well, they did post some news, not good news
it's starting to feel less and less likely that it will be worth an N3DS
good thing I didn't pre-order one from japan

 

[Deleted User]

very bad news for N3DS owners which also means SKY3DS is currently the best option for N3DS but what i found funny is how some fools kept saying SKY3DS will soon become useless & now look which card is useless ? Gateway without 9.5 Emunand support is useless or SKY3DS which supports sys fw 9.5 is useless ?

Sooner or later SKY3DS will be blocked by latest FW.. Stop the pointless arguing please

while it is true, the australian and japanese kids who want to play ORAS will still go for it

some new encryption shows up

I saw that but thas just plain stupid to worry about, you can transfer all your game saves with savedatafiler on the new emuNAND and all the updates can be downloaded online in .cia format without ever needing to touch eshop, all the games can be spoofed if they need it. Theres nothing to worry

At least we know why gw has taken so long

What? This doesn't explain why GW have taken so long at all.
Prior to 9.5, there was no barrier as 9.5 didn't exist to even be a barrier. This was not even an obstacle prior to yesterday.

If you're going to defend Gateway, at least use your brain.

Some people make the most bizarre accusations to blast GW. Unbelievable. Safe yourself the grief while you can, go start your own team and compete against GW. Show them how its done.

You're like the Thomas12345 of Gateway.

Pretty much. This update forced their hand as they likely would not have put out any news until they were ready to release the N3DS support if 9.5 never came out.

hmm? you can spoof card2? didn't know that

 

[DevilHands]

There's something I am worried about with the new update. Why did they say that 9.5 emunand and higher won't be supported "yet" when N3DS gateway firmware isn't even out yet??

I mean when they said "its not a definitive barrier", I understand that it will be eventually supported but the real question is HOW LONG after N3DS Gateway release?
It seems like they have hit a barrier and felt compelled to tell their consumers.

Funny how people are saying that the next firmware will block Sky3ds when it looks like Gateway is the one in trouble.

I think Bravely Default was spoofed and that a card2 game if im not wrong.

From what others are saying when GW releases N3DS support only 9.2 and lower emunand will be supported, or less than 9.4 (some confusing posts about this). It will have emunand, but not 9.5 or higher. So all that is lost is eshop and in the future (if GW cannot figure it out by then) games that require 9.5+.

 

[DevilHands]

Yep, thats what I meant. Emunand...

I havent used my N3DS yet but are there cases when games wont run because it needs a higher firmware?

 

[satel]

Why again would you need the latest emunand?

i tell you why,because without emunand support you won't be able to run future games or have latest features from nintendo's firmwares,say if nintendo releases a new feature or enhancement/fix for the face tracking 3d or micro sd compatibility or new camera feature or anything else how are we going to get anything like this on our systems if we are stuck with 9.0 firmware ?

 

[Miles54321]

Only thing i'm currently worried about is Emunand and N3DS functionality, im guessing it still worth getting Gateway for N3DS

 

[MrJason005]

I fear something like the 6.X encryption will happen again, and N3DS owners will be screwed if there is no emuNAND

That's fine as N3DS already has no issues with the facetracking for now, I can't think of a reason to have 9.5 Emunand other than being able to get updates for the latest games

You can still run online right as you can update your CIA manually and play any game that supports 9.4 emunand?

What they are saying is..... They will be releasing the N3DS gateway firmware but it will not have emunand 9.5 support. For eg you will be able to use gateway on your 9.2 N3DS but without emunand support.

Gateway N3DS gateway firmware used to be able to emunand till 9.4 but since Nintendo has updated their official firmware to 9.5... we will not be able to emunand to 9.4 anymore.

yes, you can download updates as .CIA

Theres a thing called firmware spoofing for "future games", you can also download eshop titles including eshop updates in .cia format so you should be good to go for a very long time.

Yep, thats what I meant. I already edited and added emunand. Sorry for the confusion.

Isn't there some sort of game update that requires 9.4 that you could use to get to that emunand though,

I'm sure there must be a way to get to 9.4 without skipping over to 9.5 like with sysnand or am I wrong?
