Would it cause any harm to update from 8.1 on a N3DS JPN? I'd assume that'd put me at 9.4, but I don't want to chance it since the N3DS gateway update is "right around the corner".

Just want to know if updating would screw me over from using Gateway

Yes, it would. Don't update

Why on earth would you want to update your SysNAND to 9.4..? Just update your EmuNAND instead, that way your SysNAND will stay at 8.1 and your EmuNAND will have the latest supported firmware. I can see absolutely no point whatsoever in updating your SysNAND.

Oops, sorry, just read your post properly. You're better off waiting for Gateway to get their arses in gear and sort out New 3DS compatibility.

Don't

I updated mine to 9.4 out of sheer stupidity and regret it every single day ever since.

Buy a SKY3DS like I did

I think the next gateway update will be something like:

Would you rather prefer it said :

GATEWAY ULTRA 3.0.3 PUBLIC BETA
Posted on January 30, 2015

Today we present Gateway ULTRA 3.0.3 which is a shitty update that supports "New 3DS"
Most likely this will brick your New 3DS, but since you asked for it, we release it as it is.
Don't come crying to us if you brick your New 3DS
And as always, enjoy!

Yep, no other choice at this point. Although you might regret it if GW ever supports 9.4+, but it's not looking likely.

Less likely to happen any time soon, Sky3DS is his best option, but again it's also a gamble, since you never know if this blue button card can be updated in-case it gets blocked or not.

Then he can just buy a Gateway at a later date, no regrets! /cheer

Nice counter-argument, well played.

You just made me feel better.

I just didn't order it yet because I'm curious on what Supercard Team really has in mind for the next 3 weeks. I find it hard to believe they'll release something thats <4.5 sysnand only.

Yep, no other choice at this point. Although you might regret it if GW ever supports 9.4+, but it's not looking likely.

I wouldn't doubt by the time GW finds another 9.4+ exploit, if ever, there will be a CFW loader. They might have a 9.4 exploit by now but they have no reason to release it until 9.4+ comes straight out of the box which could take a year or two.

Not sure about you, but I honestly wouldn't want to buy another cart down the road. I might regret my initial purchase you would say. There is a reason there are many people taking sides on here. You think people defending GW/sky3ds own both cards? They are pro whatever card they own.

 

[netovsk]

I can also sell the sky3ds card if it doesn't get blocked, it's a better choice than selling my 3ds but I believe there will be cfw loaders by then making gateway obsolete.

... but why not? If it's for pure piracy (which most Gateway/SKY3DS users use their carts for) then it's a darn good investment of their money. There was a huge gap between the last Gateway exploit.

You pay around $100~ for the SKY3DS card if you're on 9.4 and you have a catalogue of hundreds of games accessible as soon as it's in your hands. Let's say Gateway releases another exploit in 6 months (wishful thinking) and by that time you've played 30 3DS games on your SKY cartridge, you've essentially paid $3/game to play them. That's effin' awesome. Plus you can sell it/it may work on later firmware versions.

Even if you have to spend another $60 down the track for a Gateway card when you can actually use it, you've still gotten a really good price/enjoyment ratio out of the previous card.

I've owned a Gateway for ages waiting on the N3DS update, it ain't here yet - I'm getting something that works. I'll use both and if you've got the cash you may as well get both. Equally awesome cards.

So, this isn't much, but I modified the frame.html part of the exploit for increased loading speed and stability. Here you go -

The butthurt is real here.

"OMG my Illigal Piracy Cartridge isn't working when they said that they would make it work"

Seriously, sometime people actually need time. Don't you have better things to do than posting about how much you want the update to come out and that you should totally buy sky3ds?

School/Work anyone?

Also, I would by far prefer a complete product launching later than a broken product now. Just go look at AC:Unity.

Well.........you gotta admit though, some of AC Unity's bugs are real funny.

At this point I feel a better investment is to sell the 9.4 3DS and buy a 9.2 or N3DS (once GW releases support. How much would you lose in that trade? Probably a lot less that the $100 it costs for a sky3ds.

To me personally I find buying the sky3ds right now a waste if a 9.2 3DS is easily obtainable. If you absolutely must keep your current 3DS than sky3ds is the only option, but if you can part with it you will save money and end up with, IMO, a more complete package in GW.

If you have N3DS and cannot wait sky3ds is also your only option. I would recommend the sky3ds to anyone who either A) Cannot part with their current >9.2 3DS and B)N3DS owners who cannot wait.

So in the other massive hype thread I mentioned some things that I thought were suspicious in gateways n3ds support video.
1. The region free games they show playing are games that only require fw 4.5 or less
2. The cia file they had installed was a game that came as a bundle. Which are the only via files that can be system transferred to a different 3ds.( I know it's a diff region tho so that kinda break this theory)
3. The only game they showed that required a higher fw was a Jpn version of smash which matched the consoles region.

Probably all coincidence but still I want a God damn release lmao. Idc if it's buggy as long as it doesn't brick my shit I'm cool with it.

Yeah, saw some of what you mentioned. Seems like a conspiracy, but everyone thought that as well when people starting saying their clones bricked their systems.

As far as I'm concerned if they got the point where their GW firmware is showing the in the settings I have confidence that it will work similarly as regular 3DS's with GW. There will be a ton of pissed of people, not just annoyed about the release. I wouldn't be surprised if people try and file paypal claims or get charges reversed on their CC's citing the product is faulty and cannot receive refund.

Well I got a brand new 3ds xl dream team edition for around $100 cheaper than on stores. 100% mint no scratches no details never dropped nothing and I'm a mario rpg fan so that's the perfect 3ds for me.

Guy got it for christmas and didn't like it so I bought it then yeah It'd be spending at least 150$ if I were to sell mine and buy a new one so even tho selling mine seems attractive buying a sky3ds would seem a wiser choice even tho I'll be unable to run download-only games (region lock was also a downside until a few days ago).

Maybe that's why I regret so much, not updating would be a win-win (now I got to evaluate options and downsides) so whoever got a N3DS don't update no matter how hyped you are.

That's what I mean. You are person A (cannot part with their current >9.2 3DS). I think a lot of people could easily part/replace their 3DS, but you are in a specific situation where you don't want to give up your 3DS.

I wouldn't be that attached to a particular console (especially if it's cosmetic), but I understand people who are in category A and to them I'd recommend the sky3ds which does pretty much what most people want from GW, just at a higher price. But if you can part with your 3DS I'd recommend replacing it with a <9.3 3DS or even wait and see how GW's support of the N3DS turns out.
