Gateway Release New Video - First Units To Ship This Week

[Vengenceonu]

Which is what I said, we can't jump to conclusions. Good, or bad. We can't modify anything on the 3DS without breaking their signature as of yet, while on the PS3 side they had the keys leaked and it was broken wide open. The GW3DS will currently only play games until an update higher than 4.5 comes out in which case we must wait for the GW3DS team to update the GW3DS or create a bypass for mandatory updates.

did they give you the shipping info yet?

Yes. Anything from 4.2-4.5 I believe. However, you MAY have to update it to 4.5... *Not entirely sure about that though, but you're definitely IN, whether you can stay where you are, or have to upgrade to 4.5*

Is it already confirmed if this can run on 5.0 3DSs?

They're working on compatibility for 5.x and 6.x. We're not sure how far they will get with it, in that respect, however.

Any ideas how I can exchange my 5.1 unit with a 4.5? I bought it from an online retailer. I thought I was safe with being on 5.1, sadly no :-/

I think we can safely assume that this cart will eventually be blocked since it IS based on a blockable exploit. Surely, this flashcart will continue functioning if the team itself are able to find exploits to continue supporting their own cart but seeing how their current progress with 5.0 and 6.0 firmwares, I'd say people will be stuck on 4.5 until proven otherwise.

I'm just curious to see how this cart will handle future game releases. Maybe, somewhere along the line, they'll come up with some sort of patch for newer games to block the forced update (from the game) to shoot through!

It won't be patchable, and and they could remove the update part of the ROM, the games still won't run without the right firmware. Nintendo could even close all their servers to people without the latest firmware and I expect them to do it in the future, like for the eshop.

Like this^

I stopped reading at, "It won't be patchable". - If you look bad at Roman.Sol's previous comments, in other threads, you'll find he makes a LOT of assumptions, and believes he knows what he's talking about. He also holds the belief that he knows things about the future. He states things that we don't know yet, as certainty.


He's not real bright.

I'd shy away from this one.

Just gotten a 2nd hand DS3 with firmware 1.1.0, so I guess I am good here... Want to wait until The gateway arrives, but which game comes standard with 4.5... Or is there a site I can check which games contains specific firmwares

I'm pretty sure there aren't any sites that host firmware updates, like the PSP scene did. You're best chance is to buy (or rent) a game with the 4.5 update embedded in. I think they had a thread regarding that right... here: http://gbatemp.net/threads/which-games-come-bundled-with-update-4-5-0.351084/

Well it's irrelevant to Gateway anyways.. simply the 3DS is not a PS3. But thanks for the info I didn't know they still required soldering, they made it sound like it didn't where I read the news about it.

Nintendo's game specific anti-piracy checks were pretty crap in the first place if you are referring to that.. on 3DS while yeah we can't patch the games, but the games can't check anything that would show it's running from a flashcart anyway now. It's not tactics so much as just being a modern system with an OS this time really. Gateway being a bad start? I think this is as good of a start as you can realistically expect on platforms like this..

It'd be a better start if Nintendo had not somehow fixed exploits multiple times before they were even public anywhere.. I'm wondering how that even happened without a tip-off. Multiple exploits and they coincidentally found them in the same timeframe of discovery?

 

[iNFiNiTY]

Yeah.. I have read all of 3dbrew more than once, cause I'm boring like that. It's very interesting if you are into security stuff or ehh.. technical things.

OH yes
It can get a bit complicated at times! I guess it's just something you've gotta be naturally interested in, ya know?

Soo, how do I exchange my 5.1 unit to a 4.5 unit? Bought at an online retailer. It's a 3ds XL. I guess I could buy a used normal 3DS, which wouldn't be that expensive, but I can't see myself using the smaller screen etc.

Erhm. Contact the person who sold it to you? Really, the only way to do it is to buy a 3DS with a firmware 4.5 or below

I guess.. I just thought maybe I could get Nintendo to exchange it or something, I don't know. Maybe some of you had a few tricks up your sleeves. Maybe I should just wait at 5.1 and hope Gateway can make it work. I wanted to play AC: New Leaf, but I'd need to update to the latest firmware to do so. I guess it'd be safest to stay at 5.1.

I'm sorry man :/

If you were to bring, let's say your PSP, to Sony to repair, not only would it cost money, but they'd automatically update it to the latest firmware as well. I'm sure Nintendo would do the same. It'd be best to avoid that route :/

Maybe sell it in at a place like Gamestop and build up enough money to purchase another one? Or just wait for a new exploit?

Best of luck!

is it possible to play online with this?
