Hacking Source Unverified: SuperCard Team is developing DSTwo+

[DjoeN]

Not sure. I do know the GBA Games available in the Ambassador program emulate DS Mode on the 3DS. Can't remember if they reboot the console though.

No the don't reboot the console when starting up or closing down.

DSTwo can release their 3DS cart and Gateway still have no support for 9.0-9.2

 

[dandymanz]

One of the mod in Supercard's chinese forum has already confirmed that the new "DSTwo+" will only support 4.1 to 4.5 when out. Expected date of release seems to be before Chinese New Year. Quite a pity that it seems if you are on other firmwares, Gateway and 3ky seem to be the only choice now.

 

[NaviInside]

if that's true, then that's a pity mine is 9.2

 

[Scorpiopt]

so at this point looks like a gateway clone

More likely just a copycat rather than direct clone, personally as long as they do their own coding, at least it's genuine competition rather than cloning, that being said.... They are kinda late to the party imo, I doubt there is that many 4.x owners still looking for a flashcard.

If the new 9.2 update does have kernel access, why not develop for that range instead of 4.5 only?
Perhaps there are missing features on Gateway's new 9.2 update.

Who would buy a DSTwo+ if it supports 4.1 to 4.5 firmware 3DS only?

If it has more features than Gateway offers, then I would have thought those who are on 4.1-4.5 now with a Gateway who are interested in the extra features that they offer.

That is assuming though that the SuperCard DSTwo+ will offer more features...if not, it is hard to imagine how a single card would be sold as has been previously mentioned, the people with a 3DS on 4.1-4.5 with no flashcard is very low.

It is basically a 2 in 1 card. With support for DS + 3DS games. So if you're tired of swapping cards on Gateway, this might be a good choice.
Anyway, if Supercard's planned release date is really next Feb, then there's a chance they could pick up a few tricks from Gateway's release (if it's really as soon as they say).

Because for develop between that range you have to know the new exploit found by gateway team

Develop for 4.5, get all features ready and get a card out. Get the name and brand out there.

Wait for Gateway to release and steal their exploit.

Hahaha so you think someone would pay another 70$ just coz he's tired of swapping cards? lol? If that was even a problem, people with original cartridges would suicide then

I really hope Supercard does their own work / development, I really do. But if they just steal from Gateway again then you are left with only one party developing the actual features and other parties copying them. That's not competition, that's a sales drain for Gateway which could make them close shop (and all other cards going on full 3ds stop).

In that case it all looks like SuperCard wants to make a quick shameless buck on the 3ds market

 

[Vappy]

Won't be much of a sales drain once GWs 9.x support drops, will give them a much larger market than Supercard can reach limited to 4.x.

This 9.x exploit will probably be reverse engineered within weeks and maybe one month later we will see MT card / R4i / etc with support for 9.x too.
So all things considered, Gateway spends all the effort and "only" gets a monopoly for one month out of it. Then all the other cards will play catch up and have the same features.


It's a weird business model to say the least, and it's all based on reputation I suppose

 

[gamesquest1]

yeah ill admit i kinda used to be like "whatever's cheapest" back with NDS card's....but now actually seeing first hand all the copying and cloning etc with only 1 team actually putting any effort in to making the stuff, i can understand why things are getting more aggressive with brick code stuff.......but i doubt the majority of people give a crap.....cant blame them as i said i used to do the whole "meh, but they are cheaper" so i can hardly take the moral high horse with people, but i do think if people shunned cloners and stuff we would end up with safer and cheaper products with less wait on features as the real devs have to spend months figuring out ways to stop the cloners rather than being able to focus on actual development

If you're already whining about the wait for Gateway 9.x support, you'll have ripped your hair out during the wait for the DSTwo+. Impatient people are impatient no matter what they're waiting for. Gateway 9.x support will be out well before the DSTwo+. This thing was just announced and we have zero details, after all.

 

[cdoty]

Poster of this thread seems reputable in that forum. The rumor is that "DSTwo+" would retain all existing features but can run 3DS ROMs. Supported system version and everything else is unknown...

This could also mean a Dingux port that actually uses the correct screen size.

I wouldn't mind actually. I would buy one if they release it with upgraded support for fw9.2 and don't cost as much as a Sky3ds. It really depends on how much you still want to play with your old NDS/GBA games.
