What has that to do with what i said?

Everytime you get an error on the switch it gets logged. The guys before me are an example. Those errors will get people banned, now they're all happy and hyped for the new toy, not thinking about the consequences(if they care about online at least).

No but some other guy said everyone is getting errors loading backups and I said maybe because they aren't on 5.1

In his video his Switch is on 5.1 soooo I guess that was implied?? idk
Needs to be clarified. We all know how this forum works with implications.
To run LayeredFS, it runs a patched kernel of 5.1 ONLY. Meaning it will only work on systems that are running a 5.1 kernel to begin with. If you click step 6 and read the thread, you can find more information. Also that thread will most likely get deleted because it wasn't supposed to be released into the public.

Assuming they go the anti-piracy route for Atmosphere.
The CFW is open source... It doesn't matter, piracy will come one way or another

Also, is incredible to see how desperate some of you are to play free games. This is still a premature "release" that wasn't even supposed to be used yet for safe reasons. Be patient and wait a few days for proper solutions.

I still remember how you guys rushed so fast to buy 4.5FW 3ds and Getaway cards, nice old time :P

I WAS one of those people and I'm still here. I even remember needing ONE microSD per game as well. Now, I can have a full CFW with just one flash cart and a magnet in five minutes. I always love seeing scenes progress.

I'm laughing soo hard at everyone who makes a "in your face xecuter" post. I'll take the SX Pro any day over this unpolished turd. Im amazed at how happy you are have to go through that much hassle to load a backup and amazed that you think it's better than the SX PRO that will be drag and drop.

Quite a nice workaround you guys found.
However, given how this is using Atmosphere and SciresM's work from ReSwitch (which apparently are highly anti-piracy), it wouldn't take long for Scires to add a check to only load up layeredFS if the original title matches that of the modified one.

It's that easy. XD

Open source. Whatever changes he makes are open and can be reverted by anyone.

Is that easy.

But we don't have to speculate because SciresM himself said he wasn't going to bother doing that because people will circumvent it anyways.

Good try though

Oh ok you mean it could be a solution. I don't know i was just saying that people should be more caareful with this and not complain if they get banned.

Oh yeah totally, if there weren't any risk I'd have hundreds on dollars worth of games on my sd card

I'm not aware of any CFW actively trying to block backups. It's pointless, dumb, and would only get more people to buy modchips/flashcarts.

    @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".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    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

    but that's a long shot

    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:

  • 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
