Hello all!
Want to watch stuff off of crunchyroll on a banned/nintendo blocked switch?
1) Install Crunchyroll normally
2) Extract the attached ZIP to the SD root, it contains an exefs patch for crunchyroll
3) Enjoy!
Hope you all enjoy!
-systemdev

NOTE: 1.5.0 is the latest crunchyroll version, please use the zip that starts with 150 for that version! The 140 zip is for 1.4.0, and is only here for legacy reference reasons.

I have incognito (the one that removes your serial) and I have just tried it and when I enter crunchyroll it is saying that my switch is offline but I am not offline

UPDATE: I was using crunchyroll ver 1.1.0, after updating it to 1.4.0 it works perfectly, so glad the dev did this! I would like to learn how to do this and start helping the community as well

Could you do two things to help me troubleshoot?
-Run "Fix Archive Bit" in Hekate, then reboot
-Check what version of Crunchyroll you're using

Ohhhhh so so so so sorry! I just found that I downloaded the installer and update from a website thinking it was the latest but it was 1.1.0, what I did was matching versions with my other unhacked switch and I updated it to 1.4.0 and now it is working!! Thank you very much!

Thanks a ton, tested and works on my Switch!

Had to manually update to 1.4.0 is all, which is hard to find if someone already has a banned switch (I have another one that's not banned I used to share the update from)

Edit: May I ask what it patches in the exefs, or maybe what hex/bytes are changed? Would love to implement this into an installable patch for my friends

Out of curiosity... If you install Crunchyroll onto emuNAND without this patch (so, just vanilla CR), and it runs just fine, does that mean that the Switch you have isn't banned?

    @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.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    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

    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

    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.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @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
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
