I personally LOVE the GW. It works. Even with Classic Mode I can use Sky3DS or DSTwo. No issues.

But it costs $$$. Worth every cent.

And if there was no GW we would be having a lot less chance of getting a CFW anyway. GW is just a way to get easy access of exploits use rather than research for one (webbrowser for O3DS, and CN and OOT for N3DS, etc), AND getting away of pointing fingers at devs *rolleyes*. The only available option would have been Sky3DS and their clones (and that would have been at least twice expensive) and would care less about compatibility as it would have no competetion...

it basically means......they are working. Just because they won't release something doesn't mean they are sitting back and enjoying the flow of money. They probably did find sometihng but are just holding it as a trump card.

Did anybody know about the Link hack? Nope, all were too focused on cubic ninja hack.

lol then you don't know the chinese flashcard marked. The Gateway clones all dropped support in no time and the sky asses tried to rip off people with a 10 games-only card. They have no fix for existing cards. If they do something they will release the rainbow button edition soon to get more of your moneyz.

I honestly wish I knew about the whole GW scene ages ago before buying my N3DS. I had one of those first edition ones that came with 9.0 firmware and was pretty pleased about it. However doing a system transfer required you to stay on the same firmware update and the lady at the store decided to save me some time and update it on the spot in which the latest was already 9.8 hence losing my window. I don't know why people are really salty about different card types but at this point it's come to the point where it's like 'When God gives you lemons' situations and I and a few people can't be picky with our choices of cards. SKY3DS was the only choice although expensive as hell, it beats the odds of nothing at all. Here most of you are debating about the chips but the biggest issue with SKY3DS has always been the template. I see people posting 'thanks OP' for new game cia rips and here we need to wait as well because they refuse to give the mystery value to generate our own templates.

Which brings me to the final point, the latest last two updates didn't exactly patch any exploits, but neither did it break any either completely, which pegs me at what exactly has been added or changed.

Here you'll find the answers you seek 10.0.0-27 and 10.1.0-27

Whether you have the intellectual understanding to comprehend what you're reading is another thing entirely (I sure don't).

I have a sky3DS and I am saddened by this.

Welp; might as well make the best out of it. Once the next CFW exploit comes out (or once FE:Fates releases in US; was doing digital pre-order anyways) i'm in business.

Good for Nintendo! Stop those pirated games!

I wish I understood what I actually read in that wiki page. But everything seems so... Vague like giving name to grass strands in your lawn that only you can understand.

It's not about pirated games. You're here for the exact same reason. The exploits. If not for the games be it legit or not, people wouldn't have found the exploits for the home brew you may or may not be using.

The anti-Sky3ds AP has hit it's stride: first 3rd party game has the 1FE flag set! :o

 

[hackotedelaplaqu]

If regionfive allows romhack on the fly as smea stated, I guess we could patch the Ap flag (without breaking the signature)

Damn, what game is that? never heard of goosebumps

It's goosebumps, you said it yourself. It's probably some tie-in game with the upcoming jack black movie, based off the popular kids books of the same name.

Makes sense. I've read the books as a kid lol but I didn't think they'd stoop to the level of making a game out of the movie. Game based on movies never turn out good. I wonder when they'll ever realize that..

i presume that would just be redirecting the romfs, the AP flag is loaded from the carts header settings, not the romfs i.e before the files are even accessed that check would have already taken place....if there is any way to bypass it i doubt smealum would go out of his way to do so being anti piracy and all that

if they can turn a profit on it i don't think they care if the game is particularly good or bad, usually basing a game on a movie meakes it much more restrictive as you generally have to follow the story of the movie

Like the abomination that frozen was for the 3DS?

like the abomination of anything branded with frozen....lets play bejewel......errr i mean "frozen"

That's a tradition as old as the video game industry, of course they will do it if there's even a slight chance they'll recoup their money

Never is a strong word. After all, Goldeneye, Blade Runner, The Warriors, Ghostbusters 2009 game, Chronicles of Riddick, Die Hard Trilogy, and a few of the LOTR games were not only not crap, but they were actually pretty good. But for every Goldeneye, there's 10 E.T.s, so odds are certainly not in their favor.

Everyone, region five/ ninjhax 2.5 is the answer.
