Hacking Pasta vs. Gateway?

[Kionea]

Pros/cons to each, differences between the two, similarities, I looking for a breakdown of the two.

Or if there's already thread on that I'd be glad to be pointed in the right direction.

With Gateway you can play any games 3ds and install .cia with deffirents firmware SDK using Emunand,
Pasta,you can just install .cia play online without header... however you can't play all games.

Also in pasta you can use eshop spoof. (Usefull for n3ds, since emuNAND support is only up to 9.5 atm)

I don't know more about Emunand but i think you can upgarde it to the last version FW

only on o3ds/2ds, not on n3ds.

What types of games would you be unable to play?

Don't forget that Gateway has multiregion fix for games and mset/spider as launch methods vs CN only on pasta.
In short - gateway is much better.

 

[dedChar]

What types of games would you be unable to play?

All games that require a higher fw

How is it free if you need a copy of Cubic Ninja?

I heard they are working on a spider version, but as of now you're right.

128GiB of additional storage through the cartridge slot. No "custom firmware" on the 3DS will ever be able to deliver that advantage.

For the price of the Gateway card alone, you could buy at least 2 extra SD cards and get all that extra space. GW does have the advantage of hotswapping without powering down, but otherwise the space argument isn't too strong imo

Yes, because if I purchase a flash cartridge for storing multiple games, I'm totally into constantly swapping out between multiple SD cards instead of a single one that can store all of my games at once, and all for the benefit of a hacked-up FAT32 solution instead of a native exFAT file system...

this topic is stupid, neither is 100% complete and up-to-date to run comparisons.

This post is why that other thread should get stickied!! (Gateway vs. Sky vs. CFW vs. clones)

Pros for gateway :
- EmuNAND
- Compatible with xenoblade and pokemon shuffle
- 3ds roms support
- Support for games that don't work as cia or require 9.3 such as Xenoblade
- Firmware spoofing
- Can be launched via OOT on N3DS
- Can be launched via the MSET exploit on N3DS (and O3DS, but so can Pasta), so you only need to use CN or OOT once (for downgrading the NVRAM and installing the exploit) in this case
- Can be launched via the browser exploit (no need for CN or OOT)
- Supports NTR CFW 1 (O3DS only)
- GW menu features such as downgrading, game dumping, NAND dumping and restoring, NVRAM downgrading, save dumping and restoring

Pros for pasta :
- eshop spoof (it's only a pro on n3ds)
- dsiware games support
- gba games support (but only ambassador games on n3ds, at least for now)
- Supports NTR CFW 2 (N3DS only)
- Doesn't require the purchase and use of a flashcart

Added some points.

Once pasta has mset on 9.x it will be the ultimate add on for gateway uses. You will get to have all features and no card swap
