Gateway 3DS, News and Information

[Liwern]

Well, it looks like Mario and Luigi Dream Team will install 5.x, but until those new games come out, we won't know.

Can we choose not to update when it prompts us?

Also, I now have an r4i Gold. Can I use both gateway and r4i? R4i for ds games and gateway for 3ds. I just need to swap the carts right. I don't know how gateway works, whether it tempers with my firmware or not. That's why Im asking

Yes but you can't play that game if it asks for a higher firmware.

Also, I now have an r4i Gold. Can I use both gateway and r4i? R4i for ds games and gateway for 3ds. I just need to swap the carts right. I don't know how gateway works, whether it tempers with my firmware or not. That's why Im asking

And yup you can.

Please try to use the 'edit' button next time.



And yep! You can deny the update. Also, the dude above me answered your second question.

So to summarize the worst case scenario will be paying 80 bucks for 200 games.

No, the worse case scenario is that it doesn't work at all. But it most likely will, so the worst case scenario is you paying $80 then accidentally updating and blocking Gateway.

 

[Liwern]

Lol I'm not gonna update it. Heck I even skipped the online settings thingy.

 

[Rytoast]

Soooo... A "fortnight" from their last announcement ends this Thursday, am I correct?

 

[Pedeadstrian]

I wouldn't know, I was born after the 15th century. But yes, within a fortnight means they have until the 25th, assuming they don't get delayed again.

You quoted the wrong mistress, nubbins.

we should ship it this week. It is ready, just thinking about wether we wait on
a small update or ship as it is (we are almost done with some new functions).

 

[stephysanrio]

You should answer saying "send as it is and release update later"

They gotta be kidding me if they delay this again....

It's not supposed to be "out" until a fortnight from the announcement, which is the 25th. They've got time. Not much, but some.

If they're sending you the review sample then it would be best for them to just wait for update, if it's days away.

 

[taritas]

I'm confused, when did the gateway be made available so it could be bought?

Pre-orders opened this week.

 

[Xenirina]

Oh well.
I'm just going to wait and watch it unfold.

Hi all!
I just got my brand new 3DS. The firmware is ver. 1.1.0-0E. It's a pretty early version. I thought I can just buy and use a Gateway3DS when it's released since it's below firmware 4.5. However someone said the flashcart only works for ver 4.2-4.5. If it's true, then I should just update my 3DS and wait for them to crack the latest version.

edit: Oh I didn't know we can update 3DS offline by using games. This is great!

So I just need to find, buy a game which is released in March 2013 to get firmware ver. 4.5.

 

[stephysanrio]

I used pokemon mystery dungeon to update to 4.5 ^^

 

[Xenus]

I'm thinking of buying Fire Emblem Awakening. Do you guys know if it will do the job? ( force update ver 4.5 for gateway)

Or should I look for more recent games?

Did it ship to anyone, they said it'll ship this week?
