Why wait for US support? It makes no DAMN sense.

They aren't. They're working on N3DS support now. It's almost a certainty that they have early models of US and EUR N3DS consoles in their hands already, too. Whether support is released before or after the 13th is irrelevant. It'll be ready when it's ready, that's how they've always operated.

Yeah get it updated you mean

I think everyone has a fear of stores unpacking, and updating systems.

I don't care when they do it because I already have a 9.0 FW White Standrard N3DS waiting for me in Australia to purchase on the 20th.

Not even that (only lamestop would be such dicks, not Walmart,target or worstbuy)
But parents who are potential customers with impatient spoiled children
That is what is going to cost GW sales to updated consoles unless they get the update out SOON and not "soon"
Or maybe they have at least up to 9.4 exploit working already on n3ds and maybe are now testing it with 9.5 to see if it still works

I am buying from a scalper for the simple fact that I know what firmware it is. I always get a bit scared trying to buy things I know I will mod. The only thing I'm afraid of is that since the XL will be the only thing released in the US, that hardware mods will pop up for it before the standard size, which I will have.

• * It's confirmed! SKY3DS can support the newest update - V9.5.0-22U/E/J. (02/03/2015)

LOL Sky3DS can't be patched? Time to consider guys!

Sky3DS can be patched. That doesn't make Nintendo likely to patch it. In fact, they're extremely unlikely to do anything, as usual.

So wait for 9.6 then and keep waiting for the train to come to a happy station

 

[Slushie3DS]

Any exploit can be patched; you shouldn't act like an idiot. Any code can be bypassed; you should have a little faith.

I doubted before but now I gradually believe the fact that Nintendo doesn't want to patch Sky3DS or they can't. Oh my. My Gateway is still brandnew in the box.... sold my Sky3DS because I believe that GW is soon to update for 9.2 but losing hope and regret. What if GW can't update to support EmuNAND for 9.5 and the wait for support 9.5 take months? Hell NO....

New emuNAND releases only take about a week on average. 9.5 has no new features anyway, so unless there are some eShop updates you're missing for certain games, it's no emergency to gain 9.5 support.

 

[weatMod]

Well I see sky working on 9.5 as a good thing as a GW owner
Maybe now that the new update is out and confirmed still working with sky maybe it will finally light the fire under GW's ass to at least get some info out if not a release date or a beta or something,anything

 

[thaikhoa]

The devs that said Sky3ds can be blocked said all it takes is one line of code. I wasnt the fool that made the statement.

Seems that, that line of code is really hard to code and those said developers need to be employed by Nintendo lol

I certainly don't believe that, but it's irrelevant. Sky3DS and Gateway both have the possibility of being killed by a firmware update. Do I believe either will be? No. And if they are, it won't be for a good long time. So it simply comes down to whether you want to use all the features of a Gateway, or if you're okay with your flash cart just being a multi-ROM launcher. Pick one based on whatever criteria you measure a product by, and don't worry about which one other people might choose.

 

[satel]

No, the reason people sarcastically say it's as if you guys are paid by sky3ds is because of the frequency and vigor with which some people post about how sky3ds>gateway.

To put it simply many people on here post like shills, it's just they are likely shilling for free.

to be honest i did not notice this as most of us are gateway owners & some of us are waiting for the n3ds update but what i have noticed is some gateway fools attack sky3ds or anyone who mension the word for no reason like if they're possessed by evil or something & wishing with every update nintendo releases that sky3ds is blocked. they're not right in their heads simple as that.

 

[thaikhoa]

The wait could be last forever because GW doesn't want to update step by step, point to point they'd like to update for a whole thing then the new update will come then they're back to update again and again. So that, they're stuck in the loop and there will no update at all.

 

[tony_2018]

i hear more gw hatin here than sky3ds

 

[koziakauzu]

He was just talking about theory and assumed he knew how the card works. In theory many things can be done in 1 line of code.

Obviously it probably cannot be patched that easily, otherwise they would have done it already. It's not because Nintendo doesn't care as I've seen it mentioned here so many times (i.e :They fixed the exploit with 9.3/9.4, blocked previous cards before on 3DS and DSi too.) they just don't know how (at the moment, maybe never).

 

[Slushie3DS]

Comparing Gateway to Sky3DS is like comparing apples to oranges. Gateway uses exploits, and Sky3DS uses cart emulation. Once Nintendo decides to update the firmware to check the cart to see if it is genuine, Sky3DS will be as good as gone. I feel as if Nintendo is much more concerned about Gateway, seeing as how it holds many more features, and is more dangerous to them.

Now, back to the topic.

That makes zero sense. They're always coding new updates and then releasing them, so that means they never release updates?

OK, then just wait, right? I'm waiting too.

To be frank, I've only been on here a few weeks and I can already recognize certain people who aggressively fight for one side. And I can recognize many more people who relish every opportunity to either put down gateway owners and/or gateway (the company) than the other way around. I'm sure this was more balanced in the past but with sky3ds supporting N3DS for the time being it has skewed decidedly to one side.

There is a difference between arguing in favor of a product over another, then there are trolling shill-like posts. Sadly there seems to be way more of the latter in regards to pro-sky3ds posts in the last few weeks.

I'm a GW owner for over a year and I hope sky3ds never gets blocked as competition and the availability of an alternative in case GW support falls through for N3DS should be extremely important to all users on here.
