Gateway3DS Hands On Impression

[drwhojan]

This.
I think that since the Gateway is released, here is where the actual hacking progress begins.

"here is where the actual hacking progress begins"

That's hard, since red card don't use firmware and can anyone afford to mess a round with the chip inside the card xd, take it apart to experiment with ... most not.

Because this is TOTALLY 2006 and 7 years haven't passed and the world is EXACTLY the same as 2006. Why, the Wii is coming out. OH! The PS3 is too! Dude bro 360 awesome!

So you are saying, that it isn't like the DS, because time has passed and things change. Sure sure. But now I have to ask, what are you using as the base of your assumption that this will "kill the 3ds"?

>developers set the price, not Nintendo
>prices are Nintendo's fault
okay

That's not what I meant to say. Nintendo has complete control on what goes or not on their eshop and console and still a 20 years old game is like 5 bucks. Nintendo should devise a way for the users to give feedback on everything including the price of games, arrange sales, promotions, packs, etc.

You're right :/
I need to do some research before I start posting

No, Animal Crossing uses a unique NAND base save.

Doesn't New Super Mario Bros 2 also uses NAND saving?

And so it came to pass that the 3DS was doomed to failure from piracy. People all over the internet became too lazy to purchase games and just loaded up their 3DS's with pirated games. Game developers ceased support for the console, and the 3DS died many years too young.

Rest in peace, 3DS, the world barely knew ye...
2011-2013

As it stands there is some work required and still costs money (each game needs its own sd card).

The lazy person will buy the game and use this for having backups and homebrew. Except I'm not sure if homebrew works on this.

If Nintendo does decide to use NAND-based saving, would this be a good counter-measure to this cart for future games?

And all those guys who think that 80$ is too much to pay for 200+ games should really start working on their math skills.

We have the reincarnation of Gauss in the forums ladies and gentlemen...

200+ games? How many of them are even worth pirating? 10?15? If you are really selective, like myself, only 4 games are worth it atm, Zelda, Fire Emblem, Mario & Luigi, Mario Kart 7 and if you like tactics Shadow Wars(although this is a matter of taste). The rest i won't even bother pirating.

Games don't require only money. They require time as well, and time is more valuable than money. No need to play that many crappy games, stick to the good ones...

So, for me, if you count that i own both Zelda and Shadow Wars, the rest of the three if i want them cost ~90 euros here. Gateway costs 70 plus 5-10 for each micro sd. I think it is overpriced...

lol if that is how you think, you shouldn't game at all as they won't make you money until and unless you start developing them (for that you need to be qualified and be good at it which if you were you wouldn't be discussing overpricing issues over here). Even if you want to play 1-2 games still there is no harm in trying out others, and if you want to play online there is no point discussing this over here.

And I remember you complaining how the games were overpriced in your country, so at least be on what your point is over here, if you don't have the money to buy this or the games don't come over here and complain. Wait for sometime and you would find yourself a cheaper clone, this thread is about Gateway 3ds Hands on Impression and not your complains. And I don't see how time is important to you when you are clearly wasting other people's time over here with your petty issues.

Does download play work fine?

 

[Fubuki-Shirou]

Small question, so if I put Japanese games on the gateway, it WOULD work on my JP 3DS? Right?

Yep.

 

[xyzmanas]

Yep.

How many roms have you tested till now, just curious ?

 

[Makapaka12345]

You should try Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, to see if it is compatible with the CPP.

I informed costello yesterday he said he would handle it.

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

Does it play eShop games?

nope, only retail cart roms.

eShop titles are encrypted to the 3DS they are downloaded to anyways, you wouldn't be able to use anybody's elses 3DS copy of the game to do so.

I'm already looking forward to "Will my 3DS Brick??? 2.0"
