Expect an emuNAND for the new firmware with news on the update.

 

[ABGX]

Sky hasn't actually pushed updates - Nintendo has just failed to block them (again), for whatever reason.

fair enough, but theyre still around and communicating enough to say that it still works

Sky3ds is NINTENDO!

Sky3ds is NINTENDO!

I said this a while ago. They're making money off it and will release an update that seems to do nothing but months later (out of nowhere) a kill code is sent and will brick the console or card so people using it will need a new console or buy the games they like.

Of course its complete speculation but would be a good way to make them money.

I bet you spend most of your day on /r/conspiracy too.

I can see why you say that but believe it or not I don't, hate all the conspiracy theory stuff usually but just thought that this would be a good idea for any company, release a hack that they can block, increased hardware sales, get people playing games that they need to play, block hack and increase software sales (hopefully).

And in turn increase 3rd party interest

Yeah. No. If they simply block it, people are not going to magically start buying games.

Edit;

To elaborate, high game prices is probably what brought them to piracy in the first place. Unless they lower the price of games, at most they'll drive them to buying used games. Which, again, isn't a sale gained.

they'll rather buy old 3DSes xD

 

[elmoemo]

^could be right but say for example someone gets half way through a game and are gripped only to have the card blocked, I know I would buy the game, depends on how big into piracy the person is too. Deva need software sales, its why we get sequels

Then they'll export their safe and play on an older console as MrJason005 has mentioned.
I don't think it'd be a smart thing to do, really. I mean, even just releasing a way to pirate will open doors for others to analyze and perhaps build off of it, which is then completely out of the control of big N.

 

[2Hack]

Yay... No update today. But I think there will be something by 7pm est.

Just my guess since they have reason to update us on what is going down.

What reason is that?

 

[LinkmstrYT]

What reason is that?

I know this is irrelevant, but every time I read your signature, I get a good laugh out of it. xD

 

[2Hack]

What reason is that?

Hype generation?

Kidding. I was just thinking they would say that it's safe to update emuNAND, and maybe leave a side note about n3ds support.

6pm est is a regular time for them to update, so that is the justification in the 7pm est limit.

Was honestly expecting sth like 10am today, but I guess it's a little too soon since the update.

 

[Suthek]

I don't think they'll post anything today.
It's against their company policy.

The first rule of gateway: Don't talk about gateway.

 

[Vulpes Abnocto]

I know this is irrelevant, but every time I read your signature, I get a good laugh out of it. xD

We have a good time in the shoutbox.
I about fell out of my chair laughing, that night.

 

[Sonicx64]

I still feel burned out from the last Gatewait thread. I hope after this I never have to wait for another Gateway update for as long as I live.

 

[Kay|s7eR]

For some reason, I read his user name as "Herpes Volcano" :/

 

[mironicus]

Has anyone tried begging Gateway to release the update soon? Maybe they are waiting for people to start kneeling down to enjoy their superior position to the fullest as you all rely on them?

Oh, I'm sure Gateway gets hundreds of emails begging for them to release the New3DS Gateway support update and drinking their delicious tears from them.
