Gateway Release New Video - First Units To Ship This Week

Cheers,
So I need spent around 4-6 Dollars for one Game because every game requires own micro sd?

lol you make micro sd sound like a cd-r. Just have one or two and then backup your saves and replace the game inside with new ones. If you're a finnicky gamer who tries to beat several games at once before finishing one then sure, it's going to require more sd cards but I can't really feel bad for someone like that

Said it before when it was new and I'll say it again. I ain't getting it till region lock is bypassed.

Yeah, but if I remember correctly, there were a bunch of sites that no one heard about until they were added to Gateway's resellers list. All you need is $2500 (I think that's what someone said) to become a reseller, so sell over 32 Gateways and you make out with a profit. Never underestimate the human capacity to screw people over.

All I can say is if said product does not work as advertised..I'm telling my card company there was fraud. Pretty easy to get money back when you don't pay with cash or shady paypal accounts.

I think you can prepare 2 to 3 micro sds, and copy whatever game you want play on it. I think 2-3 is enough.

GATEWAY 3DS FAQ Update

29/07/2013
First units to ship this week !
And a quick note to update our FAQ regarding the use of the "blue" card and recent title releases:

Can the blue card run DS home brew ?
YES :- The bundled blue ds card, is in essence a standard DS cart capable of both DS backups and home brew for DS mode, tested to work on 6.1

Is the blue card required for every power cycle ?
No :- Our custom Gateway Installer DS app is only required to be run once to setup and thereafter any time the console is used in DS mode.

Does Gateway support all games:
No :- Animal Crossing uses unique NAND based save hardware in the cart, support will be added through a GW firmware update. Mario (released last week) is forcing 5.1 update. We have prioritised work on supporting all such future releases. Stay tuned.

I think my previous speculation was right, they did use the DS mode. Is it right?

All I can say is if said product does not work as advertised..I'm telling my card company there was fraud. Pretty easy to get money back when you don't pay with cash or shady paypal accounts.

I heard most of the re-sellers are prepaid for their privilege.

Let me just put this out there.

1) So far, there is no PUBLIC way to dump 3DS roms. Therefore, if you're buying this product, it's obviously for piracy.
2) Anyone who says, "I only download the roms if I own them"... don't own them, initially. If they had, they wouldn't download "another" copy. And even if they already own it, it's still piracy. Anyone who's buying this is in it for illegal purposes.

I'm buying it. I plan on downloading roms.


C'mon guys, I'm not telling you something, you don't already know here. Please don't try and act 'innocent' and defend 'piracy' by shifting words to make it sound legal. Doesn't matter what you're doing, the card's made for illegal (piracy) purposes. At least I can admit what I plan on doing with it.

I suggest we call off amateur hour at the law debating society for the time being, I lessened it a bit too.

Some points though
"Nintendo says"
Except it does not work like that. http://digital-law-online.info/cases/24PQ2D1561.htm http://www.benedict.com/Digital/Software/Sega/Sega.aspx

"Out and out illegal"
The last few months have seen some interesting cases in various places but there are other similar classes of devices that are notably allowed.

"It is only illegal if you inhale download"
Possibly but assuming you did not enable someone else (via upload, you will also notice that pretty much all of the cases involve uploads and distribution) then the civil court has to prove loss and if you do have a valid license for the game at that point then you have a fair defence on your hands.

"just complain to my credit card"
I sense that is something of a letter of the law rather than the spirit of the law affair.

Okay guys, "is piracy right or not" has a thread of its own, and the purpose of this thread isn't to discuss of the legality of the Gateway, but of every tidbit of news of it.

Thanks for your cooperation.

I hope to hear some new information on whether they had their products shipped...

 

[Super.Nova]

I thought people whom questioned the legality of such products are long gone... yet they're here.

For now, there's absolutely not a single reason to buy this product if you believe that buying the real game and downloading it's ROM is legal.
This specific flashcart would ridicule what I believe to be the main reason one would get it; saving space and having all games in one cart.
Otherwise, support devs the good ol' way and kindly get out of this thread.

Is this thing dead? These delays are feeling a little Crowny. If they actually shipped last week someone would have it already (there would easily be someone who would have overnighted one).

 

[Devin]

...They shipped on Saturday, as expected. I have tracking information for my review sample, and someone has already received theirs.
