Why is that such a priority ? Cant you just backup your saves and restore em on the new 3ds

To transfer the NNID

9.5 support for N3DS is not that important.
If your sole purpose is to do the transfer, you still have your old 3DS to play those DSi Ware titles, since those are the only onces you'll be missing out once you get Gateway in the N3DS, all other stuff could be installed as a CIA and eShop access is not that big of a deal.

If you already own them in the OG 3DS, there's no issue on having them in the N3DS as CIAs.

And that's only saying if Gateway is still not support DS/DSi games.
According to some emails from users, Gateway is working on GBA VC support, which means potential DS support too for the upcoming update.

Does the
R4i 3DS - R4DS WOOD


work on the new 3ds ?

R4i 3DS RTS works on N3DS 9.0

Others might, but that's the card I have.

Were you using a CIA? That will cause this prompt. Roms should never do this.

On my other messages, I said I double checked after and said, in fact, it only appear with retail games (carts or eshop).

Here's the message :

I just double checked. It seems it only ask with a retail game so you should be safe.

I tried with the 3DS XL of my brother (Emunand 9.5) as host and my N3DS (Sysnand 9.0) as the client and it doesn't asked me to update and the download play worked fine (and after that test, my N3DS is still on 9.0).

I suppose Gateway spoof the firmware version.

My brother also have a 2DS and Tetris bought on the eshop and it's with the 2DS that it asked me to update so it seems to only happen with retail games (it also happened with Smash Bros, and same, it was two retail carts, not the rom).

So yeah, it might be a trick to update a 8.1 system if you also have a 9.0~9.2 from the same region and a game that use Download Play.

My N3DS doesn't have enough internet connection setup so the update the 2DS offered to me could only come from the 2DS, not from the online connection of my N3DS.

To transfer the NNID

Another method. Say to Nintendo someone stole your 3DS but that you still have the serial number and ask them to unlink it, to let you use it on your new system.

just got a n3ds, what's a good game I could get to occupy me for the 4-5 months until gateway finally releases

Depend how much games you want to play, and depend how much time Gateway will take.

If they take several months, as you think, like some other peoples, I would advice you to get a Sky3DS for the wait, as it's only the price of two brand-new retail games, and it'll permit you to play to all the already released 3DS games. I would just avoid to play online personally, as Sky3DS is using a public header for games, which might get you banned (would just need to play with the wi-fi disabled on the N3DS).

Then, you can always sell it once/if Gateway release it's exploit.

 

[apoptygma]

Interesting, if updates appear when serving a retail game or CIA but not when using a ROM from gateway then Gateway roms must present themselves as running on a lower firmware. I wonder if Nintendo could use this to ban people, even if they are using privatr headers.

modchipdirect got it right

The Gateway 3DS is currently designed to work with from 4.1 to 9.2 firmware on the 3DS, 2DS and 3DS XL. The letter at the end is just the region (u, e, a, j, etc). This is not an official product, and it might not be possible for the Gateway team to overcome higher firmware versions then the one listed here. We do not sell the device claiming that it will work with any firmware not listed above and any future firmwares to come out (even if the team say they are working on it, does not mean that it is possible so do NOT order based on promises on another website. ) We do not offer refunds if you have an incompatible firmware version. ​

Can't I just say I have a compatible firmware version and return it simply because I want to? I don't see why I'd be giving modchipdirect my life story when doing a return.

 

[tony_2018]

Would really br the case the Sony USA is writing the new guide for n3ds??she didn't shows up for a long time which is unusual

Maybe because people have a life outside of this forum?

I don't think it was like that a few weeks ago when I was looking for buying a GW.

You still lose out in the end for shipping.

 

[Random Joe]

They don't take returns period. All sales final. They will however replace a defective item up to 6 months it seems.

Are you implying that the GW team might have been lying about N3DS compatibility?

Just waiting, mostly...

As it turns out, shortly after the 72-hour announcement, resellers went nuts and sent out emails because they were low/out of stock and all the new shipments were delayed for CNY, so they were throwing a fit not to release the update yet because they wouldn't be able to fill orders and would lose tons of sales to competitors. It's my belief this delayed the release of the exploit since resellers sales = GW sales. Hopefully after CNY ends next week and/or the shipments finally leave China the update should launch.

Huh? How does driving Gateway sales = bad for Gateway? They are all concerned they will lose sales to each other... but Gateway wins no matter what (the cards come from somewhere). As a company Gateway's business response should have been, oh well whoever bought stock of our cards is in a position to capitalize, maybe you should have bought more.

That makes total sense, and I wouldn't fault Gateway at all for waiting for that reason. Just have to wait out CNY, and then we should be set. Thanks for that update Sony!

I know you can't release it either or even mention any specifics, but how easy out of ten is the new exploit to implement? This is assuming you have the guide finished and everything too.

Gateway wants retailers to overstock on a ton of carts before the update drops, and then maybe not have 100% of their orders filled vs only a few at first, and then only as much as they need to fulfill the rest of the orders.
