Hacking New Sky3ds flashcart

So any reliable resellers that has already? We passed 15th.

There's a resellers list on Sky's website. Not sure which one's are "reliable" though - I guess that's a matter of word-of-mouth more than anything else.

It seems that most of the USA based resellers will ship by the 20th... In a perfect world I would receive it by the 25th but I digress.

I was talking to a reseller in NA and he said sky was going to start shipping stock on the 10th so it would be a couple weeks after that. The 20th would be best case scenario but I don't see it happening with the Christmas rush.

What about importing saves from Blue card? What about card1 games?

What about importing saves from Blue card? What about card1 games?

CARD type has no relevance, both work fine. As for importing saves, copy/paste should work, but I have to test it.

I'll be getting mine next week before xmas.. Will post some pics and review maybe

I'd like to get one from nds-card to help support this site, but they don't have any yet. Surprising since they're in Singapore.

To everyone sad that they got a Blue Button... eBay. Look at eBay. The ignorant masses are buying the blue button for more than the cost of the orange button. That's what I did. Took some quick phone pics, put it up and it sold in under an hour. I even threw in an 8 GB card since I pre-ordered the orange and got a free one.

Sidenote: Hypothetically, since the SKY is now firmware upgradable, could it HYPOTHETICALLY play eShop games? I know that it works by emulating physical carts, but it was only stuck this way because it was built, sold and done. Could someone add something to SKY to make this work?

They're not ignorant. They don't have a seller in their region that sells it cheap like we get here. I pre-ordered orange edition for only $75 CDN.

At ebay people are selling Steam Controller for like 3x times the price. Not everyone have it in their region.

The United States doesn't have sellers?

What I'm saying is that, until a month ago, I didn't even KNOW there was a new AP check, so I felt screwed in that regard. I didn't know there was a new cart. But once I started following these threads again, I found out.

I assume most people don't know there's a new one.

Ok if its the US they prolly don't know about sky+

They + was only news like 2 weeks ago. Pretty new.

I heard sky+ is delayed for all reseller. Won't get it untill next week. Hopefully before xmas.

Is that a delay? All the sites I went to mentioned pre-order by December 14th. I heard a few sites "had it already" but none of them actually seemed to.

 

[qproject]

I pre-ordered on Dec 2nd. Was expecting stocks on the 10th to 16th. But got news of delay from my seller. The delay was actually from manufacturer. You might get news from sky3ds about the delay.

Blargh.

Q:Is any Sky3ds reseller getting Sky3ds+ card in stock now?
A: No, the newest cards are still in production. All sky3ds resellers can't get it in stock before 20th, December. So if one site show you in stock, don't be cheated by them.

Three card revisions already for Sky, that's very bad for business.
Each card revision tarnishes brand recognition, effects the cost of new manufacturing infrastructure as well as distributor relations who are stuck with a bucket load of old outdated useless stock.

The folks at Sky are pretty smart engineers but horrible business people.

With flashcards you want one unified manufacturing line that decreases in manufacturing cost year after year increasing your profit margin each year, with one SKU and solid distributor relations your business is golden.
Multiple product SKUs increases production cost, and alienates bulk order distributors who are afraid to keep too much inventory.

In this sense GW has it right. The Sky folks need to hire an cheap newly grad MBA to get their business in order. They got the best reverse engineers in the business, but no business sense at all.

Yes bad brand but nobody force anyone from buying sky. I waited for the blue edition and I'm buying the orange edition. I don't feel cheated in any way.

Everyone said sky would be blocked but that never happened. Nintendo had to modify their cart to stop sky.

Its not cheating people its just bad business to remanufacturer new SKU every year or so.
The cost of setting up a new manufacturing line is costly, so your profit margins are low, and you lose bulk order distributor with each product revision, cause distributor lose money on your old stock.

What you ideally want in this type of a business is one SKU with one manufacturer, and one chain of loyal distributors who keep coming back for more orders year after year.

Each year your COGs (Cost of Goods Sold) should decrease due to the lower cost of manufacturing and your profit margin should increase.

Its business 101.

True, but I'm sure the 3rd time is the charm. They are finally giving the poeple a good product and what they want now.

Businesses are in the market to profit, not for the best interests of the consumer. Most any manufacturer releases a new SKU every few months. If you've ever tried to keep up with Microsoft volume licensing sales you would understand. What is correct now changes every few months.
