Actually we were, but there was a bit a confusion at the last minute as to who was going to do it, (it was originally going to be me, but since I recently reviewed both the amiiqo and maxlander i wanted to give someone else a shot). By the time we figured it out, they ran out. But I believe they'll ship one of us a copy this weekend.
Sky3ds is already obsolete. Newer games with the new anti-piracy flag will not work on them.
It will work on anything GW works on (until GW makes an update that blocks it). Nothing more or less. There is NOTHING that will do above 9.5 emunand on an N3ds.
The SuperCard team is way more reliable than the GW team IMO. This is their 3rd generation of flash card. They have a card for the GBA, the DS and now the 3DS. The SCDS2 has regular updates and come out in a timely fashion once announced. The GW's soon™ has all but become a joke. I would call that far from regular. I doubt the Gateway team will cause intentional brick again, considering the backlash they had last time. If they did it again, I personally would consider it to be intentional and malicious.
It has the same icon (Alex Rider IIRC) and I assume it will work on a DS. It also has a better onboard CPU and more ram than the original, making it a better choice.
Ahh thanks for clarifying that for me. This would most likely be great for me still have a 3ds on 7.2 and have a good replacement for my r4i gold that i use for my ds games.
Paying $40 for a clone that relies on other's work is just bad business. I mean sure, it plays DS/GBA/SNES games but guess what, you can get all that and more with a $10 R4 clone and a CFW. They may not brick consoles, but they sure as hell won't stand for copy-cat's! Either buy a GW or use a CFW - that would be my advice.
Oh the hypocrisy. Paying $70 to rip off another's hard work is worse. You're paying more to do the same. Gateway relies on other's work as well. Do you think they are the one programming the ROMs? Not to mention you tell me to buy an R4 clone (which is "a clone that relies on other's work")... C'mon man, show some consistency. BTW the SCDS2 does more than an R4 clone, as in much better emulation.
I wouldn't say he's defending the card. Just correcting information that's false. It's not a clone at all. It's hardware that is powerful enough to emulate another piece of hardware. If you play GBA on your 3ds does that make it a clone of a Game Boy Advance? There's nothing to defend really. These flashcart guys are in a 3 way arms race. Against each other and against Nintendo etc., Nintendo and Sony are in a console war with each other. Let the corporations destroy each other and in the meantime we can enjoy the fruits of their evil. Afterwards we can rebuild civilization afterward and not repeat the same mistakes lol
I agree, but without GW's research, there would be no CFW as we know it. However, it's hard to argue free. The thing with GW, SCDS2+, and Sky3DS is you're paying for ease of use. It is so much easier to drag and drop a .3DS to an SD card and not worry about cryptofix or cia conversion.
It's a bit of a cycle. Smea used GW and GW used Smea. I personally do not care where the developments came from, just that they are available. More options cause competition and more innovation.
You need a bit better than a $10 R4 clone to match a SCDS2, let alone the SCDS2+ (which has a more powerful CPU and more RAM than the standard SCDS2). Most R4 clones do not have a built in CPU that makes emulation run much better. You'll have a hard time running Starfox on any DS cart other than the SCDS2+. Even the standard SCDS2 cannot run Starfox very well.
I get your point, the DSTWO Plus is without a doubt the best DS flashcard. But paying $40 more than you would on a regular flashcard just to play Starfox is rather weird... Regarding DSTWO Plus's emulation, how do we even know it emulates the GW card? For all we know they could have taken a GW card and slapped their tech on it and decided to call it "emulation" with a fancy "plugin" which in fact is the DS profile.
