So my hacked Switch has been set up properly and running correctly since I installed Atmo

I run EMUNAND, followed every step of Rentry Guide, have never installed anything or even loaded CFW on my SYSNAND, have Exo and DNS MITM setup as per the guide. I also have never gone online on EMUNAND, even to update homebrew I do everything manually

UNTIL today...when my mrs decided she wanted to play something and docked the Switch in a dock that has Ethernet connected. She was playing Ooblets and I'm pretty sure the game went online to check for updates? News of a patch showed up on its home screen

So if it did, is my once clean unit now cooked? Ooblets is most definitely an installed NSP

You're very likely fine. Back in the days before Atmosphere I had installed NSPs on SXOS and it would connect to Nintendo's servers all the time. I would recommend wiping your serial numbers though (only in emu), as that will 100% prevent connecting to Nintendo's servers, and Nintendo won't know who you are anyway since you have no serial number.

If Ooblets are installed as a NSP, I'm sad to say your Switch is most likely flagged and will get banned eventually.
But who knows? You might have gotten lucky!

Thanks guys, I do appear fine for now. I had everything in place, Exo, DNS MITM etc.

I used 90DNS Tester and all showed as Blocked, my serial is indeed blanked. Guess time will tell

I now have a much bigger issue which will require a new thread

Just to let you know, if you had exosphere setup correctly it didn't go online to check for updates.

System firmware also contains update information, I am guessing whatever ofw version your emunand is on is more recent than the latest version of ooblets.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
