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

[earny]

I think there will be some bricked 3DS: let's say you have a "gateway", a 3DS not up to date, a bad rom dumb (or downloaded), or a crapy sd card and fail your update.

this card do not worth buying for me

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

Aside from the bickering, are we getting a 3DS flashcarts section or is it just going to be part of the 3DS Hacking & Homebrew section until there is more than just the 1 flashcart. Assuming Nintendo doesn't get this seized by customs agents in all regions that they sell the 3DS, before some of us get one to use.

***Reminder to Everyone***:

As far as this discussion goes, Please don't jump into any conclusion, since the flashcard maker isn't said anything about how their flashcard works.

You may suggest something, but don't assume that it is true.

But pong knows everything about everything!

I was trying to contact them in hope of a possible release date, but nothing . I swear sometimes i have no patience lol

 

[oslash]

so.. this cart doesnt even worths for pirates

i just hope that the gateway team has a way to keep this cart unblocked, at least until a exploit that allows homebrew and region block bypass comes out

either if the exploit is a savegame exploit or a hacked rom with modified code this cart is useful for this

The thing is that he said that the video was recorded before the loader was made.

And I said "... You don't announce a product a few weeks before release by showing off a prototype that has fewer features..." in the post you just quoted.

If you wish to think that way, then the entire card could be a really well done fake and be done with it ...

Don't get me wrong, I have no doubt the card is real; we have proof of that in the video. But no one has provided any PROOF that it does more than we saw in the video. As I said: testimony doesn't count in science, no matter how trustworthy the source. Nor should it count anywhere else where facts are the desired outcome of the discussion. Like here, for example. The most you can say is that it's POSSIBLE they added a menu-based loader since the video was recorded.

But for the sake of argument let's say there is one. Question. Why didn't they make a new video for the announcement? The only two answers I can think of are:

1. They're too lazy
2. It's still entirely non-functional, or worse no actual code has been written for it yet

If 1, then that's just poor marketing. Especially since their target market routinely refuses to do any research. If 2, then how are they planning to ship it two weeks? If it's not at least semi-functional by this point then two weeks isn't going to help much. And yes even semi-functional is worth a new video.

Do you think we will get a HBC like the Wii or any other custom channels ?

Only with a kernel-level exploit and signing tools on the PC side of things... Similar to the PS3 scene, which is just a bloody mess.

Oh dear... *blushes*

Either way, I would rather wait these two weeks before making any conclusions. I know that GBATemp shall make a review for this eventually.

Seems 3 or so flashcards has been send out for testing purpuse before.
Don't know how valid this is tough.

or even better 3 , they have a loader that is not complete and they are trying to rush out the cart for a good reason, maybe they have some knowledge that there are competitors that are going to be releasing something as well ,maybe something better and they want to beat them to the punch and cash in quick before the better solution is released

[emigre]

Because probably you're gonna act like a hypocrite and probably use that card if it ever comes out.

What the? Seriously what the fuck?

[mysticwaterfall]

I seriously wonder how many high and mighty "I'll never use this just for piracy" people in this thread are really huge hypocrites and are going to get it/a better later version anyways. It's like "backups" that everybody claims to have. Seriously, nobody really cares if you pirate or not.

^ While piracy is always tempting I admit (have an SCDS2) I'm more interested in using the 3DS as a retro handheld, up to possibly N64 as some think it could do(probably with CPP?). I hate dealing with them on computers, tablets, phones, etc. Looking forward to homebrew and bypassing the RL as well of course.
