Zombie thread, RAAAGH

[weatMod]

What I find odd is that they replied to the ban report emails, but not to the general "Any news yet?" email

They did , what was their response?

And my PC is in the shop and browsing from ios sucks

just out of interest - what cards in the history of DS flashcarts have been blocked by Nintendo?
just curious the chances of Sky3DS being blocked...
all the GW fanbois keep mentioning it CAN be blocked, but how many carts have been blocked by Ninty in the past?

ds flashcarts work differently than 3ds flashcarts, so comparing the two won't yield much i'm afraid

iirc a big reason everyone claims it can be blcoked is because one of the super scene devs said it should be easy to block. (like neimod,oryellows8,or smea or some shit like that)

The real question is which clone carts were blocked but I think by the dsi era clone cards were a thing of the past by then
Most ds cards were exploit based Like GW and ran home brew and had multirom Menus

The problem that a Sky3DS flashcart is going to have is that if Nintendo block both the Sky3DS and the Gateway flashcarts is that the Sky3DS can't be updated whereas the Gateway can. If the Sky3DS is blocked you'll be forced to buy a completely new flashcart assuming that the Sky3DS team can work out how to get the thing working again.

Well GW is already blocked by 9.3+. But i guess you can also say that GW is not blocked because it has emunand, which lets you run 9.3+ FW. But as we saw with 9.5, it's possible for Nintendo to cripple emunand (and with GW's slowness, this is a very serious problem)

Not really, they're actually very similar in how they communicate. 3DS just has different commands. But both work by emulating a normal cartridge to the least possible amount needed, hence why most DS flash carts have been blocked.

In terms of DS carts, basically every cart in existence has been blocked except recent R4i clones, DSTWO, and a few others iirc.

But they said only for new3ds. They said emunand can never be blocked in old 3ds
9.5 was patched within hours of Nintendo releasing it for old 3ds
I have faith that GW will be able to patch emunand pretty much indefinitely on n3ds also or at least find work arounds to get newer games working if they ever require higher FW

Yes i agree if GW put their minds to it they can get emunand 9.5 working, but the problem is GW is so slow it's actually a problem. If it takes a few days to release an update for Emunand, that's fine. But if nintendo starts releasing updates that GW takes weeks or months to patch, then that's a big problem

 

[shinyquagsire23]

Seriously though can we keep the sky3DS talk to a minimum in here? It's irrelevant and just trollish.

 

[SonyUSA]

I've been thinking about this all morning, and the logic just doesn't make sense to me.

As we all know, Gateway Ultra includes a method for downgrading old 3DS's to 4.X firmware. What would happen if you ignored the instructions for choosing a downgrade pack? There's a 5/6 chance you'd download a pack for the wrong firmware. Boom. Bricked.

The N3DS method uses a Mii QR code, correct? Mii QR codes have a large "Mii" logo in the center that isn't necessary in order for the code to work. If Gateway is really that concerned about the code being used in untested regions, they could replace the Mii logo with red text that says "WARNING: FOR USE ON JAP AND EUR REGION CONSOLES ONLY!". It would be literally impossible to miss.

This theory makes absolutely no sense to me at all.

Nah, aside from that bug that got fixed, it wont -let- you downgrade because it checks your model region before doing the downgrade.

 

[shinyquagsire23]

LOL seriously? Ppl can talk about GW as much as they want in sky3ds threads like this one, but when ppl start talking about sky3ds in a GW thread, that's a problem? what a gw fanboy

Well it depends on the thread really. If it's someone considering buying one or the other, I'd say it's somewhat fair to present options to them. Or in the case of that thread, it's someone convincing people why sky3DS is the best, and honestly any thread trying to say which one is better is going to turn into a hole of garbage within 5 seconds. However in the case of this thread, bringing up sky3DS has no relevance. The thread is about when we will be able to anticipate an update for Gateway on N3DS, not which one to buy or why one or the other is better. Granted, sky3DS is a competing product and if people feel inclined to present their consideration of sky3DS despite owning a Gateway while waiting for support, that's still relevant. But taking every chance to say "lol back to playing on my sky3DS" is just purely trolling and offtopic.

 

[SonyUSA]

And the entry points are not many nor easy to find-gain access.

Actually there are tons of entry points, it's the later exploit that are the problem.

 

[SonyUSA]

I love how SONYUSA is so condescending to us with her answers to our n3ds questions.

All we want to know is which exploit you used on the n3ds and a few NEW pics of it working...

Oh, too much for us? Back to playing Sky3ds

How am I condescending? I legitimately don't know the answers to your questions. The Mii exploit I had to boot Gateway code I did not get from Gateway, maybe they fixed the issue by now? They probably don't even use that method anymore if they found a better one.

Thank you. It just seemed like you gave evasive answers...

So, this is the second time I've bricked a 3DS because I'm retarded, haphazard and impulsive. But, yeah, I tried to install a multiple stage update via cia to my sysnand knowing full well the risk and did it anyway. So, how can I explain to my relatives why I need a ride to Walmart for a return the second time? It was hard explaining it the first time. loll

Do what i did to return my old 3DS so i had the money to get a N3DS, tell them there's a screen defect and they should take it back no questions asked.
