Hacking Gateway 3DS - First 3DS flash card?!

[jumpman1229]

I'd hate to have to carry around separate micro SD cards for different games. Rather just buy them at that point

Umm; It would be the same as carrying around all the 3DS carts. UNLESS you buy them through the e-shop; which you cant get a refund nor resell on ebay as you could the original physical card.

So Yea...

All I have to say is

The video is using a European system and not showing much gameplay either hmm

 

[ytzone]

Man, if this is real, I'm gonna get a crapload of microSD cards for my "backups."

 

[ferret7463]

you do know that will give some of your lesser hardware equipped hackers, a tool to "test" code directly onto a 3DS .

 

[Walkin]

I'll so buy one of these if it works as it appears.

 

[insidexdeath]

Well this is confirmed real, BUT I just would rather not read through the 27 pages since most of the people will be whinning about wanting to 'back up' their own games. Yes I know there are some people who are like that, but this flashcart is nothing but a piracy tool since you have to have a couple of Micro SD cards per each game. I'm not going to act like a hypocrite and say I'm not going to use it, but this flashcart ain't getting my money until it can run an OS just like other flashcarts or I'll wait for a CFW solution or Wii-like homebrew.

I wouldn't mind if I couldn't resell my games if they did more sales on eShop like on PS3 and Steam and then get them on some kind of account so I wouldn't need to call nintendo if something happens to my 3DS. Atleast Nintendo took hint that players actually want to carry their games on single card which seems to be reason people still want these kind of flashcards as digital is 45€ and fysical is 20-50€ new and second hand is cheaper.

If nintendo would realise this then interest for these kind of flashcards would decrease to some degree. That and removing region lock entirely.

It won't make a difference whatsoever if anyone is willing to buy this flashcart since you'll be carrying multiple micro SDs unless that changes and they code some sort of a game manager that can run multiple games.

Man, talk about unappreciative. So many posts whining about carrying around a few micro SD cards... Disappointing. I really wish the chip was the big and bulky thing that were the first flash carts for the DS: huge, blocky, big like the Action Replay, and with a tedious as fuck procedure to change games out. I remember those going for like a hundred plus, and here we are whining about things like carrying Micro SD cards.

EDIT: I've also been in touch with some of my other retailers and most of the bigger name ones said that the device is genuine and that Gateway's team has been in touch with them.

The problem here isn't only about carrying multiple micro SD, it's also whether it can be easily blocked through a firmware update and people will end up being stuck with the disability to play newer games i.e PSJailbreak if anyone remembers that dongle. It got blocked by Sony in the next firmware update and people were stuck on 3.41 until the CFW came out.

is the msd thing still an issue, 27 pages in?

that thing is the size of a CC and holds 11 msd cards (if you count the one in the adapter). that is just one example of a case idea. how is carrying that in your pocket a big deal? people will find the smallest things to complain about.

Oh yeah I totally hear you. And I understand those claims as well. Its more of a waiting game now, which people just don't choose to understand, lol. Bickering isn't gonna solve anything lol!

Just sent them a email asking to buy one. Let see

 

[ichichfly]

place holder for big comment before idiots spam just crap about what posts are going to be about

Finally this materialized

it is indeed not a fake but all the hardware you want for this has yet to be shown

ideally what this card does is make the Game Chip a Micro SD card
the card will have to be formatted correctly and the right size (eg. you will need, 512mb,1GB,2GB,4GB cards)
each card can only hold 1 rom at a time, as it takes up the whole space of the card
surely you get the point here of whats its doing

the next thing is Save Data
as you can see in the video there is only 1 save chip and thats built in, so if you change the game MicroSD without backing up and Dumping the Save data with a Save tool BYE BYE save
as it is wiped as the game recognizes it as corrupt so deletes it
so they will either have to provide a method of extracting/dumping the save or you get a R4i Save Dongle or something that does the job

basically this is a 1:1 clone sort of deal so only 1 at a time, no homebrew, no mods, no save tweaks

Nintendo will most likely just block this with an update to check the game Chip ID and then fail to boot it

enjoy
but this is a sole piracy deal here

1.so 1 bad sector and the card is useless ?
2.there is no need to do something like needing the right size because the size is never exact the same see 1. + writing the size on the sd and limiting it on the card is so simple it need about 2 min to write that code.
3. why should they write the saves to an internal chip it is easier to write them to the sd because http://www.3dbrew.org/wiki/Gamecards

9 DAT0 Bidirectional data bus.
10 DAT1 Bidirectional data bus.
11 DAT2 Bidirectional data bus.
12 DAT3 Bidirectional data bus.
13 DAT4 Bidirectional data bus / pin NC/SIO3 on savegame chip.
14 DAT5 Bidirectional data bus / pin WP#/SIO2 on savegame chip.
15 DAT6 Bidirectional data bus / pin SO/SIO1 on savegame chip.
16 DAT7 Bidirectional data bus / pin SI/SIO0 on savegame chip.
as you see the save and the rom data can not be accessed at the same time.

--> fake or wrong info

It can't cuz they haven't broke the 3DS OS security. They're just tricking the 3DS into thinking is the real game

YOU AMERICAN,SHOULD NOT HAVE ALL from start wait for me ::: hehe

This won't run unsigned code so nope.
