Zombie thread, RAAAGH

[Suthek]

What I don't get is why people get so upset when others vent on the Internet

As a broader subject, regarding internet etiquette, I don't get it either.

That said, I don't get why people are surprised when it happens.

I think this thread has the most 'Maybe, Soon, Probably, guessing, apparently' in any forum on the interwebs....

I think this thread has the most 'Maybe, Soon, Probably, guessing, apparently' in any forum on the interwebs....

8 pages to go until we crack 400. I heard a rumor that Gateway won't release until we break 400 pages.

 

[shinyquagsire23]

So because I'm too lazy to go and read all these 392 pages...

Anything I should know while I was gone? I was too busy playing on my (old) 3DS XL with gateway. My N3DS XL came with 9.0 (While my cousin's came with 9.4...I guess I'm one of the lucky ones? o.o). Now I'm simply playing the waiting game while I play. But all I've seen from the few pages I skimmed are either arguments or butthurt people flipping their balls because N3DS isn't supported yet.

...Is everyone really that impatient?

In a nutshell, Gateway is released for old 3DS, people are waiting for N3DS, get impatient, impatient, impatient, USA N3DS release date announced, impatient, impatient, impatient, soon, impatient, garyopa gets an e-mail from Gateway saying "within a few days", starts 72 hour countdown, sky3DS trolls say it will never happen, 72 hour countdown ends w/ no N3DS support, everyone throws a fit and the mods come into the thread, everyone calms down a tiny bit, impatience, USA N3DS is released, everyone is still super impatient, impatience, garyopa gets another e-mail saying they'll be making an announcement soon, and more impatience today.

I think you're looking for the Is there any news on how soon is SOON for N3DS Gateway? thread.
That could have been concluded with a "no". Thread closed.
This is the Is there any news or rumor on how soon is SOON for N3DS Gateway? thread.
The OP specifically asked for rumors and we're trying to create as many as possible for them.

Then it's titled wrong, it should be called "Is there any news or baseless speculation on how soon is SOON for N3DS Gateway?" thread.

 

[MrJason005]

Is that so, I must be wrong then. But I specifically remember them saying that they were aiming for a Christmas release not that the release is going to be 100% before it. Then again I may be wrong but I
really doubt it.

MrJason005 would you kindly find the email saying that theyll release the update before Christmas?

erm, i don't really keep up

Anyhow, getting back to the topic at hand, GW told me early this morning they will make an 'official announcement SOON' but didn't offer any clue or hint of a timeframe of WHEN this actual announcement will OCCUR in their SOON future universe, or WHAT it might contain as in words or subject matter.

Glad to finally see a honest and valuable contribution!

Where it was posted?

And by the way, no more information than Sunday.

I think he learned his lesson from the 72 hour thing.

 

[2Hack]

all these points are moot here are facts about this entire thread:

1) The developers have been aiming for a release for the past 2 months
2) The developers are horrible at communication and have no official presence
3) The developers do send messages from time to time to contacts, however they are never definitive
4) People without definitive information are trying to give people definitive answers
5) People love to troll
6) We still have no idea at all as to when gateway will release N3DS support
7) Anything one might hear otherwise is rumor and non-definitive answers


those 7 points sum up this entire thread

so is this the new thing? summing up threads?

pls gateway. pls respond. pls deliver. pls. save us from this madness

Given that Chinese New Year is in two days and garyopa apparently got another e-mail saying there would be another announcement "soon"™, it'll probably be this week. But in all seriousness, anyone who thinks that N3DS support is impossible is obviously wrong, yellows8 has his own CFW which apparently works fine on 9.2 (and he even managed to swap his JPN N3DS to NA). Nothing is impossible at this point, it just might be tricky. 9.5 emuNAND is almost definitely coming given the leak that happened earlier, and even 9.0, 9.1, or 9.2 emuNAND is perfectly fine for now.

Now that is something I would pay money for.

I don't care about excuses. It doesn't justify a lie.
.

You have the option of cancelling and getting a refund.

I agree and I don't care about their delay because as has been said by some couple of people before "stuff happens". I just don't like ppl keep defending them at every turn blindly. They have been trying to justify everything the team has done so far . It's like it's not to allowed say anything against them. When you point out something negative about them, they rise and defend their glorious GW Team and some of them take it so far attacking SKY3DS Team in return. In the end they are both illegal flash card companies and they both suck at PR and stuff.

GW is currently the best hands down, they always delivered and they always brought something new to the table people never expected (like this time, the downgrade option for example), despite their "delays" they're delivering a quality product in the end and people know that which is why this thread is almost 400 pages long, so when I see complainers that complain for the sake of complaining, it's just sad, we're already past the Ultra delay and as we have seen once again they have released a quality update which pleased all O3DS users(and not only GW users), meaning the delay was worth it, I would side with you if they were MT card level and released half-assed updates on top of delaying every time, but it's not true, yes they're slow, but they're quality.

Well, it was only in his relocated NAND thing he has, you can't do it for the actual system NAND. And like his other CFW was supposed to be, this one probably won't be coming to the general userbase any time soon, if at all.

I always want things I cannot have.

Can we just close this topic please? Only whiners and trolls over here.

 

[thaikhoa]

Remember Lunar New Year tomorrow. Team GW is travelling back home for the biggest holiday of the year. Don't hold your breath until the end of Feb.

 

[redboyke]

In a nutshell, Gateway is released for old 3DS, people are waiting for N3DS, get impatient, impatient, impatient, USA N3DS release date announced, impatient, impatient, impatient, soon, impatient, garyopa gets an e-mail from Gateway saying "within a few days", starts 72 hour countdown, sky3DS trolls say it will never happen, 72 hour countdown ends w/ no N3DS support, everyone throws a fit and the mods come into the thread, everyone calms down a tiny bit, impatience, USA N3DS is released, everyone is still super impatient, impatience, garyopa gets another e-mail saying they'll be making an announcement soon, and more impatience today.

I think I'm one of the few ones who are calm and are all "meh" about it. Gateway will update whenever they update. Everyone wants this update, and the more they spam this, and other thread with more impatience. Eventually when gateway DOES support the N3DS, no one will care anymore.

It was almost the same with the beta Omega update. When it came out the hype was nearly dead and everyone was just like: "Oh, the update's finally out..."

Geez people, I know that people have their N3DS lying on a shelf, sitting there doing absolutely nothing while we wait for gateway. But c'mon! At least be glad you're one of the several people who can actually USE gateway when it comes out. Like I said in my previous post. My cousin and I both ordered our N3DS(es?) at the same time. And mine was on 9.0, and his on 9.4. (...Coincidentally, we even bought the N3DS(es?) online. Same time and everything.)

If you have an old 3DS lying around, freaking use that until N3DS is supported.

Otherwise you're an idiot if you either sold your old 3DS or traded it in for the new one, and are screwed until it's supported.

tl;dr: stop being impatient.
