there is a difference between embedded in the games code AP and plain and simple activate a flag to enable the AP protectionJust like how they shared the AP from Pokemon games last gen?

GW was updated to work at 4.x and 9.2, hence the uproar.I'm starting to get sick of Gateway users saying that people are stupid for buying a Sky3DS.
Why can't they understand that a Gateway card cannot work on FW over 4.5 and that the Sky3DS is the only option for people on FWs higher than 4.5?
Sky3DS doesn't use any exploit so it doesn't have the capabilities of Gateway.
Both cards run on different firmwares meaning different possibilities, making it impossible to fairly compare them.

Correct, however some people ride horses so high that they can't hear you from all the way down on the earth where reasonable arguments reside.Oh, well some people are on higher FWs than 9.2 and Sky3DS is, of course, their only option.
yeah and i dont think anyone has said "people who were on 9.3+ who bought a sky3ds are dumb", and tbh people who decided that they wanted to update to 9.3+ even though they were on 9.2 or lower....so be it, i don't care what people do with their 3DS, neither option is 100% future proof, but before this there was many people blindly claiming that sky3DS was invincible and that it would NEVER EVER EVER be blocked in any way shape or formOh, well some people are on higher FWs than 9.2 and Sky3DS is, of course, their only option.

This. So many people complain and ask when gateway will update, when it's stupidly easy to sell your current 3DS and buy an exploitable one. Gateway's cost like $60 or something so it's not like the extra $20 for upgrading to an exploitable version is hurting anyone...My strategy to go the Gateway path, is to sell my 3DS (With a game), to buy an exploitable 3DS so I can use Gateway happily ever after. Not many people even consider this and act like they're FORCED to use Sky3DS. Ever heard of the Gerber Life Plan? Well this is the "Gateway Plan".
If you know how to use sites like ebay, you can sell things for higher prices than Gamestop.
I literally sold my 3DS XL for $200, and bought an exploitable 3DS for $220. Just a $20 difference but so worth it! It was brand new, unused still in the box which is a plus.
This plan might not be accessable for everyone though, but it's definitely possible.

Gateway is basically the future, but as I said before buying a sky3ds right now is like so risky
I don't buy second hand things. And I sure as hell ain't gonna be paying large sums of money for a second hand and potentially bricked console.

You could always check the seller's rep.I don't buy second hand things. And I sure as hell ain't gonna be paying large sums of money for a second hand and potentially bricked console.

I'm not worried about not being able to play two particular games without having to purchase them because I've never heard of either of them. And who's to say every new game from now on won't be shite anyway?
If an interesting game does come out, it wouldn't make much of a dent in my wallet if I bought it.
People are taking the wonderful technology of Sky3ds for granted. The Sky3DS card costs like €80 (might be wrong) and I think 3DS games cost around €45 each.
You can get at least 600 3DS games for €80 but if you want a certain new game you're gonna have to buy it. I'd take that offer any day.
There, there. No need to write reassurance posts to make yourself feel better. Everyone has made a stupid mistake when buying stuff at least once in their lifeSky3DS is invincible. Two new games are not.
Just wait for Sky3DS team dump out all their stockpile of blue button card, then you can have another color button card with AP check fixedSky3DS is invincible. Two new games are not.
Gateway is the future, extremely far into the future for >9.2.Gateway is basically the future, but as I said before buying a sky3ds right now is like so risky
Im kinda want Emunand 9.9 support kinda badly
Sky3DS is invincible. Two new games are not.
You're aware that GW works on N3DS and can access the eShop, right?I'm with you. I've already gotten a ton of use out of the Sky3DS. This news only affects me when I actually buy a game that is incompatible (since I only use Sky3DS as a convenience thing). If and when that happens (and assuming there is no simple fix forthcoming) I'll just have to carry around 1 extra cart when I travel ... IF I happen to be playing the incompatible game. Not a big deal.
The strategy espoused here to just buy a lower firmware model may work for some, but I'm firmly in the New 3DS camp now that I've had one a while and can't imagine downgrading. As I like being on current firmware (to buy eShop stuff and avoid any real 'hacks') Sky3DS is basically my only option. I'm not saying it's better than Gateway, I'm just saying it's better for me.
