I wanted exactly what Gateway advertised was coming soon, though time has proven they clearly don't have the capability. Sky3DS have proven to be the real professionals, I wouldn't be surprised if Gateway is just a 12 year old kid working in the computer lab at lunchtime.

I just don't get how they've had ppl beta testing the shit for like months now n they've released the old 3ds 3.0 as a beta why can't they release the n3ds support to us as beta

Maybe cuz the basic functions aren't fine tuned enough for practical use yet? I don't know.

There was probably a percentage of failure launching the exploit that they were concerned about. That failure could have the n3ds rendered a brick or .......mii-less....

Just my take.

software-wise that's certainly possible. But I'm pretty sure you'll need an adult somewhere along the line to manufacture the actual GW cart and distribute it to retailers

Those are some rich ass 12 yr olds I must say.

That's called greedy. Not the same thing as unprofessional. Like a rich business man can be greedy and professional.

It wouldn't make sense not to put a limit on the cartridge, they have a monopoly in the n3ds market, gateway clearly aren't or won't be a competitor anytime soon. I think it's extremely generous to now offer a blue button version that doesn't have to be cracked, they didn't have to do that...

From a ui perspective having to flop through a whole library of games is kind of terrible... From a standpoint of effort I think it's quite clear who wins if anyone is asking. Finding exploits is hands down harder than brute forcing hardware...

Effort doesn't count for anything in this world, it's about results and Gateway don't have any for the N3DS, lol...

Well they did a lot on the firmware modification/tweaking side which Gateway has but sky3DS doesn't. In my eyes, being able to modify the core of the 3DS is a bit more impressive than making an FPGA which emulates a 3DS cart.

I agree that they don't yet for the N3DS, but what they've done with the 3DS is stellar. So stellar that no one here could do it (unless they are part of the team).
I guess the best way to judge a company is in their actions... So far gw's actions seem to display better skill, which hopefully translates to future updates.

Not even an FPGA, Sky3DS seems to use an ASIC.

How did you guys get little titles under your names o_o

... Define "title"

look under you profile settings

I think she means like my CitrAGB/Fire Red Disassembly guy under my name. IIRC it's under your user settings somewhere.

Got it, thanks ;D

Been away for a few weeks. Still nothing from Gateway, jeez. Think I'll give it another week then head to Sky.

Give it more than that, remember that the console isn't even out yet
