Teensy.co.uk are definitely not frauds my friend I have purchased goods off them in the past many times before and they have always come through, infact I would go as far as to say they are one off the most reliable and best online sellers for the UK. Don't panic at all, you will get your card just give it a little more time or they will be in touch trust me :)

This is standard practice when buying "grey market" items like modchips and flashcarts. Companies often use "fronts" to avoid financial blockades etc.

Perhaps the item you ordered was just back ordered and thats why it's still "processing"

I ordered from eachmall, and I had to convert from USD to CAD, which increased the price by almost $10, then tenpay (The method I used to pay for my Gateway) charged an additional $3 for the transaction. It's not uncommon for this to happen, however, unresponded emails and Facebook posts are not common. They should usually be there to help their customers with their purchases.

Teensy have pretty terrible customer service but are definitely not fraudulent, it's rare that they post on facebook or reply to emails lately.

With Teensy, if the item is in stock, you tend to get it within a few days. If they have to wait for the item to arrive, normally from the manufacturer, it can take anywhere up to 2 weeks.

Ordered from Teensy last week, still stuck on processing. After finding their facebook page full of customers complaining, i emailed Sky3DS who then replied and forwarded my message to Teensy, asking them to sort the complaints. If I hear anything I'll post here.

Same thing for me for the Price increased in realhotstuff. But since they remove flash card. I hope to get refund. Or having the unit ship.

I've ordered a Gateway 3DS from Teensy on 17th January and it's still stuck on processing. They didn't answer to any of my emails, so i emailed Gateway, because Teensy was on their resellers list (it isn't anymore). Gateway replied this: "i heard they start sending orders again. We removed them after many complaints. And we emailed them as well directly to push them to give better support to clients."

I can only hope they send it to me someday...

I ordered on the 14th and eventually got mine a week later!

Interesting to hear that Gateway have removed them from the offical resellers list. Wonder how much that will affect them? Goes to show bad customer service can hurt your company

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
