I actually run my own business, and I'm not about to speculate how much money GW makes, how many people are involved and how much work they collectively do. What I am interested in is speculating the relatively quick release of N3DS support based on what we know (which is very little)

And based on what we know, and based on what we know of their terrible business practices, if I were a betting man I would say "support is still months off" is comparatively the safest bet you could make in this scenario, among competing bets.

i dont disagree, i totally think we have a lonng wait ahead of us, my point was, what they do works. their intention isnt to please the people, its not to make flashcarts because its what they like to do, its to make money, and it works. Also, sorry, didnt know you owned a buisness, most people work for someone elses buisness.

th
i see your point, still not as much work as updating at a normal rate, replying to emails and questions, and posting updates on progress, like a normal company would, but they dont, they right 1 paragraph every 1 to 2 months saying they released software and it added a feature (plus the reverse engineering), then ignoring everything else. But i still love gateway, no one can do what they do, because the other flashcarts are different, and dont need updates as they are straightforward with 1 feature... play a rom.

they also run an illegitimate business and are not your typical company...probably from China

I can definitely see it from the perspective of capitalism, and I think there are several good reasons why it's in their best interest not to reveal the true nature of the delay, which I have speculated on previously in this thread

But just because I can see why something is happening does not make me very happy about it, especially since I (rather stupidly) already bought into their scheme... I contemplated returning the card but ultimately that would just hurt the reseller, not GW.

The only thing I can do is complain. Don't take that away from me ;)
 
Not a fan of the sky but I would put a small LCD on it and two buttons to go back or next...
but then it would cost more than 10 USD to manufacture and that's not good lol

Gave in and purchased a sky3ds. Any idea if I'll be able to move the saves from games played on the sky3ds to a future cia install via gateway? TIA.

it would be cheaper for them to build in a ds mode card and have a button to switch between booting ds and 3ds mode, then write a homebrew rom manager GUI that runs in ds more and switches the rom , probably it will still be faster to reboot the console between modes to switch a rom than to use the button to cycle through a list of 20 games
 
MINE!!!

Thanx 2Hack for your suggestion. I bought it off Ebay :) There were ridiculous prices on ebay.com and ebay.co.uk, but found a seller on ebay.it who agreed to ship it internationally :) Paid €10 for the game and €13 for Registered Airmail delivery to my place :)

After reading this
i literally just found one from eBay.it for €9 and €11 postage haha
thanks so much!!

why not build a special robot arm sticking out the back of the cartrdige that is loaded with micro sd cards and switches based on the menu?

Hey Vulpes why does the thread of the Announcement have a poll but we cannot vote?
I wanted to vote for the Blood of Herpes Volcano. :(

I know people wanted a 100% no-trolling thread....but I couldn't resist just a little bit.

I wish the poll worked with the thread locked, too.
