Hacking (PSA) Stop the Gatehate

[pastaconsumer]

I give Gateway credit for making my experience with my 3DS better. I could download a .3DS file and skip converting it to .CIA. It was truly quite the time to be alive! rxTools existed before I obtained my Gateway, however I wanted the ease of use of Gateway. I used my Gateway up until a few days ago. I'm still debating what I'm going to do with it. I give Gateway a lot of shit when talking to friends, but it fulfilled it's purpose and at the end of the day, that's all that matters.

TL;DR: It's an ok device.
EDIT: Worth noting though, it's not worth using nowadays. Custom Firmware and A9LH have surpassed the features of Gateway.

"ok so, everyone talks about throwing their cards awy or burning it, but isn't that a little extreme?" Sounds like someone can't take a joke. Next point.

Nintendo isn't a flashcard company last time I checked. They're a hardware and software producer that blocks illegal software. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. However, Gateway bricks users because their cards aren't made by the almighty one-and-only Gateway. There are thousands of flashcards and some of them will be clones. How is it the end user's fault if they don't know they bought a clone card and end up with a 200 dollar brick thanks to Gateway's narcissism?
Stolen code. They take months to release a downgraded version of a free and public exploit. Custom firmware, arm9loaderhax, you name it. Out of the two things they actually DID develop, they're still scum for charging for trash.
And often times you can't back out. EVEN WITH A HARDMOD your console will be married to Gateway unless you manage to get Decrypt9 working with a pre arm9loaderhax backu

are you talking about the guy who said he couldnt use his hardmod with GW a9lh and how it was booby trapped and shit, then he found out his hardmod was just faulty

and people should always have nand backups anyway, every guide ever stresses the importance of making nand backups.

When you realize that the gateway method of doing things is:

A) Objectively inferior
B) Closed source and possibly bricktastic and
C) Stolen code

Come back and wake me up here. They've done nothing for the scene lately and have only served to create further misconceptions.

Yes, they found some of the original exploits. Should we continue buying from them? No.

Many of the CFW people all know much better than them at this point - and they've discovered much more than they EVER contributed than the scene. Supporting Brickway is equivalent to liking half broken products.

If you already own the hardware, I won't criticize you since it was the only option at one point. Might as well use it.

Precisely.
Oh except for one thing, and I'm not supporting GW at all, I WILL HAVE ALL THE GATEHATE:
Gateway has developed 2/3 existing public arm9 exploits, and the only two that are software based.

Um, A9LH?

 

[chaoskagami]

Um, A9LH?

Yeah, his numbers are off. If you count ntrcardhax, arm9loaderhax, memchunkhax, svchax, et al the majority were discovered by users, not gateway.

 

[Swiftloke]

A. Oops.
B. I said developed not discovered

 

[chaoskagami]

A. Oops.
B. I said developed not discovered

Changes nothing. Gateway didn't develop them first nor discover them. Point stands.

EDIT: Let me also refer you to here - https://www.3dbrew.org/wiki/3DS_System_Flaws

 

[GalladeGuy]

Which one of those were either discovered OR developed by Gateway?

 

[Swiftloke]

Which one of those were either discovered OR developed by Gateway?

MSET and firmlaunchhax

 

[chaoskagami]

MSET and firmlaunchhax

Yeah, that's two exploits, neither of which I listed as 'non-gateway'. There's more than seven I can count, not 3, which leaves us with a gateway ratio of less than 1:2.

 

[CreAtor135]

Another Gateway band wagon thread. The same played out "can your cfw do dis".

Or "LEAVE GATEWAY ALONE!!". Blah blah blah.
Another one ignores the op
Threads like these help nobody. It actually adds fuel to the fire.

 

[GalladeGuy]

MSET and firmlaunchhax

Which one of those were either discovered OR developed by Gateway?

And Firmlaunchhax wasn't made by Gateway either.

 

[Swiftloke]

Yeah, that's two exploits, neither of which I listed as 'non-gateway'. There's more than seven I can count, not 3, which leaves us with a gateway ratio of less than 1:2.

What, arm9 exploits? I count MSET, firmlaunchhax, ntrcardhax, and a9lh.

 

[chaoskagami]

Okay, whatever. I have no clue where these numbers are coming from now.

 

[GalladeGuy]

What, arm9 exploits? I count MSET, firmlaunchhax, ntrcardhax, and a9lh.

There are two made by Yellows8 that were patched on 5.x, along with 1 that was patched on 3.x and one that was never looked into that would be patched on 5.x.

 

[Swiftloke]

There are two made by Yellows8 that were patched on 5.x.

Oh, right! I forgot 2xrsa and that other one noone ever used.

 

[GalladeGuy]

Oh, right! I forgot 2xrsa and that other one noone ever used.

There are even more, all discovered by Yellows8.

you deserve a cookie.

and i took a look at menuxhax btw . https://www.3dbrew.org/wiki/Multi-threading#GetProcessIdOfThread



documentation helps

multithreading helps

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

menuhax is very interesting considering svc calls are the majority of the exploit
