GW wants more customers, and if they release the update now, Nintendo will make sure that the USA and EU N3DS get patched so that you can't use GW exploit anymore. This means less potential customers for GW. Thus it's in GW's best interest to keep their exploit private for now, then release it after NA and EU N3DS are released

The exploit is already patched.

but that's for regular 3DS, I think the N3DS will have a different exploit

Logically the N3DS must have a different exploit, because if the current exploit works for N3DS then there's no need for N3DS support, we'd already have it.

They already said they support only up to 9.2, that means the exploit is patched

But if the N3DS release date is only Februray then i think it should have 9.2 fw. Some ppl who ordered N3DS recently still have <= 9.2

Whats the secret surprise suppose to be anyhow? Any speculation?

Darn!! This wait is really killing me.

Want my guess? Support for GBA_firm to allow not only the ambassador GBA games to run, but any GBA rom to run natively too. The hardware can do it.

 

[Kylecito]

But if the N3DS release date is only Februray then i think it should have 9.2 fw. So ppl are ordering N3DS recently and it's still <=9.2

If you're right, then there's no reason to delay the GW release and you answered yourself

Nintendo is definitely aware of Gateway and what the limitations are on it. That doesn't mean they're going to immediately update the firmware on AUS/JP N3DS units, but I'd expect the US/EU N3DS units to come with 9.3 or 9.4.

 

[Deleted-355425]

I've heard the update will be out this week hopefully maybe next.

The EU ambassador model was launched last week and its firmware 9.0.

Then again, maybe they just don't care since the majority of firmwares have workable exploits now. They're probably already working on their next generation portable.

 

[viral777]

how would one go about transferring the saves from .cia's over to the N3ds when the time comes?

 

[Thomas12345]

Again, the regular 3DS and the N3DS have DIFFERENT exploits. Both exploits, while different, require <= 9.2 FW.

GW has an exploit, yet to be released, which:
a) requires <= 9.2 FW, and
b) is different from the existing regular 3DS exploit

Just because the N3DS has FW <=9.2 doesn't mean the regular 3DS's exploit will work on it.

It's more the case that the entire EU batch was produced together back through November and December. Australia got the first set (my Australian n3ds is an EU model) and the rest are now waiting for release. They will all have 9.0, I bet. No idea about America though.

Mm. Seems like a reasonable assumption.

Sigh... let me try one more time. Again, the regular 3DS and the N3DS have DIFFERENT exploits. Both exploits, while different, require <= 9.2 FW.

Are you dense?

I'll make it easier.

Garyopa said:
No need to panic. Everything is ok.
Gw team confirms with me earlier this hour that New 3DS support will be from 8.1 to 9.2

All current users KNOW they can't update past 9.2. In fact, GW said so in the very first post where they announced N3DS support. As such, if as you say, US consoles do come with 9.2 installed, they have NO reason to delay the exploit, as it already works.
If they already released a new firmware (which THEY DID) and they bundled it with the new console (no way to know if they did it in time), then it doesn't matter if GW releases because said users already lost the chance of using the exploit

IS this easy enough for you to understand?

I'm pretty sure you're just trolling, this aint that hard to get

Sure, that all makes sense. What you haven't given is a sensible explanation as to WHY Gateway would delay their exploit for the release of the US N3DS. Either it'll come with 9.3/9.4 and won't work with Gateway, or it comes on <=9.2 and it does work the same as all the other N3DS units. Nintendo isn't going to update all the release units if Gateway releases their N3DS exploit between now and the US release. US N3DS units are already all but guaranteed to be in production.

i'd rather have a bricked n3ds than play this stupid waiting game

You could throw the n3ds on the floor and imagine you've bricked it via waitway now to save time

 

[Thomas12345]

exploits don't always work for different regions so GW needs the US N3ds to test it first

You could throw the n3ds on the floor and imagine you've bricked it via waitway now to save time

no by brick i mean i want to see the actual blue screen
