Hacking Gateway 3DS Availability

[Vengenceonu]

Two red stickers? How do you mean? is there an extra sticker apart the one that goes over the card itself?!

The Red gateway has 2 stickers on it's back and front to cover the hardware underneath. The blue gateway has 1 on its front like any regular (3)DS(i) game/flashcart.

Modchipcentral is one of those slacker vendors that put only 1 sticker on the red cart.

The item (RC********HK) left Hong Kong for its destination on 8-Sep-2013

.....



how the hell can it take so goddamn long -.-

nds-card,com told me, the item was shipped on august 17th... which was a straight lie, it was shipped at september 6th... left hongkong on september 8th and now, 9 days later it still didn't reach germany? wtf?
How many weeks do I have to demand my money back via paypal? 4? 6? I preordered and payed at august 17th, can I still get my money back? never ordering from nds-card.com again, ever -.-

What site did you check on. The gave me http://www.17track.net/index_en.shtml this one, but that doesn't look like the screenshot you posted.
I think they also told me the 17th. But couldn't give me the tracking code until just 12 days ago or so. I don't believe a thing they say either. I've ordered stuff from HK before (through ebay mostly) and it never took this long to arrive (counting from the 17th). Of course it can happen some time, but not with all the orders. I just hope the card arrives before my baby so I still have some time to play.

Edit: I now see you ordered at nds-card.com. Mine was card-nds.com. But still, it's the same story with both.

My order still says "The item (RCxxxxxxxxHK) is being processed for departure from Hong Kong as of 9-Sep-2013.", also from nds-card.

I can't shake the nagging feeling with the no-refund-for-lost items that there might be a scam running in the background, like an accomplice in the HK post company smuggling items back to be sold again. What else can explain this?! I ordered the cart on the 10th of F*CKING AUGUST!

Whoever's in charge here on GBATemp should really think about renouncing nds-card. Advertising a site that takes no responsibility for items lost in transit (and is basically custom-made for scamming naive idiots like I was), deceives customers about shipping dates, makes bullsh*t up about post website errors, and whose owner barely even speaks comprehensible english wasn't a wise step for reassuring users about the objectivity of the temp. Not at all.

Alas, I ordered from them three times. First, last, and never again.

If you got yours from modchipcentral, they will tell you that they are not sending you the other sticker even if you ask them to send it.

Mine took 11 days to update. It was stuck on being processed from the 7th, until the 18th when it departed for the UK. I think hongkong post are just slow to process.

I made the mistake of trusting this very site's advice. Besides, the only hungarian retailer has ~120 USD as the price.

The thing is, many people in past have ordered from NDS-card without a hitch. Why the hitches are starting NOW is beyond me or anyone else. I've ordered from them several times over a few years and I have never had an issue.

Is there any way Gateway can run DLC for games in the future?
For example there's a lots of DLC for Fire Emblem...

Also, there are a lots of digital games too, which would be nice to play.
Senran Kagura US version will be digital-only for example.

Mine was a preorder. Preorders get the first lot.

Anyone got the size & a decent scan of the stickers? I have printable sticker sheets, so if mine is missing one when it comes, I'll just print and cut mine own so I can use straight away.

Well as I have mentioned before, cymods and teensy are a very good sources for getting gateway 3ds. I highly recommend you give cymods a try

Theres a thread about Micro Sd card stickers/covers somewhere in the hacking section. Someone there has the measurements for the gateway sticker and retail cart stickers also.

Anyone know anything about http://www.r4cardusa.com ? They were on the official resellers list so I ordered from them on 9/8 since it said in stock. They sent and email that says it shipped 9/9 and have yet to receive it was also not given a USPS code. Tried emailing them and haven't heard anything back.
