'd
That's what I mean. ONCE you are on 9.2.
I am on 4.5 (thet does mean o3ds) so I need to downgrade, do some otp stuff, upgrade, inject, copy, delete and so on..... hardly 1-click. The PSP is 1-click, the wii with Modmii is nearly 1-click
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
Copying a 3ds game to a sd-card and tapping your screen for 3 times (for profile 'mset') is bloody 'near' plug-and-play.
I love to mod my devices (nearly all of them are) but I see no advantage of CFW on 3DS when doing all I want with the Gateway.
Gateway which is -against all odds- still releasing fixes when Ninty upgrades their FW again. For a flashcard company very rare as I have a bunch of ds flashcards eating dust as the (Chinese) company just vanished/dropped support.
I like my Gateway Card, even I paid 45€ for it. I've also had a SKY3DS Card - no 3 !!! of them, Sky3DS red button then blue button then orange button. What a waste of money for Sky3DS.
The Gateway Card is good for testing some games or even modded games. Its faster to copy a .3DS to SD Card than install a cia. Cheatmenu is also nice and can be used on O3DS with games like SSB or MH where NTR CFW cannot be used due to less memory of O3DS.
So yes, Gateway and ALL those other cardes like Sky3DS or whatever are way overpriced but very useful for some of us. But this debate was - is - and will be. It's the same with the A9LH vs MenuHax. Some users are happy with the system they have. If they want to stay at MenuHax - why forcing them to upgrade to A9LH ? If I like my Gateway - why trying to tell me everytime it's a bad card ?
Why ? Let the users decide what they want to use or not.
omg, so much text and supposedly many mistakes of spelling and grammar because of my bad english

Luma supports the MSET exploit.
Using Freeshop is even easier than using .3ds files.
When it comes down to ease and simplicity of use, Gateway and free alternatives are pretty much on par. Gateway inches out ahead if you play a lot of romhacks or translations but on the whole there isn't as much difference as you make it seem.
The situation is pretty simple. If you already have a Gateway, you probably want to keep using your .3ds files that you already have, and probably want to keep using the SD card in the Gateway. I have a 32GB card in my Gateway and 64GB in my console itself - I want to be able to use both.
If you've never had a Gateway, there's obviously no reason to get one anymore, and you don't have any .3ds files anyway.
Here's the thing - it's not an either-or choice. I use BOTH Luma and Gateway. Win-win.

This is true, however your totally missing the point and don't seem to understand why people purchased a Gateway in the past. I can't imagine many people are going out and mass buying Gateway flashcards now.
Pasta CFW was released on May 17, 2015 - Now tell me, what options did people really have before then? G.....y
That's your answer.
You have been spoiled, the 3DS scene now has multiple free hacks, CFW's and tools to choose from. This has only really been a thing for the last year and a half, Gateway is over 3 years old.
Many people had invested in a Gateway before free alternatives were available, if someone still wants to use a Gateway then fair play, it's still supported.
If you we're hacking a 3DS today it's not the route most would take.
OMFG finally someone gets it!
more people need to think like this

I actually was thinking about buying a Gateway when 10.7 was the latest firmware. I thought it was going to work. I didn't know about CFW and all that, yet. I'm so glad I bought a Sky3DS instead.

ITT: Butthurt gateway owners. One single point helped me decide. Gateway needs private headers to go online, correct? Otherwise you take a very high risk of a ban. CIAs do not need a header. What's the point of having a piracy tool (with todays free hax available) if you have to PAY for the games to go online? Gateway was once great, but is now severely obsoleted by CFW for everything but cheats.
what do you mean with PAY? Privae Headers? No, you can dump then yourself and inject into the .3ds.
IIRC at the beginning of 2015 you had Palantine, PBT and TRICK. I used this on my 3ds when you had to stay below 7.xx emunands due to cfw not supporting the keyXslot. The only one that did was RXTools and back then it was mantained by roxas75, closed source and you could only use legit cias, because he would not lift the signature patches until they RE'd his job.
Huh? Butthurt how? Most of them bought it when Gateway was the only actual solution to playing backups.
The only thing I see is Gateway Owners who are slightly annoyed someone is ranting on the product when said person hasn't even owned one, or knows the history of the scene.
No one is pushing Gateway3DS here, because their is hardly any good reason to own one, when free CFW solutions exist, and for cheats, while NTR may not be great, it works to an extent.
Edit: So I mean, what's the point of this thread anyways? I mean to stop people from buying Gateway3DS? I mean, I already feel the community here already does a good job of telling people not to bother with one, with the free alternatives of today.

big wow you can get a £2 game, if you cant afford that you have more important problems than your 3ds being banned
but again nobody is even arguing the toss about gw being the best,they are just saying they have it so they will still use it, and it still has a few handy features....other than that go completely 100% free cfw, it doesnt make much difference either way, its not like GW users cant hitch a ride on the luma train whenever they want anyway

He probably means that as he has no retail 3ds games, he can't dump them. Thus if he wants to play online, he has to pay to someone for a private header dump only he can use.
On the one side yes..on the other side:
If you have a least one orginal game (and you should..really there is no point to have not least one orig game...).
Yo can dump the private header and use it on al other games.
The risk of a bann is higher, but who cares. like the above said.. there more importtant problems than that.
maybe..

Butthurt that someone has a negative (albeit misguided) opinion of gateway. Just because he doesnt own it doesnt make him any less entitled to an opinion.
What 3ds games are that cheap? Sorry, but I don't count bargain bin games that no one cares about.
Last edited by MadMageKefka,
you say you want a private header....well the game doesnt matter does it? there are a few pointlessly crap dirtch cheap bargain bin games perfect for getting a private header from
I actually didn't realise you could use a single private header for more games. Thanks for the info! That aside, as previously stated, the risk of ban is higher. Not good in my book.
