That makes perfect sense. You said you've read theories. That's what this thread is about. Discussing. I see no harm in discussing possible theories.

Alright. I'll wait. But I'd appreciate it if you stop acting so condescending to others. It brings people down.

well clearly after i stated " I WILL POST WHEN I KNOW MORE"
and yet you continued to ask

It doesn't say "discuss theories".
Ofcource if you want to share theories go ahead.
No need to call Pong anything if he just is very clear on his stance.
I didn't think it was condescending at all, in fact i am a bit annoyed by your pushiness :P

He could've used a better tone:

"GOD. Ugh" "You could've done this!" "You should've..." etc. I don't appreciate that kind of thing.

Thats true but if he wasn't going to discuss the theory then there was no reason to mention it at all. By the time Devin confirms it, it will no longer be a theory. It will either be correct or just plain wrong. How will he tell us a theory then? A Theory only becomes a theory when it isn't supported by facts yet. So he's waiting for the facts before he tells us his "what he thinks?" Im just saying, theres no harm in saying it as long as it doesn't start a flame war. Spotty Conjecture and speculation is what makes this thread interesting. Hell it's all everyone's been doing anyway since no one has the card. Not trying to point any fingers but i see where Thirty3 is coming from.

Dictionary.com THEORY:a proposed explanation whose status is still conjectural and subject to experimentation, in contrast to well-established propositions that are regarded as reporting matters of actual fact.

I seem to remember Pong saying that he was very close to another group that was also making a 3DS cart (or something along those lines), and refused to say anything, and now.. no one knows anything about it, I'm guessing.

I hope this works on a Japanese 3ds. Do I have to buy a Japan Gateway to use it? I asked them this question before and never got a reply.

if you put Japanese Rom on MicroSD, you can only paly that game on a Jap 3DS
same with EUR (only plays EUR roms) and USA (only plays USA roms)

thats a good point - surely the 'blue cartridge' must have some sort of region on it - unless theres a few versions of the blue cart based on region, and they're just shipping the relevant one based on address/reseller location

A Theory only becomes a theory when it isn't supported by facts yet.

Wrong, that's a hypothesis (which is what it looks like Pong has, as he has no concrete facts about the Gw3DS hardware to support anything). A theory is supported by but has neither been proven nor disproven by facts (i.e. Big Bang vs. Static universe theories).

I hope this works on a Japanese 3ds.

He was asking if the cartridge itself could run on a Japanese 3DS, not whether or not it could roms on a console with a differentiating region.

The last information I got from Gateway 3DS over a E-Mail is, that they are "shipping in about 4 weeks".
Until then, keep calm and relax :P

I actually have a japanese 3ds that's why I asked the question.

I just got the email that gateway is region free as far as putting an American gateway on my Japanese 3DS console. I know the games are locked.

Yeah gateway itself isn't region-locked... just the roms.
