Hacking Gateway 3DS - First 3DS Flashcart

[WhiteMaze]

Okay lets re-post the same information, but this time a little more organized for easy understanding:

if $80 is gunna break you for the value of every game on a system released to date for your region (150 or so); then you shouldnt be gaming - you need another job
fact is $80 is still like 2 or 3 games, and if you cant afford that, you really. realllly shouldnt be buying games.

I shouldn't buy games? Let me make this clear: I don't buy games. Only on rare occasions and when I can afford to. The only game I have is Super Mario 3D Land. Other than that I use an R4 card for DS games.

I'm also not understanding what got you this worked up. I defend the Gateway. Always did. What I did not agree with QuickSilver88's post, was the fact that he mentioned 80$ would be a fairly easy amount to pay for the cart. While that might be the case for him, it certainly is not for other people. So my opinion is a little different on that one.

Target audience my ass; they priced it as the value of 2 retail games, (full $39, MSRP games) and thats fine.
stop beating around the bush.

Are you sure you read my post?

I am going to buy the Gateway cart because of all the money it will save me and I can still enjoy games. Either that or keep buying games, few and far between.

The point I was trying to make is, that if 80 dollars is an amount you are comfortable with then why will you buy the Gateway? If you have a monthly budget of 80$+ for gaming, why not buying original? Support the developers and the companies?

I would. I don't because I can't, unfortunately.

All in all, its just a matter of opinion, but if I had that kind of budget for gaming, I would go original.

So for me, this is a "one time deal". I stretch my budget a little so I can buy a Gateway, but then I don't have to worry about buying games for some time..

If games weren't that expensive, flashcarts won't exist.

A brand new game that costs 50$-60$ is a quarter of the avreage salary in my country.

When you say salary, is that weekly, bi-weekly or monthly? Also what is your country?

We know it's a only piracy-enabling device since page one.

I think they have made it perfectly clear with their "It will be released in two weeks" every two weeks email that this card will not be released..something went wrong, probably the Nintendo firmware update is what officially killed it..Im willing to move on, I am glad I Never pre ordered it, but at least they should come out and stop prolonging the inevitable

 

[KytuzuZE]

yeah...4 weeks has passed as the original date June 15

 

[Rydian]

hey, there is one website saying 3ds gateway in-stock...is it already out?

No. Chinese/import shops usually lie about their stock.

 

[sonictopfan]

This cart supposedly doesn't use an exploit, so you'd have no worry about online play if that is true. The system would see it as being absolutely no different than a store bought game.

I hope so, would be nice if the cart could support adding more games in one SD as well as supporting multi-regions, perhaps these features will be added in the future, I wouldn't even say no for DS support too

 

[sonictopfan]

We don't know that for sure. I have little knowledge of the inner workings of the 3DS, but doesn't the 3DS take logs of the carts you use, and other information? Couldn't they look at the logs and see "Hey... thousands of people are playing Pokemon X with the same game ID... *banhammer*"?

Even Nintendo aren't that stupid to risk banning a legit game cart in favor to ban the other hackers out there.

 

[Lakerfanalways]

This was just emailed to me from Gateway 3DS:

there will be news by end of the week.
and release is imminent, with some samples soon sent to review people.

Will see if they are once again pulling our legs or are legit this time

Many jobs in my country pay even less per month.

So far it is fake. They would at least release something for those whom don't update.

Also this is a cleaver scam. Plunk down $80 on preorder, multiply that by about 150,000 people, delay it by multiples of 2 weeks and apologize. Easy quick cool and free 1.2 million $ and no way to recoup the money after it gets to a point where paypal policy is out of bounds.

Think about it.

Think about it.

Except for the fact that they have told people a ton of times not to pre-order until they say to. Which they have yet to say.

Anyone dumb enough to put down 80dollars on said that hasn't even been proven real deserves to be screwed out of there money

This world is full of dumb people. A sucker is born every minute. You know why my old acct email gets flooded with Nigerian scams? It is because the scams WORK!!!! Shoot my own sister was even getting ready to send them 5 grand to see if they'd send her some money. I even told her over and over that it was a scam and she didn't even want to listen. lol!

But anyway yeah $80 for 2 cents worth of cheap plastic and low grade electronics, now that is a deal.....

I buy most of my games on sale and have only paid full price for one so far. I usually spend $10-$20 per game new.

 

[Rytoast]

Somehow, I have a feeling that there are a lot less $10-$20 games in Romania than in the U.S...
