Hacking Gateway support for Firmware 9.0 – 9.2 Coming

[ztoben]

no word on when it's coming out yet. i found a 3ds XL at sears for 60 bucks and i may wal-mart price match it.

I thought they took that deal down already?

You can buy now and then install the update when they release it (you'll probably need a 4.x 3DS to do that, though).

Well I plan on buying the Nintendo 2DS Crystal Red when it comes out on Nov. 21. Should I still buy it as soon as possible or wait till the update to get the updated card?

The sooner you get it, the better, of course, since although there won't be any shortage of brand new 9.0 consoles soon, the prices may rise later on.

According to GW, there will not be an updated card. Only the software for the current card will be updated. Personally, I'm going to wait until we hear more news from GW regarding the features before I buy the card (but that's just me).

Regarding the 2DS, I would go ahead and buy the 2DS as you have planned when it comes out, and quickly update it to the latest (9.2-20) FW (assuming that is still the latest on the 21st) before Nintendo pushes out a new update.

Smealum exploit works on 9.x also. Right now it would be best for you to update to the latest firmware and stay there.

He doesn't have to update since smealum's exploit works on many other firmwares too.

Could you post the email?

I'd rather them just release it altogether than watch some videos.

Their respond :

YOu will have more details soon, we will post some videos.

Ok so here is my question:

Would we still run emunand?

Lets say, for instance, that FW10 comes out or something like that. It changes everything. Isnt it easier on them to update the emunand support then the base firmware?

 

[Phantom_User]

So they're releasing videos soon? Hype! Even if us 9.X users can only run comercial games akin to Sky3DS, I'd still be happy.

The fact that it's a software update only is pretty big too.. I'm eager to know just what the heck is going on.

Btw, I asked the Gateway Team if we'd have this in time for Xmas and I got this:

As far as a time frame, we can't give any now, but the wait won't be long.

Here's to more waiting

I'm sure the 9.2-compatible update won't support emunand.

A release before christmas would be the best. I want a gateway for christmas.

I'm hoping they do so. It'd be swell to have it before Xmas.

A release before thanksgiving would be better

So, it only runs in 9.0 - 9.2. It's not the same method Sky3DS is using, and it only needs a software update, so it HAS to be a new Kernel level exploit, and I suppose, as others have too, Theme related. That's exciting. The possibilities are endless, who knows what features this will support from launch. But I'm confident, eventually, 9.x consoles will have the same features as 4.x.

 

[jabbaskillet]

yay! yet another mail to fuel speculation

because there was a shortage of it in this thead

Please stop spamming the GW team with questions that they answered in their initial announcement!

I'm sure the 9.2-compatible update won't support emunand.

im guessing it wont either, hence the stay on 4.x firmware if possible, still somthings better then nothing.

Now that's just pushing it .

Good point, that didn't cross my mind. Being software update only means they have something new up their sleeves. And, as you said, it's probably related to Themes.

Really exciting times, let's see what GW has for us 9.x users.

I don't think it's a software update, it's an FPGA update. It's gonna reconfigure the integrated circuit to change functionality.
If it was a kernel exploit they wouldn't tell people to stay on 4.5...
It will just allow games to be read from the red cart on 9.2 systems.
