Hacking gateway 3ds removing sd cardS??

[aofelix]

bought a gateway from a teensy.co.uk.. the card provided is incredibly hard to remove the micro SD card once inserted. is there a specific way or any type of flex?

It's spring loaded.

what does that mean? how can i get the SD card out?

I believe only 1 of the Gateway cards is spring loaded (RED), the other one isn't (BLUE). Not sure why they've made it this way, but I assume it's because the blue one is only for the install.

the blue one is a ace3ds+ clone (at least some are). That's a cheap card so no spring load.
The red card is made by the GW team and should feel good/ with a good quality. That's the reason why the red one is spring loaded.

my gateway red card isn't spring loaded...and I ordered it from RHS weird.

its still incredibly hard to remove the card. after being ejected, its still stuck in the cartridge slot and a real pull is needed each time which i presume can only be damaging to such a small device.

any advice on who to email? already emailed retailer. could gateway be worth a shout?

Do you have tried other microSDs?

 

[aofelix]

I've tried two but I'll try and buy another to try tonight.

Its annoying because its an excellent product otherwise.

Why would they clone something of others? I thought others cloned of GateWay.

The GW team bought cheap DS mode flashcards (for the blue card). They made the red 3DS mode card themselves.

Edit:
Here is a interesting post about the DS mode Gateway.

You should put in a cheap micro sd for the blue card to keep it there forever, since it is a super pain to remove (no spring). The only way I've been able to get my microsd card out was to slide my thumb side to side while pulling it out.
