This is Team Xecuter we are talking about here, I'm confident we will see a reliable working modchip from them before long.

 

[Xzi]

Not concerned about having anything in my hands right away. Quality is more important.

Hah that reminds me so much of Gateway 3DS.

One thing that is certain, is that even with delay, it may be delivered... hopefully.

 

[Skeet1983]

Soon™

I thought the 3DS Gateway company owned that trademark

Don't need another Crown3DS

Don't need another Crown3DS

Forever stuck in a 72% loop.
May they find peace in their infinite spiral.

 

[Lightyose]

Is this the new gateway 3ds?

If there are "issues with reliability" of the entry point, that means the entire system is on shaky ground. That's not something you happen to discover after you've announced the product and made prototypes. Seriously, how could they not know this? It doesn't seem trustworthy.

If it's a hardware-based attack, it's entirely possible that the setup they used initially didn't translate well to the prototype boards they designed and ordered. This is what prototyping is for, they will go through a few iterations until it's stable again

This. Stabilization is key here. Especially when it comes to potentially modifying your system's hardware to even be able to achieve this. Realistically, they should have waited on an announcement.

I don't mind that they announced it when they did, I just wish that they'd give a little more information in updates. Clearly though the biggest issue is the attention span of the community

That is also true. Still, I miss the good ol' days when announcements were more than teasers! RAWR!!

 

[ScarletDreamz]

For people that's been on the Xbox 360 scene, i can tell that you guys need to have a little more faith on this release.

I'm not really looking to get their product since I'm on pretty low firmware, but that "all" really grabbed my attention. Hopefully they really can deliver a product that will help out higher firm users.

Well at least they have more integrity than other hacker teams I know of.

Just bought pluto some more time.

Modchips delayed after softmod coldboot is announced. Coincidence?

 

[Subtle Demise]

Oh yeah, Chinese New Year, when the entire world economy shuts down for a few weeks.

 

[XDel]

Good to know! At least they didn't ship them with issues because of greed!

Probably
