshole who bought the other better 3DS i was originally after (which knowing my luck was probably on 4.5) is selling it on CL for 110 Along with the angry birds.

I warn you... these images are graphic... NSFW... or anywhere else really.

    the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
