But honestly, I don't think it'll be a success, Pirates don't really like buying multiple Micro-SD Cards per ROM, and it's probably Region Locked too.

It would be handy for Homebrew, though.

Huh?

As the image in the first post say. When the flashcart get released it will have a Rom Manager.

IDK how but I heard is that you could have a big microSD and have multiple partitions with different games

That is false. It's confirmed to be a 1:1 flash cart (no OS at all), so you can't play newer games (since Nintendo will likely force an update to play them).

Also, they have said this: We are currently working to fully support back up and restore of save data.

Looks like the save files are not even being kept yet.

- Is it one microSD per game?
Currently yes.

Gateway 3DS is the world's first 3DS flash card!
The GATEWAY 3DS TEAM proudly presents the first ever video proof that many thought impossible.
Supports all 3DS ROMs to date
Works on 3DS & 3DS XL consoles

We have confirmed from resellers and original NDS flash card developers that this device is real and coming very soon for your 3DS enjoyment.

- Is it one microSD per game?
Currently yes.
- Must the microSD card size match the game size?
No, so long as the microSD card is larger than the rom size.
- Can it play games from other regions?
Currently no, however due to popular demand, we have launched an investigation into this possibility.
- Can it play Homebrew?
No.
- Are saved games working? Once you take out the game is the save file kept or lost?
We are currently working to fully support back up and restore of save data.
- Can Nintendo block Gateway with an update?
Anything is possible we would rather not speculate (As always, any system updates should be avoided)
- How big are the games and what is the minimum size for the microSD card?
Some range from 256MB to 4GB
- Can you play multiplayer local and mostly online?
Yes, but we advise not to use online features
- Do the game keep internet capacity?
Yes, but we advise not to use online features
- Is it upgradable?
Yes some aspects of the design will be upgradable.
- Can it run normal DS roms?
No, there are many alternative options for this.
- Suggested Retail price?
About $80/€65
- Availability: End of June. BUT until production has started, we are not accepting any pre-payment, therefore end-users should NOT pay until we indicate on our site that pre orders are officially open and payments from resellers are being accepted. PLEASE DO NOT PRE-PAY UNTILL WE SAY SO !
