Hacking (PSA) Stop the Gatehate

[chaoskagami]

It definitely not safe for my save, GW have my save easy access from SD card, while I have to extract the save from .cia game with a program and it doesn't even show me the name of the game, I may make a mistake and lost my save back-up.

Doesn't show the name? Use JKSV. It's done that for about six months.

And I buy my GW since 2014, which CFW we have at that time? Now you tell me to throw
compare to what I already have and what I have to pay for use CFW, you can see it a big loss if I switch to CFW.

It costs zero dollars to use CFW. Again, I'm not going to criticize you, since it was the only way a while ago.

And DSemume port is a joke, it can barely run a game at this point. Compare a emulator with build-in NDS player is a joke. The solution you give is to pay more for another FC? Hypocrisy much?

What part of 'active development' is so hard to understand? It's marked 'WIP' for a reason, namely, it isn't for general use yet (if ever)

Couldn't you just delete the ticket before a reinstall in eshop?

After you went into the eShop, no.

Deletion is not easy after you installed the CIA and visited the eShop afterward. After visiting the eShop, the ticket and title id stays tied into your NNID until deletion of your NNID.

@cearp know more than I do, though.

 

[gamesquest1]

afaik tickets installed via cia files(or any other means of installing tickets locally) are never transferred to nintendo (or at least they are never added to your NNID) this is why systen transferring your NNID doesn't transfer legit cia files the tickets on your console are afaik local only, its just that nintendo had the oversight of not performing any sort of verification/cross-reference of tickets before allowing CDN downloads to make sure only real owners of a title could download it

Such a garbage threat, You guys compare a products that have 3 years old with the product recent release. With me an normal user, I didn't care who stealing who, I'm satisfied with their services until now and also enjoy new CFW.
So stop this S.H.I.T It's wasted forum rss.

Well okay but I feel it my duty to warn all noobs that using gateway:
1) can cause you to brick your 3ds to such an extent that a raspberry pi is required to unbrick your 3ds, I have tried this method and it is very difficult to set up.
2) If you use a gateway card and then use a particular NDS flashcard (can't remember which one) you risk bricking your 3ds. However, if you don't use gateway then you are free to use any nds flashcard without risk of brick randomly.
3) Apparently if you have used a gateway card in the past, it installs brick code that can trigger at any time, sometimes even randomly.
4) Apparently gateway installs garbage on the system that prevents new tweaks or CFW from operating and from what I have observed to repair the damage, you need the assistance of Aurora Wright herself on a case by case basis as she is the only one that has the skills to repair the damage done...WOW!
5) OP and supporters of gateway, are you serious?! All of these points I have read in these forums.

It seems to me gateway needs to re-brand.

literally nothing you said about brick code is correct.

Bull to you that it isn't, need I dig up the posts?

Na, why bother....

If your a noob, search and read for yourself then decide.

I like to hate on gateway, but that isn't how their bricker code works.

It's nice to err on the side of paranoia, but you're incorrect on the behavior of it.

you've basically confirmed that any experience you have is completely second hand. rumors and misconceptions about gateway spread around the temp like wildfire.
1. genuine gateway (after reimplementation of the brick code to stop supercard dstwo+) will not and never will brick
2. there's never been a random brick due to using a ds flashcart?? idk maybe you're talking about dstwo+ but even at that, blocking off usage of your gateway will not help you
3. i actually have no idea where you got this from, gateway never did this. i'm not sure how to respond, so just see number 1.

This post is so wrong in so many ways, he probably believe that the gateway card will become a vampire and kill your family in your sleep after bricking

Yeah, no crap.

1) This is correct - gateway's bricker destroys the NAND's contents and sets the size of the NAND storage to zero. The only fix is to send a force erase command and fix the size, then flash a known good NAND dump. It's not as simple as just restoring the NAND dump. However, you can also use Arduinos.
2) Untrue.
3) Untrue. It bricks at random if the gateway launcher.dat has been modified or doesn't match the checksum of the official one, and only when booted off a Gateway cart/clone cart. Meaning - don't boot launcher.dat from the cart if it has been modified in any way. DRM bricker.
4) Untrue.
5) Agreed. Drop gateway.

Gateway supporters are the trump and Clinton supporters of the 3ds piracy scene

Stop. No politics here. Godwin's Law gets invoked near instantly everywhere the second this comes up.

 

[simonli2575]

What's going on here? I haven't touched my 3DS for 1-2 years and then this happened.

 

[Kibido]

I don't support Gateway because it's obsolete as of today. Who the fuck would tell you "no, don't use a free CFW, buy a 50$ Gateway instead"? Why the fuck would you do that? Just the fact that you have to constantly pop in and out a flashcard to do anything is a reason to move to CFW, let alone everything else. I doubt anybody supports Gateway as of today, people are simply giving credit where credit is due and trying to end a stupid childish trend.

 

[mrfires]

Well, as a Gateway user I guess I'll throw in my thoughts and reason for using a Gateway.

I use it because of the convenience factor. Playing games on it is much easier than any other method. Very simple and quick. However, I bought it a long, long time ago when it was really the only practical method. It's now being used on my N3DS and works just as perfect as it always has. That said, is it something I would recommend buying today? No, not really - unless the convenience of directly loading .3ds files REALLY appeals to you (which it does for me!).

Couple reasons I dislike gateway, 1) it costs money 2) lately, their code and or techniques has been stolen from other open source developers. These developers who discovered the exploits don't see a cent. I like gbatemp but even on this sites shittiest day their is a degree of honour. Don't expect any honour from gateway.

If i remember right a lot poeple used the exploit created by gateway before the first cfw was born
nope forget that but gateway seems to work on spider and then their payload was reverse engineered and used for hombrew

too many people are misinterpreting the point of this thread and it's a little disappointing now. maybe they just read the replies, or jumped to the last page, idk. no one is trying to sell gateways, no one is trying to convince anyone to buy a gateway, no one is telling anyone that gateway is better than cfw, no one is doing any of that. i'm simply clearing the air for all the misconceptions that people have about gateway due to literally having only secondhand experience or rumors, and i'm trying to put an end to the circlejerking shitposts. anyone who comes to this thread, please, read the op. if there are discrepancies or points you don't agree with, you're free to state your opinion, but don't try to argue cfw vs. gateway blindly. thanks.

i was here since you open it i know you want to end the hate to gateway, but they deserve it (in part of course, theres no absolute true)
