Hacking Gateway fixed "Head Tracking" functionality on New 3DS?

[retrofan_k]

Been out the loop for a while and decided to look into using my 8.1 JP N3DS, yet earlier reports shown and from GW's release notes that this function had a bug in their firmware release:-

Another pending issue we are working on fixing is the broken "head tracking" functionality
in Gateway mode on New 3DS. However, some clever community members discovered an easy
temporary workaround until we develop a proper fix for this issue: Simply close your New 3DS
lid while in Gateway mode to put the console in sleep mode, re-open the lid and head tracking
should be working again as expected.

Is this now addressed or is the temp fix still needed?

Thanks

No but the temp fix is just a quick open and close of the lid

It's still annoying.

It's not THAT annoying. You just have to open and close the lid ONCE after booting into Emunand. Takes mere 2 to 3 seconds, and after that, you don't have to do it again UNTIL AND UNLESS you shutdown your console and restart it later from ZERO.

Not that big a deal.

It has nothing to do with gateway exactly. Launching any CFW requires you to close the lid to fix 3D on it.

Closing the top half and opening isn't that hard to do.......god damn.

maybe he robbed a store display unit and can't close the lid as its still in the metal frame .......PS you can also use a magnet just under the B button to simulate closing the lid

You can even buy a SECOND N3DS, flip that one open, and bring its top side near the bottom side of the first N3DS to simulate closing the lid. I mean, sure. Why the fuck not.

I can explain why this is: All CFW are based on Gateway's exploit. Basically this is a form of digital plagiarism.

It's a side effect of exploiting gspwn - no real easy way to fix.

The offsets for removing the signature checks were posted anonymously on pastebin a few months back. Then someone else implemented it into Pasta CFW.

Gateway's exploit required Zelda OOT.

Some dev said it was easy to fix, but refused to say how. You know, like a dick.
