Hacking Tired of Gateway Complaints

[mr. fancypants]

LOL I'd actually prefer eBay. They take a smaller cut. Set up a Paypal, takes less than ten minutes, and you would need a bank account or debit card to attach to it.

well i live in europe so everything is + 25 euros shipping and u need a US bank account with dollars and a mastercard and i dont have a mastercard so that isnt going to work

I thought eBay had separate sites based on region...

I mean, they won't suck money from my account will they (not sure how Paypal works when you make an account)

paypal doesn't require US bank accounts, doesn't require dollars (they convert as you pay on current rates), and there are worldwide sellers. Try ebay.co.uk to get priority on UK sellers for example.

Nope, the only thing they do is take one dollar and give you a code on the bank statement, that you should input in paypal. This, only if you choose to verify yourself. And you get that dollar back. You don't have to IIRC.
And sending money to people, and receiving money from people, they want a cut. This does NOT happen when using eBay, or use paypal to buy in web stores (humble bundles etc.)

If I can get $180 or so for mine, I can get one without losing much money.


Edit: Yeah, since Paypal is safe, I see no harm.

So is there any way to block or hide these annoying and repetitive people posts? Like a gbatemp ignore option or something

 

[mr. fancypants]

well i created (a long time ago) an ignor- option in my head works always and everywhere and also its for free

click the person you don't want to listen to and click "ignore".

Then why complain if you don't even care about the card? You want to support the companies? Simple, buy the games and back them up.

What? Where did I write that I'm complaining? o.o

"I don't really care about the Gateway, therefore I find those complains annoying the most. I don't really get what functionality this card could have, other than piracy, and I understand even less why people are surprised that a company is doing its best to block this threat as much as possible. Just wait, or accept the fact that not paying for others' hard work is shitty."

Back up your own games, problem solved. Piracy is a side effect of hacking, it's been happening for years, it won't kill sales or make businesses go under. That's a myth.

I'd love to see where the team officially said that it can't or won't work with FW up to 6.2 because I just found proof that it does.

Basically, there are two exploits at play here.

One of them uses DS mode (hence the need for the R4 clone) - and the other actually loads the ROMs. The DS mode exploit will work up to 6.2, but that launcher.dat is blocked (and probably the entire method they're using to load code), so EFFECTIVELY it needs 4.5.

I never said it will never work, I'm saying it won't work with newer than 4.5 as of the time of writing.

Piracy [...] won't kill sales or make businesses go under. That's a myth.

THIS. Sick and tired of seeing people whine about piracy, if you don't want to pirate then don't do it. But don't take it out on everyone who does at the same time.

I'm confused, how is that complaining? He's only saying he doesn't care about the card because of the reasons stated above.

And i'am tired of the whole Gateway-thing...

There are so very few intresting games for the 3DS... for such a system, really only absolute bare-ass guys have to pirate. My friend got his 3DS at launch. From the 3DS launch until now, there were less than 10 games that were really intresting or must-have-titles, and i always played this titles on his 3DS. I'll buy myself a 3DS XL next month, and ONLY cause Ninty is publishing the stylish Legend of Zelda Between Worlds 3DS XL Bundle here in Europe. Just for the shelf, and maybe for some future titles that may be intresting.

If someone would donate me a 3DS XL with 4.5 Firmware and a Gateway... i had no idea what games i should put on it. In NDS times, there were many good titles, that someone who did not pirate, could have missed. But on the 3DS?!?!

Which doesn't rule out that they're working on it as we speak. No one, but the GW team themselves, can officially state that they will or won't work on 6.2.

 

[drfsupercenter]

I never said they aren't working on it.

But as far as their 2.0 update bringing actually useful features like ROM dumping and NAND backups, it's not really a question why.

It would take them a lot more effort to find an exploit in newer 3DS firmwares (IF it's even possible - like I said, the PS3 for example cannot be hacked past 3.55 which is YEARS old now), so I'm at least glad they're adding functionality rather than going dead for months while they try to find an exploit in a possibly futile attempt.

*sigh. Sorry, I myself do not see how he was complaining in any way. he was just saying he didn't care about the card... for all the reasns he stated above.

Agreed. Support for existing users is very important. I'm just surprised they made it this far.

Honestly, I do not expect them to find a working exploit for 6.x and more.
Not for being pessimistic but finding a new exploit may take weeks, months, even years. I'm being realistic. Gateway team aren't magicians, so be patient and wait!

Either do that or buy another console with an old firmware, before they're completely gone.
Ebay is your friend. U can also look for refurbished 3DS.
Also check a few stires if they git a 3DS with a 2012 tag on it.
Lasty check mom and pop shops, flea markets and stores selling sed stuff.
I got lots of these stores in my region and god knows, you would be surprised with what u can find.

 

[DiscostewSM]

The entitlement some people seem to have when they get something that lets them play the latest games for free......

 

[emmanu888]

drfsupercenter Wait so the exploit is compatible with new firmwares ? The only thing preventing Gateway mode from running is the launcher.dat that needs to be updated for new firmwares ?

I'm really tired of complaints of people complaining about Gateway.
