I just perused the tutorial thread and I find some things a bit odd. I'm not saying that it is fake mind (or real for that matter), just that these things bother me:
1. Why download something (beyond the QR and a file for your SD)? While I don't know this to be fact, I none the less think it would require a similar amount of code to just read the extra payload off the SD. Size is quite unlikely to be a factor for this choice. Of course it could have been to enforce that 48 hour window, but if not why?
2. The OP claims the install is permanent. This probably isn't a good thing if true.
a. Should you need to send your 3DS in for repair this is concrete proof you violated the EULA
b. Can I no longer use Mii Maker because there is a corrupted Mii that will try to load and start the exploit every time I enter Mii Maker?
c. Did GW find a way to sign CIA's and install their loader as system software some how? o.O
d. Or has SonyUSA just not power cycled or by some other method left GW mode since install?
3. No emuNAND... I really suspect that this is only because there was no reason to put it in the beta test version and it will be in the release, but if it is indeed missing from release this is a problem and frankly DevMenu menu support should have been removed until emuNAND is added.
4. GaryOpa's claim that this is ONE way to do it. This doesn't bother me so much as I find it VERY interesting.
Hmm... Must ponder some more... Need more info... And rum... Mostly more rum...

turn on wifi, scan qr code, turn off wifi. How long until the Download starts to nag you?
If you are not using .cia, then you only have the choice of two formats for games.
.3ds and .3dz. 3dz has the header for online play, .3ds does not. Saves for .3dz are tied to the header the rom has, so can only be used with a rom with that header, saves from a .3ds can be used with any rom.
Retail carts, you can dump the saves, but unless it's a 512KB save (not many are), you can't use it with a rom.

I'll say it again. He liked it because it was funny and ridiculous.daily reminder guys,that i am a batshit tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist who doesn' t like to gloat
There isn't a lot to worry about unless you have 4.5 unit or until The N changes encryption keys again. Card 2 games will store their saves in the .3DS file on the GW's SD, this will be a problem for sharing GW's unless you give them their own mSD's to use. Every other save will be on their 3DS's SD and will not be effected by sharing a GW betwen the units.
That help?
It does not matter who thinks it will have it, it is up to the GW team
With that said I would imagine it would be in there if not that is fine there are plently of offline games I want to play. Already bought most of the 3DS' big titles anyway so I can play them on my old 3Ds

Don't see how it's that ridiculous a theory. Same thing happened with 4.5 and Gateway. Neimod has an exploit, doesn't release because of piracy, Gateway pops up.
Neimod against piracy, turns out to not to be so (dumps roms for scene group), smealum against piracy.... and well story is not finished yet.

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1

SylverReZ:
They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
