Hacking Gateway 3DS - First 3DS Flashcart

[natkoden]

This is really good. However I think I will be leaving it a few months before they iron out the problems. Currently don't like the one game per micro sd card. How big are 3DS games anyway?

max is 4gb, at least for now

that's like moving X game from your PC to the SD every time you want to change the game

Not at all, I always have a DS card in my pocket whenever I carry my DS (even If I dont need it). It would be as easy as swap Flash Cards, launch a DS Homebrew, change the filename and swap back to 3DS Flash Card.

We don't have homebrew here.

And he said "re-arranging/re-naming of files on a computer"

re-arranging/re-naming of files on a computer = moving files from PC to microSD

same -unpractical- thing

Um, no. It's not like that at all.

Please read my post carefully, I havent said anything about PC, just a DS Flash Card and Gateway 3DS.

Why hasn't anyone mentioned the fact that they're using a terribly old firmware in the demonstration video? Most of us probably aren't running something that old.

We don't even know if it will work with 4.x let alone 5.0.0-11. I'm still a skeptic until GBATemp gets their review sample and mentions its compatibility with the current firmwares.

Well now that we know what it is exactly I guess I won't be investing my money into one of these cards too expensive and too much of a hassle. Even if $80 is not the real amount the fact that it is only 1:1 and only stores 1 save file on the flashcard makes it worth more trouble than its worth. The whole part about because of popular demand they are now looking into region-free option is a little funny that they did not realize that soo many people wanted it.

If I were them I wouldn't start trying to make region locked games free until I have a working Flash Card. I don't see Its a problem at all.

"re-arranging/re-naming of files on the msd with via a computer"

Hopefully this clears up what I meant.

Yeah, and that could be easily done with a DS Flash Card as long as you have the 3DS games on the MicroSD.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet. If I had a 3DS, I wouldn't jump on this though, wait until more developers are out there! Those 2nd generation flashcards will be better (on some aspects), and cheaper.

 

[mechadylan]

[lestatbytes]

finally, its time to use my 3DS :3

 

[synce]

$80 and no region bypass? F that

 

[GTRagnarok]

Not bad for the first one out. But I'll wait for further developments.

 

[Jiehfeng]

Awesome, checks price, awww
I'll wait for cheaper products. The is the start, woohoo!

 

[Keylogger]

This makes me remember the first DS flashcard: Neoflash with MagicKey. You have to use an original game in the MK and you were able to save only 1 game in the device.

 

[DjoeN]

Tsss, complaining about pricing :/

First, i'm out of this whole flashcard stuff (i'm at an age i have to set an example for my kids) i buy my games today (i did so before to, but mostly after play testing them on a flashcard) it means, i do buy less games (and play less) then i used to do.

The first Flashcart i ever bought was a SSC (Super Smart Card) for the GB and that i payed ALOT for that (same for all the Bung flashcards afterwards for GBC/GBA)
I think €65 is a fair price, if you know that 1 top game almost cost that much.

Like i said, i'll read the review here but don't gonna buy it.

 

[Katsumi San]

Many people purchase this cart... They forget mention it only runs in 4.X.X.X and lower .. Everyone becomes angry. Though.. they are said it can run ALL current ROMS...
