Gateway 3DS, News and Information

[Scope92]

I haven't been on the forums for a long while, but are any lists of games with minimum required firmwares to play on the 3ds? And is updating the 3ds to the latest unblocked firmware, which currently seems to be 4.5, give new features from previous firmwares regarding on what you can do with Gateway? For example, saving on SD cards is only support on 4.5+ or something like that.

And lastly, to upgrade to 4.5 specifically I just have to boot a game with that update, right? Frankly, I've never encountered any required updates from any 3ds games I've played. Granted they were mostly older games of the handheld, and the fact that I sometimes update the 3ds just to connect to eShop.

so many entitled babies. It's a gen 1 flashcard. So many people here want R4 features for less than an R4 price.

I'll be enjoying games I would have otherwise not purchased, it's more than worth the price. nintendo won't get a penny from me (besides hardware sales) until they end region blocking.

it's pretty much an oxymoron but you should check out some of the garbage that people spew on the original gateway 3ds thread. It's no wonder it was locked due to trolls trolling trolls and other nonsense.

I posted this in the SMT thread but I figure it's worth a shot here too since it's about Gateway. We know what firmware monster hunter updates to and what project x zone updates to but what about SMT4. I'd like to buy it legit but I don't want to ruin my chance at the flash card.

The video was unlisted when first posted here, so it would not show up in subscription/search/videos uploaded by the user until they made it public.

Oh, trust me. I read all that. Now it's just people asking questions that they could easily google, or others stating that they will or will not buy it. :/

It's okay to buy pot and prostitutes, but not flashcards? Hmm...

Haha, i was thinking of it right now, and it actually makes no sense!
But yeah, about the prostitutes, that's not so true :S
But in Amsterdam you can buy weed in around almost every corner, it get's f*cking annoying...
But let's stay on topic now!

I'm considering getting the Mario Kart 7 XL bundle. Does the XL being pre-installed with a game matter in terms of Gateway being useable? I'm assuming it doesn't matter, I just wanted to make sure. I'd like to get the bundle since it costs the same as a standard XL, and would give me a game to play until the Gateway review from Devin is submitted.

if you do buy Mario Kart 7 XL bundle.. and ( you will play online you must go to eShop and download MARIO KART 1.1 UPDATE)

It is said that monster Hunter 3 ultimate's pack is 4.5
Can any of you confirm that?

Well since my black 3DS XL without Monster Hunter came with 4.5.0-10E today, I guess it is the same for the bundle version, since it came out even earlier.

Not really interested in online play in general. Just wanted to know if bundled versions of XL's are capable of using Gateway. And I'm not much of a red fan (so that eliminates the 3D Land bundle).

The Mario Kart 7 bundle would be fine, as I believe it was released December of 2012. Just check the back to make sure it says 2012.

If your XL is on firmware 4.5 or below, then it'll work with Gateway. (However, updating to 4.2-4.5 is necessary for the cart to work).


EDIT:

Did I misread the question, asked? Been up all night, so it's a possibility. If so, sorry for my -accidentally-irrelevant response! Haha!

The firmware is definitely 4.5 or below. I just wanted to confirm having a game pre-installed would have no effect on using a Gateway card. Are you certain pre bunded systems, in general, are gateway capable (assuming firmware is 4.5 or below).

I don't see why they wouldn't be. They're normal 3DS', but with the Mario Kart 7 license.

That feel when you ask if anyone knows what firmware SMT4 requires and everyone ignores you and talks about monster hunter and mario kart firmwares.

I've tried asking everywhere.

I know that feel. We should know for sure when somebody dumps the ROM
