[MichiS97]

Aren't the same guys behind Gateway making the Stargate, though?

Pretty certainly, yes

no, not all of them
maybe just the marketing team or some of the main team.

Just the marketing team? Like, one of the worst parts of the Gateway team?

No, NOBODY actually knows who these people are, they are just regarded as the Stargate team. People decided to make up this stupid rumor just because of how the flashcart is...Do not listen to rumors, make sure you get TRUE facts, seriously it is BS the things people try to drill into others heads..

He can tell you himself when he's around but here's one quote

Stargate is formation of few people pissed off from Sky3ds, sales/support from Gateway, and highly-skilled engineer that was scene before, then joined Datel for a while was involved with Amiibo and Powersaves and as now joined this new team as their coder, as pay is better!

The stargate domain got registered with the gateway 3ds email. You can check the domain lookup.

People crucify anything that works in similar ways and consider it a ripoff, scam, etc. To them if the exploit isn't being used uniquely it's wrong. If its functions are similar to another product it is wrong. DS Mode on the Stargate is apparently wrong too because again people want to compare it to the R4i flashcarts and what not.

It's the same thing and it costs more. It isn't "wrong", it is just very poor value for money

It was discussed before when StarGate was first announced the Whois matched Gateway3DS info, and its basically correct, there is some part of the Gateway team involved with StarGate and there is also some ex-engineers from Sky3DS connected to the new Team, (you will NOT be seeing any updates for Sky3DS anymore, so that product is dead also), and there is new coder working with the team whom is ex-Datel engineer, and was involved before with R4 flashcarts, that is helping with the DS side of things, the team is bigger, stronger, and better that before and GW supported their product for over 4 years and still might release another final update in the new year before going open-source depending on schedule for original GW coder.

If you go thru the history of GW team and those involved, they been around for long time and worked on other flashcart products, which were greatly supported for many years, I can't get into actual brand names, due to legal reasons with closed settlement cases with Nintendo during the R4 battle years that were crazy, for a team that has spent millions on lawyers, and supported products for many years, its amazing they still care as profit is not as great as people think when it comes to producing a new flashcart and production of them.

Everyone will see soon (I know a bad word to use), as more updates and features are added, we will be updating our review soon with the results of new firmware, which is looking good, our reviewer tested over 300gb of roms this weekend, and even the region-free features (when used with CFW), and ntrboot install scripts, and once its all packaged together it will be a superior product, the SG team has even an emulator coder on staff now, and there will be custom improved emulators released over next year to support GBA, NES, VC and other roms, so over time everyone will see, but you can never please everyone, no matter what is done or said.

It's not the same thing. Is sky3ds ntrboot compatible? Does sky3ds have a DS mode? Can you select 3ds roms in ds mode with sky3ds?

You missed the whole "Prices will go down" thing, does that not even matter? Garyopa even stated that the prices would go down eventually...

It is the same as a Sky3DS and a DS flashcart and costs more than both combined. Especially when nobody wants Sky3DS carts anymore and they can be had for a good price second hand. So far there are no confirmed features that make it better than owning both, and noonday really needs both anyway (so not like there's a big convenience factor having both in one).

So who would want to buy one now?

The 3DS ROM selection in DS mode fixes one really big issue with sky3ds. It's still not a perfect solution but many roms are much more convenient to handle.

I like the idea of different teams coming together.

For anyone having problems with the DS Mode Homebrew (to be more specific: DLDI/FAT/Filesystem errors): you can use the DLDI patch for the MT-Card, but it has to be applied manually per ROM: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xhnqeho6rjhop6g/ace3ds_sd.dldi?dl=0

/edit
Saving seems not to work properly with this DLDI file.

I would have just waited until the team fixed this lol.

That DLDI file was my first try. It already worked with the gateway blue card and since the stargate is a wood clone, too...

The part of the sky3DS information(so called ex-engineers from Sky3DS connected..) you stated is totally bullshit! Base on my sources from Shenzhen,China... Believe or not, you just knew nothing about sky3DS/sky3DS+ team.

Not everything you see on the internet is true, where is your proof?
