All homebrew scenes began this way.
True, just being honest about it. More possibilities for CFW and region-free are always welcome, but there's really not much too get excited for in the way of actual homebrew on the 3DS. So many devices out there are more powerful, more accessible, and much better established in that regard.

Not to rain on anyone's parade, of course. To each their own.

True. But still fun to try out.
Getting almost as excited as first PSP cfw was made.

They have till the end of the month for me and then SKY3DS here I come. I don't play online so im not worried about it being blocked.... To bad Realhotstuff closed down, I need to find a new supplier.

But you'll worry if Nintendo block your 3DS for going online, so you can't update your firmware, and future games coming with the need of a new update (for exemple Mario XXX asking update 10.2), then you'll be stuck and just be able to play "old" games, but not the new one. :(

So gateway strategy is to wait until everybody buys a sky before announcing anything?

If he gets a sky none of that matters.

1. He said he doesn't play online, so he's not likely to get banned

2. He can update from a cart if he needed to

Nope, I don't even need the eshop..... Don't care if I don't have emunanad and il just stay on 9.0.

My problem with gateway is communication, god I hope Krikzz(Maker of the Everdrives) one day makes a 3DS cart when Nintendo releases their next gen handheld. Gateway really needs to learn from Krikzz and how he conducts his business. Gateway literally has the worst communication I have ever seen. They should give us a time frame so I know if I should buy a SKY3DS, I given them till the end of the month and if they haven't released the update then I will just got SKY3DS. Plus I haven't really played many of my 3ds games despite owning a launch 3ds so I really just want the flash cart for the back catalog not really future games, plus can update from cart like verycrushed said.

I might keep my Gateway as a backup but I think i'm going to use SKY3DS as my main card for new 3ds mm le but im stick of Gateway and their communication, at least SKY3DS gets their releases out.....

Realhotstuff closed down? How long have they been gone? I ordered from them not too long ago. It's a shame, they were a good site and had fast shipping.

Ummm that new website is not affiliated with them, their hk site is gone and usa is some fake scam site.... sorry they are gone.... There is a post on gbatemp somewhere. Been gone for at least a month, rumor is they were raided and their stock seized.

The new site looks nothing like the old one and what use are they if they don't have flashcarts if they were still here?

They were the best site for 3ds/ds flash carts imo, its really sad that they don't sell them anymore. They had amazing fast 3-6 day shipping, even from the .hk site.

There is a conspiracy theory that Sky3ds Team IS in fact the GW Team.
They wait til' people are irritated with their paperweight GW card and convince them indirectly to buy Sky3ds. After everyone has done so, GW releases an update, making them come back.

Double the cards, double the profit!

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.
