I am from Singapore and i imported 3 x jap N3DS LL on Dec after hearing the announcement from Gateway. Tell me why i shouldnt be sad..

I wish Gateway would kind of provide us with updates on their progress so far.... But based on their release schedule we seen so far. I'm guessing the upcoming cycle could be something like this:

1) 3.0 Beta (Released 9 Jan)
2) 3.0.1 Beta (Released 10 Jan)
3) 3.0.2 Beta (Released 20 Jan) [Work on fixing bug if any are reported]
4) 3.0.3 Beta [Release their secret new feature]
5) 3.0.4 Beta [Fix bugs reported from 3.0.3]
6) 3.1 [Final Ultra release for all older 3DS/3DSXL sets]
7) 3.2 Beta [Support for N3DS sets!!!]

Makes me feel that "soon" is further away then ever...

Yes that is a very realistic schedule. I hope GW would just do a beta for all systems, including N3DS, then fix bugs for the systems one by one

Again, pointless speculation. They could make the jump to 3.1 any time, and that's likely to include N3DS support. Or maybe 3.0.3 will include N3DS support, who knows. By your standard, they would more likely go from 3.0.1 all the way to 3.0.9 before releasing 3.1.

I think it's worth mentioning that the beta SonyUSA got didn't have emuNAND at all, and this was on an N3DS LL. Chances are they still had a bit of work to do with the N3DS emuNAND. After all, the N3DS has a 4GB NAND this time around, and the NAND format itself changed a bit too. Probably had a bit more work to do with N3DS, while 3DS was pretty straightforward once they had ARM9 access.

I don't think the N3DS has a 4gb nand... My SD card has about 27000 blocks available for use(About 3.35 GB) and my nand has 1057 blocks open(about 132mb).
This is with nothing installed to the nand, so... unless the n3ds system software takes up 3.9gb I don't think that can be true.

 

[Thomas12345]

oh nvm silly me

 

[Rokkubro]

Here we go, read this:http://3dbrew.org/wiki/Flash_Filesystem
The N3DS has ~300mb more nand than the 3DS

Well, they're not giving us any news now so all we could do is speculate. From my past experience working in QA, i would prefer to roll out something stable before adding in newer support. Rather than adding on support for the new system, then trying to find whether a bug exist due to the new system, or was it already there on the old system, or does it exist on both. That's my take.

But i'm not ruling out that N3DS support won't come together with that "new special feature". If they did that, i would be most happy with their decision.

Got my SKY3DS today and have been playing Bravely Default, so good!

No issues so far - going to use this until Gateway comes out so I can go online for Pokemon/Smash Bros. I quite like the idea of just a plug and play cart though.

Do you have 2 sets of 3DS? Else i don't think it's a good idea to go online while your 3DS is still on ver 9.2?

I played BD demo and got addicted to it, does it get boring along the way in the final version?

It doesn't matter to go online when on 9.2. Unless you accept the upgrading nag.

 

[Madao64]

plug and push button multiple times until game of choice is reached or cart is accidentally ejected and the process is restarted again and play cart

There fixed it for you

Hang in there! Keep hyping! Play on emulators if you must! Hang in there!

I'm going to use Sky3DS for offline games (easier to use) and when Gateway works I'll use EmuNAND to play the few online games I want to play (like Smash Bros and Pokemon)

I love this game, it's bloody awesome!

That's what held me off from Sky, there are a few future releases I want and I don't want to risk not being able to play them.

I just ordered another 3ds while I can still get <9.2 with a certainty. Not sure if I'll sell my "almost new" one yet.

 

[Rokkubro]

I have a hunch N3DS support will be released Soon™, so I'm wondering where I should get my gateway from... The cheapest official reseller is realhotstuff, though they're based in HK... Does anyone know if they are realiable or how long the shipping takes? If not, I'll just bite the bullet and pay the extra $20 to get it locally from OMC.

 

[Rokkubro]

Actually scratch that, realhotstuff's prices are in USD, it's only about $6 cheaper... Guess I'll get it locally then.

Yes, soon...

Gateway November 14, 2014

We recently reached a major milestone and now we are happy to announce that we are in the process of finalizing our support for 3DS systems...Yes, this includes 2DS and New 3DS!
