Zombie thread, RAAAGH

[satel]

how on earth did i go from waiting 3+ months for the N3DS update to now looking forward to SonyUSA's next video clip.

hopefully they will release the clip this weekend & show us a lot more than they did on the last one back in november.

 

[thorasgar]

why on earth are we accepting this august 14th date, I think that's ridiculous

If you had bothered to read the thread all would be clear.

The thing is, if you follow 3dsbrew site info, they have mentioned that from 9.3 onwards there is some 2nd stage ROP that is blocked (it was the GPU buffer something), it is also present on N3DS till 9.2 but since the browser in it is not the same one as old 3DS so the entrypoint should be something else.

Also I see from previous posts that there is confusion as to why old 3DS has emuNAND support for 9.5 while N3DS doesn't it is due to the fact that 9.5 on N3DS is using new encryption keys which old 3DS doesn't (if you remember few months back old 3DS has exactly same issue when on firmware 7.x, people thought it was the end but GW were able to bypass those new encryption keys after some time). However I think the delays by GW is due to their resumed work on 9.5 emuNAND support for N3DS after yellow8 decrypted the arm kernel keys due to bugs in 9.5...

LOL, I think now you're getting the entire point of this thread.

And that's why I proposed a new theory that would explain both their business decisions and lack of release to date.

 

[Random Joe]

All I'm saying is I agree with waiting until NA release and would have been quite surprised if they released the exploit prior to NA release.
I just can't picture a business confronted with a possible NA capability yelling "YOLO" and releasing earlier than the NA release.

Still making zero sense

how would gateway releasing the update before NA release effect anything?

And from a business stand point they are shooting themselves in the foot, while everyone goes and buys a working sky card.

Yesterday Gary said that the GW team will make an announcement SOON (S O O N!), any news about it?

Also, am I the only one who think that an annoucenement isn't a big news, because if they were close to release the update, they would just release it, not need to make a special announcement, a special announcement can only be to tell us "well, about the N3DS support, hum, mhhhh well... We're working on it, buuuuuut..." etc! xD I'm not feeling that good about it. ^^" But I still have hope, they'll find a way, I'm sure of it. ^^

He was most likely "guessing" than something else...

I'm sorry but didn't you pull that date out off your ass? and yes I've been following this thread.

He said soon... and then said might have news by end of Feb.

Not looking promising.

And I agree.. We don't need another announcement just to lead up to another announcement. Just admit support isn't coming, then we will all be happy.


Just remembered an email they sent me in December. I asked them if it was safe to order a gateway card now. And they responded. "Update will be out before you get it!"

what a joke
can you prove this?

If they released the exploit earlier, Nintendo would have been confident in their "fix" and implemented greater efforts to have a higher sysnand on release.
As the exploit wasn't released, Nintendo couldn't invest any time/money to guarantee a secure sysnand within NA on release. (Since there's no guarantee what/if any of their sysnand versions secure it.)

That's not true.

Are you seriously again falling for his BS just report him for baiting and leave him be

 

[MichiS97]

That's not true.

It actually is. You sir, just ran out of arguments. Actually, looking at your post history, you didn't have any arguments to begin with

If Nintendo cared enough they could have had all the NA 3ds above 9.2.

They choose not to.

 

[Suthek]

That's not true.

Are you just a troll?

How do you know what's true and what isn't?
This is a theory used to explain the current situation. Nobody knows what Gateway is doing and for some reason people are taking rumor as gospel.

Absolutely not! Besides I am told I don't have an ass.

If you have been following this thread then you know the answers, I have revealed all.

Yeah, I imagine Iwata on the next Airplane to France, barging in the Shops and updating every N3DS he sees

There's no way they could have done that since the production of the systems probably began quite some time before the launch of 9.3

So you proved my point
