I'm starting to doubt the support might ever come within the next couple months or even years. Perhaps they originally thought they could downgrade the N3DS. I severely dislike the lack of transparency on the whole situation from gateways side.

because you have to wait a few more weeks for n3ds support, hey, even 3 months, who knows - you start to worry about YEARS...??
i honestly feel lucky i do not get worried about the same things as most people in this thread, just thinking about gw day and night...

It's not all about piracy tho. A lot of ppl here bought GW for more than one reason. I have a copy of cubic ninja that I enjoy using, so when I update to 9.4, I lose capabilities to run homebrew. EmuNAND allows me to be on the latest fw in emuNAND, while staying on 9.2 in sysNAND

Some ppl are also into the idea of backing up their games, and converting them to .cia files. We can't to that with QQ, or through Nintendo. What do you want us to do?

QQ will offer .3ds rom support. that is a piracy machine. You don't even have the ability to dump games, saves or NAND. Let alone emuNAND.

GW is the most dev friendly flash cart. The most legal one as well, since it's not all about piracy.

VinsCool would be disappointed in you :P

Stay strong brother.

I agree GW is the most dev friednly flash cart but can't agree GW is the most legal one. Aren't all the roms in the internet are made by GW (by users)?
Because sky3ds or QQ cannot dump games right?
Its like GW making and selling drugs and sky3ds just selling drugs. They both are bad in terms of piracy. (Good for me though)

Ye it does, it's cheaper than buying a second console, and more convenient. It is also a kernel exploit, that isn't limited like ninjhax. Also backups, cia, and emuNAND :)

... sure. Just like everyone who installed CFW on their PSP, bought R4 cards and used the Letterbomb exploit on the Wii's.

For every individual who justifies using a piracy card for some kind of pseudo-legal use, there's a thousand that take advantage of it's actual purpose. I'm a dirty pirate so i'm not fussed about it all but there's a very small user base which uses their Gateway for what you described.

I think i'm the only one who thinks about GW day and night and has still not lost hope!
The train is coming my friends, you CANNOT lose faith in Gateway; We must smite those that do not believe for this is the ERA OF GATEWAY!!!

Wait.....then how did they dump them????

I believe I remember seeing a photo of "dumping hardware" when the first 3DS ROM release went public; and there was an FPGA development board in the photo.

I'd imagine just dumping a 3DS card wouldn't be too difficult--particularly if you had the right hardware. I'd probably start by connecting a logic analyzer between the 3DS and a game card and analyzing the intercept logs. Electrically, it can't be too exotic. I'd assume the real difficulty would be at the protocol level; that's where the logic analyzer becomes useful.

Of course, I could be imagining all of this, and even if I'm not, the "dumping hardware photo" could have been fake.

It's easier to just say "magic!"

EDIT: look a few posts down here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/the-first-3ds-rom-is-released.295843/page-3

There's an Altera FPGA development board, a logic analyzer, and a homemade PCB board to help intercept signals to and from the 3DS game card. Although there's also a DS lite; maybe the photo shows their actual dumping setup (or part of the research setup that led to their dumping solution), maybe it's "fake". Dunno.

EDIT2: This is offtopic, but isn't the topic of this thread sort of "offtopic"? It's interesting to read so many posts bemoaning the early death of the 3DS. They were right, though. After June 5th, 2011, not a single decent game was ever released for the 3DS. Right...? :D

YEAH! WHERE'S GARYOPA WITH OUR UPDATE?
 
Lol still waiting patiently but looking at this nice white N3DS everyday with nothing to do on it is frustrating haha. I thought about pulling the trigger on a sky3ds but havent yet. Though for reference, since sky acts like an actual game cart...how do saves and such work? I have a legit 3DS and gateway 3DS, I am interested to know if the sky3ds works completely like retail carts as far as saves, data management, etc or does it save on the card thats in the sky3ds? Sorry, just kinda curious at this point. If it saves on the cart, could a sky3ds be used on my legit 3DS that I use for eshop downloads, retail carts, etc without having to do anything special? I might get one if I can just plug and play with it on any system without having to worry about internet connections, erasing stuff in data management, and any of the other stuff that goes along with gateway.

Yeah.. you can download the updates from eShop.. Saves the same afaik.

The thing about the saves... if you want to back up a game. If you want to back up a game like mario kart.. you can back it up, delete it from your list, and then save it back, provided you put it back on the same SD card, and the SD card was NOT formatted afterwards...

If its a game like Tomodachi Life and Pokemon, you can save, back up the game, and the game takes the save anywhere.. its a NAND save I believe its called.. you can back it up and write that specific rom that was backed up onto any SD card and it will retain the save.
