Thanks for confirming that. I had asked on the official banned thread but the only one to answer was a non banned person and was wanting to hear from a banned person
News is a nice easy way to check if banned

I think the person must be me peteruk
But ask confirmation is all in your honor

Nintendo cant beat us,simple like that and doesn't matter how many update they release.

 

[KHEOPS]

Beat? I don't go to war
Fight nintendo? Why fight when I bought a switch console, and it's nintendo that makes aaa cool games.
Just that it is more tolerant with homebrews, which confirm to me here that played 100% homebrews emulator does not make us banish? As I saw on a post on gba temp...?

Not sure what you want me to say ?

Anyway, try popping outside once in a while, there's a real world out there to be enjoyed

Don't get me wrong, nothing bad here, just that there were still the 2 pages open on my google browser, on my android console, so I saw the post refresh and see this
I work outside all week (hiking environment mountain quality of water..), but you are right the earth is beautiful and stop throwing your beer cans in the nature, that is more important than the ban nintendo ah ah!

Yes baby!

Lol no. Nintendo wants to prevent privacy, right? Now, they will release 6.0 update, which will prevent privacy

At the same time they superbanned my console, which will prevent all update, meaning: my switch will always be able to do privacy. Why? Because of Nintendo!
Nintendo actually made sure that I will always be able to play privacy on the superbanned switch, that’s why „Nintendo just shot themselves in the foot.“

Right, keep believing that. You knew the risks, and now you have to pay for it, deal with it

So you are basically saying Nintendo shouldn't have banned you for pirating all of their games? Well, you probably should already know by now that piracy will lead you to ban.

 

[Absintu]

Yes baby!

no, dont encorage that

Hello to all
Important question
Who can certify me that launched retroarch on nintendo switch, does not lead you to a ban? We talk about ban or superban, but only about those who launch nsp or xci, but if it's 100℅ homebrew?

Nothing has changed. 6.0 won't stop piracy, you will be able to install 6.0 anyway & you will still be banned.

1 person got banned for 100% homebrew setup, however, they cleared log on 5.x, which was proven unsafe.

So, in theory, no one got banned for homebrew only.

Ok so can I tell my friends,ok man no problem,you can play as much as you want a retroarch,you won't be ban,what's weird is that retroarch has always logged what happens crash or whatever,seen on android many times,just a message that warns you want to forward you application crash logs,so retroarch ported to switch lakka ,or retronx,won't do anything in case of crash,like it happened to me on my switch (which no longer saw online)
I'd really like to believe you, but if the retroarch port didn't undergo any modification ( to not generate a log)
So I don't think nintendo let you play nes and neogeo, while they sell their roms on the eshop, and close sites for copyright games.

 

[Omer]

if we want to play files downloaded from CDN program in v.6.0 fw in the future... does that require patching the file downloaded itself or patching the firmware

creport redirect crashes on the sd card. This is the safest you could get with a 100% homebrew setup.
Also, don't compare android crashes with crashes from the switch.

However, it could change in the future, tho nintendo has almost no reasons to ban people using homebrew and buying games (except maybe emulators?).

Hell yeah baby!!

All CFW patch the firmware of the device although depending on how you interpret CFW, its either modifying the current firmware (customized firmware) or replacing it entirely (custom firmware). All CFW except Atmosphere fall under the former (which is only just ReiNX and S OS, RajNX is a pre-compiled version of Atmosphere plus Hekate and some IPS patches). When Nintendo changes their firmware such as through a firmware update, occasionally the patches break because they're based on earlier versions of the firmware. We can't predict what Nintendo will change but devs can try their best at future proofing their work. And when their work does break, they can easily update their work much like Nintendo updates their firmware.

tl;dr We're going to be patching the firmware which technically means we're patching the files we download but after they are installed into the console.

Cheers for the correction, good learn these things. Has anyone tried spoofing the tls-cert? I guess you'd need to figure out the algorythm and hopefully come up with a tls-cert generator for that to be viable too...

You're not spoofing tls-certificates. The signing key for this isn't even a 'real' thing to leak, its basically impossible to ever find or get a hold of, and even if you somehow managed to accomplish this feat of corporate espionage the tls-cert has to be accepted on Nintendo's end as well which they would only do if they made the cert themselves.
