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

[doorbell8423]

This logic makes perfect sense, and carrying around microSD cards is alot less space-consuming than game carts.

i like your thinking..that's true

Yeah, because you can't download games digitally from the eShop? This is not an excuse.

but you have to pay big money and SD cards are A LOT cheaper xD

the micro sd's are probably just as expensive as the official games

i don't think so!

Sorry if someone asked this already or if it was answered, but can the region lock be bypassed with this?

EDIT: NVM, I just saw the first post, I'm an idiot.

wut about Garyopa's quote
http://www.ps3crunch.net/forum/threads/7228-Announcing-the-Gateway-3DS-Your-gateway-to-games

"And for those asking, it is 'early video' before the 'game manager' was finished in coding by the homebrew developers, reason for 3 microsd one for each rom.

And it should be shipping in less then 2 weeks."

wait wait wait here the pic from the first post

now do you see what that says "before the game manager was finished" does that mean there is a game manger and we wont need a bunch of sd cards

edit somewhat ninjaed

edit 2: from ps3crunch

the solution for a game manager on a 1:1 card is a very simple one, you just have a DS mode manager homebrew app that will re partition either an internal built in flash chip or the micro SD and copy the rom over on the new partition after it is re formatted ,if the card has a built in flash that is the max size of current 3ds carts , you just switch to DS mode to use the manager and load a new rom, then you dont have to have a PC to change the roms all the time
assuming you can fit a dual ds/3ds mode card in the housing

ace3ds was on the right track

No you're NOT!


EDIT: Hey Hey Hey, by the way,
if enyone doesnt know, ★ 3DS Chip decapping fundraiser ★ is oveeer they collected $2000.10 woohoo!



p.s. that 10 dollars extra is for coffee xD

 

[MadHouse38]

Sounds cool.

 

[doorbell8423]

Yeah, but no Home-brew i guess :/
i am really interested to see how will 3DS hardware handle emulation

One site has it up for preorder for $60. Wonder if that's at all indicative of the actual price?

3DS-Flashcart, the fourth result down if you google "gateway 3ds preorder"

Wouldn't advise buying it, though.

 

[natkoden]

prolly fake, judging by the comments and the "In stock now" legend

Definitely skeptical, though it does note that it's a preorder down in the descriptions.

Would be an incredible price, though.

I'm holding out on this for as long as it takes. If they'd let me dump my own games then I'd be more inclined to get one, I used cfw on my psp to make dumps of my own stuff there. if I can do the same here, I'll get one. Also one per sd card? Dumb as hell. They _should_ be allowing you tohave _multiple_ roms per partition. By doing so, you should be able to have multiple partitions on the microsd card. And it could have the first partition of x size that says "rom a is of size x and starts at lba address of y, rom b is of size z and starts at lba address size zz" that'd be a much better system and the console would likely only be looking at those partitions in that area to make sure it has the data in the places it expects. The card could just move the initial offset to allow for more than one per card.

Edit: They should be doing that if they have the hardware to imitate it, also I hope the supercard team gets wind of this and reverse engineers it. Their card has made me very happy to use. Anyway obviously everything I've said is based on here say and other such things that I've read on this thread and thus it may be entirely wrong and I have no way to verify it but I'm going off of basic logic when dealing with the trickery I imagine the thing is doing. It would know that data and pretend anything otuside of it doesn't exist.

I think i'l just wait and observe what is happening...........................

Actually, as I believe I've said ~15 pages back, it does help hackers, if only by giving easier access to games they could search for exploits. Instead of having to buy all games to check for exploitable bugs, they spare not only money (allowing smaller hack teams to be effective), but also time and effort (locating out-of-print games or outdated versions not available anymore).

Lots of Chinese shops do that. They don't keep any actual tabs on stock, they just stick an "in stock" notice on every product to get people to send them money as soon as they can.

Oh well, fake or not it looks a lot more convincing that crown3D, still this only the beginning
