R4i Gold 3DS DELUXE Edition or gateway 3ds?

R4ids.cn release the R4i Gold 3DS DELUXE Edition and its reseller digimartz.com has been selling the card right now.
(http://www.digimartz.com/r4i-gold-3ds-deluxe-edition-playing-3ds-games-with-r4i-gold-3ds-starter_p1215.html)

Just like gateway 3ds, R4i Gold 3DS DELUXE Edition also includes two cards, a golden card and a blue card.The blue card is just like the flash card R4i gold 3ds ( similar to gateway 3ds ) and can support the latest version 3DS V6.3, while the golden card, r4i gold 3ds starter, helps to enable R4i DELUXE Edition card have the 3ds roms function.

r4ids.cn is a great company, they always do their best to meet the players' need.Make their products better, and r4i gold 3ds is the first card to support 3ds V6.2 and V6.3, this how how good their attitude is.

R4i Gold 3DS DELUXE Edition is cheaper than gateway 3ds, and r4ids.cn is a better company than gateway 3ds company( from my point of view). So it is predictable that someday R4i Gold 3DS DELUXE Edition will take over the market of gateway 3ds

Which flash card should I buy for my 2DS

Not many people likes 2ds. they think it looks dump and ugly.But from another point of view, it is cheap and it give you personality.

2DS is just 3DS with different appearance without 3d function.That means that if the flash card can work well on the 3ds, it should also work perfectly on the 3ds with the same version.

I have tested and I am pretty certain that R4i gold RTS for 3DS ,supercard dstwo and ace3ds plus can work on 2ds very well.

Of course, some flash card have no chance to support 2ds, such as Gateway 3ds ( it might will be ), acekard 2i ( it will never be), so just leave them alone.

News for Gateway 3ds 2.0 firmware update

The gateway 3ds news was released yesterday that is 20/10/2013 

After receiving alot of emails with questions on our new 2.0 firmware update, we decided to answer some recurring questions : 

- Are you working on multirom support? Yes, we are working on multirom support. We hope to have it ready for the 2.0 release. 

- Are you working on nand savegame support for pokemon/animal crossing? Yes, we will have pokemon and animal crossing working for the 2.0 release, we will not stop until we have this working! 

- What can I do with emunand? It will emulate the system's storage and redirect it to SD, which allows you to update the "emulated NAND" to latest firmware while still keeping your system's physical NAND storage to 4.5. This means you won't need to miss out on fun things like eShop and more. 

- Will you support retail gamecards? Yes, we will add an option to launch the original firmware (with emunand support) so you can play retail gamecards. 

- Will you support saving without needing to close the application? Yes, we are working on directly updating the savegame file on SD when the savegame chip is being updated. We hope to have it ready for the 2.0 release. 

- Are you working on supporting online play? We will start working on this after the 2.0 release. 

- Are you working on supporting 5.x and 6.x 3DS systems? Yes, we have still not given up hope to support these consoles. But please be patient.

THe operation steps go as followings:

The first step is BACKING UP YOUR NAND! Second, run our SD formatter from within the GW GUI to format the SD card with a unique copy of your console's NAND. On the next Gateway boot, the console will automatically relaunch from the NAND image on SD, which means you can safely update to the latest firmware! Say hello to e-shop [;-)]

Gateway 3ds is very hot these days, and since HALLOWEEN is coming, the price is reduced to 81.9 om digimartz.com
