Here is the update news from the gateway 3ds official site 11/07/2013 Official opening of pre-orders ! Gateway is please to announce start of manufacturing and the opening of pre-orders. We expect to roll out the first units to resellers within the next fortnight. Please pay special attention to the following critical information regarding our current software development phase. 1) Yes, we are exploit based (Yay !?) and therefore very dependent on console firmware version: Our current plan is to release for firmware version 4.5 while continuing work on a solution for 6.x + after release. (please see note below) 2) Gateway will be shipped with 2 cards, the red Gateway shown in our video, which will handle 3ds backups, and a blue ds cart which will be used to prepare the console. ( more demo videos showing save game compatibility as well as setup procedures to follow soon ) 3) Your console can be safely updated to 4.5 by using an original title released after March 2013 till current. Please double check the update message (version) before proceeding ! Note: We currently have a very convenient and user friendly way to enter into our Gateway mode, while this entry point has been tested up to 6.0 we expect it to be shut off shortly after we release. We can not stress enough the importance of staying away from any further updates! ( 6.0 compatibility is only valid for our initial entry point, as stated in point (1) we currently only support firmware version 4.5 )
3ds firmware has been updated to v6.0.0-x, but gateway 3ds at present just support v4.5, really hope the problem fix this problem soon.
the release date delay, and only support 3DS v4.5 not good news i think. but who knows, we have to wait until the gateway 3ds released
gateway 3ds can only support V4.5, hope the new cards come out to support the latest system of 3ds. and currently, if your 3ds is v6.1.0-11, you'd better buy r4i gold 3ds, this card is very popular, using wood firmware and updating quickly, I bought one last week, this card now can work on 3ds v6.1.0-11 directly, it works great. and you can check here http://www.modchipwarehouse.com/r4i-gold-3ds-flashcart-for-3ds-xl-3ds-dsi-ds-lite-p-1.html
most of the 3ds users are at 5.1.0 or higher software now, and the gateway team dont actually give a release date yet. I wont grap one unless it can work on the newest 3ds firmware. And it is only able to run 3DS roms, DS roms are not supported, when it comes to these things. R4i Gold 3DS card is always needed, at least I can play ds games on my 3ds xl.
