Gateway 3DS, News and Information

[f0rCe]

haha there are a lots of resellers but a few of them are listenend in the reseller-list from gateway

One of them is teensy uk. "1st batch (of Gateway3DS) now sold out". So there have to be a lot of pre-orders! http://www.teensy.co.uk/gateway-3ds-nintendo-3ds-flash-card-cartridge-58.html

That, or it's their sneaky way of having an excuse for their customers as to why it's taking so long for the release.

So much for the fortnight. So now we have 4 days + time it takes to ship to retailers + time it takes for retailers to set up their warehouses and whatnot.

+ time it takes for them to make it compatible with 5.0 (if ever) for all the customers they told that it would work on (yes, I'm one of them)

"for shipping, it should start next Tuesday."

Matches what they sent me. Of course they said by this week, or the start of next week. At least it's better than a fortnight.

 

[Rytoast]

Yes! I believe that is called a "sennight".

yaay

Pretty sure we all have theorys, just if you openly state your theory and it fails... you look lame... So if you dont say theory when its tested and fails it can be swept under the carpet no harm done, there are a few theorys about the 2 carts, 1 being its a DS Mode cart that does a little something special to trick the 3ds in laymens terms

but still it should be TOnight.

 

[Rytoast]

but still it should be TOnight.

Ha! It should've been LAST night! Or even June 15th... Working on 5.0, with ONE card, lol. But now I'm sounding like a self-entitled snooty pirate, so I'll shut up :/

On the forty-fourth fortnight of 2014 on April 4th 4:44pm.... a fornight after that if i understand gateway's pattern. Im 4.5% sure it is.

Yeah....I totally agree you. Pre-order is just a rumor...

 

[Devin]

Awe, yeah. Some great news.

First units to ship this week !
And a quick note to update our FAQ regarding the use of the "blue" card and recent title releases:

Can the blue card run DS home brew ?
YES :- The bundled blue ds card, is in essence a standard DS cart capable of both DS backups and home brew for DS mode, tested to work on 6.1

Is the blue card required for every power cycle ?
No :- Our custom Gateway Installer DS app is only required to be run once to setup and thereafter any time the console is used in DS mode.

Does Gateway support all games:
No :- Animal Crossing uses unique NAND based save hardware in the cart, support will be added through a GW firmware update. Mario (released last week) is forcing 5.1 update. We have prioritised work on supporting all such future releases. Stay tuned.

maybe just a wishful thinking but
maybe dstwo will make their cart capable of handling that job too making them only need to develop/clone the 3ds backup solution cart

Means my review will probably come this week then ;P
I ordered one, let's hope for it to come quick

 

[Shanester]

While compatibility with future games is very important, I think their top priority is to get the flashcard to work with >4.5
I have a sneaking suspicion that they have given up with older firmwares because it is either impossible or too hard for them to figure out.

I hope they get the updating things to work through a simple flashcart update (e.g. putting special file on one of the cards and letting it run then).

 

[Devin]

Forgot to post this in this thread. Those that ordered one will receive it a bit later than reviewers. So, yep. I hope to be able to finish my review before they hit US resellers. (Depends on if they're expediting reviews, and posting production carts someway else.)

First units to ship this week ! If you are to receive a sample for review, you
will also receive it this week, a bit earlier than first production units.

 

[mr. fancypants]

so when are the carts in the stores?

 

[Rytoast]

So if I understand correctly, the blue card can be used as a DS flash cart?
