So why would they have told Gary that it's coming in a few days if release isn't even "soon" yet? Something doesn't add up, one way or another

Yeh, I know it appears they've been having trouble with getting N3DS support but like I just wish we had updates

GateWay implemented this intentional bricker to make sure people can't run modified Launcher.dat files.
Based on what I have read, you're fine as long as you make sure your Launcher.dat MD5 is exactly the same as the one they provide on the download page.

However, yes. There have been reports on consoles bricking because of the GW brick trigger. As for un-bricking, I am unsure, sorry!
It is a legitimate concern. (in my opinion)

If you're looking to play region locked games, you'll need the GateWay (or an original 3DS + Sky3DS + RegionThree Launcher exploit).

At the moment, GateWay do not have a public support for N3DS. Sky3DS do, but it is region locked.
So you'll have to decide what you'd prefer to do.

In a quick way:
GateWay:

• Pros
  • Bypass region lock.
  • Homebrew support.
  • In-system menu to launch games.
  • Multi-rom.
• Cons
  • Only original 3DS systems with version 9.2 or less. (subject to change!).
  • Potential brick for invalid/custom Launcher.dat files.
  • No online or eShop support.

My review on GW is hopefully accurate. Based on my experiences + finding with GW.

Sky3DS:

• Pros
  • Works on all systems to date.
  • Works on all firmware versions.
  • Multi-rom (blue button version).
  • No risk for bricking.
  • Online + eShop support.
• Cons
  • Region-locked (unless you use the RegionThree, of course on orignal 3DS systems only).
  • Pressing a button to switch roms could become tedious.

For the Sky3DS, this is based on my finding on the card. I will more than likely order one in time to come and properly review it.

I'm trying to keep you with an open mind... In some cases, it might be good to just get both. XD

I have some to add

Pro GW

Drag and drop support of .3ds and .3dz files

Cons Sky

Needs own software to write games to SD card
Needs template which the Sky Team needs to update for newer games.
Will need to update template with header if you want to play online/reduce chance of ban.

This part isn't 100% correct, you can play online with gateway but you must use Private header files

Yeah but after gary's 72h prediction failed, gary himself said that GW contacted him again and they told him that they would make an official announcement soon....

 

[PerroDS]

It is really clear now that all those responses from the holidays were about the old 3ds and 3ds xl only and had nothing to do with new 3ds xl...
After this mail, the possibility that they don't have a valid entry point at the moment and that they are still looking for one is really very big...
I mean some days ago they sent a message to a guy that uploaded a video of new3ds crashing on the web browser... Then gary says that he was told by them that they will make an official announcement soon when we were all thinking that the next move was to release support. Then they respond that they can't give a time frame soon.... This is getting worse every day...

Thats what i think, they have all prepare but is no entry point. If they release anything about n3ds many people gonna start to demand more support for the latest "backups" and that is open the gates of hell.
They have something, but is not good enough, and a in long term dont justify the addition of the support of N3ds

I think he actually stated everything would be completed by the end of February which seems extremely optimistic. I'm starting to side with the skeptics and say that GW is simply stringing everyone along to delay the purchase of other carts. It's a shitty thing to do to customers and potential ones, but we're dealing with flashcart group here, one that went to slightly-extreme measures to protect their creation before.

Yeah and if this is actually true, that they don't have an entry point, it means that none knows when and if support will be coming out...

 

[magypsy3]

Now that I got my 9.0 N3DS XL I'm in this boat too!!

Can't wait!!

Soooooonnnnn just around the corner as always enjoy!

Sadly, it does not look like there will be release today, it could happen tomorrow or tomorrow after tomorrow, but relax and be sure that more updates are happening over next few days/weeks with everything to be completed by end of Feb. once Chinese New Year is over and resellers are able to stock enough units for the big N3DS release.

And posted just now

As to when, no idea yet, all tho the team should be making an offical announcement soon regarding the new 3ds update.

Yes, very soon Gary. We get it, soon.

Yeah, I know. I was pointing out his constantly backpedaling as an example why this whole thing feels like a lazy ruse.

This is how I see it

 

[thorasgar]

UPS truck should be here very soon™ with my red n3ds that I ordered on 1/16. From the looks of things it will have 9.4 I was probably going to return it anyway or sell it (at cost) to an unlucky temper. Wasn't sure. I have two 9.0 units for my boys so my primary goal is attained. My bedroom TV died a couple of days ago so I I could use those funds for that.

I shall see soon™ If the Gateway Gods favor me or not.

I read somewhere that if you're using a .cia instead of a .3ds, you don't need a private header to go online and play.

Yup.

 

[MrJason005]

so, so far only red XL comes with a non-exploitable firm?
