Hacking Badge Arcade Region Ban Poll (022-2803)

[LOLIPOP_MASTER]

Maybe 10.4 has an anti cheat protection...?

 

[Tomy Sakazaki]

Still not banned on my 10.3 EmuNAND N3DS, but I'm not getting the daily talk from Badgegrab anymore. Just "Good to see you again today!" even when it's my first time opening the app. I've been playing since the JP release, and I have to fix my "corrupted data" every time I open the app.

That's actually normal, there's days that his spam flag is simply turned off. This seems to happen more in the american version than japanese one though (I have 2 japanese units, one vanilla and other on rxTools to play).

No sort of ban on my Gateway N3DS.

I am still running it in 10.3 emunand, I used Free Multi Patcher to login and play as normal.
I've used cheats to modify the number of practice and real plays, and gotten LOTS of badges, as well as unlock or stop the catcher at a whim.
Maybe the ban detection works by detecting a certain way the firmware is, if it's a certain version number or not a clean exploit? Maybe CFW methods other than Gateway are at stake?

Yeah no, people have reported the error with having only cheated with gw, and there are people that have used both ntr and gw and only use GW when cheating that haven't gotten the error yet (like myself)

There is simply not enough information yet for people to say "Well maybe its only 'those' people".

Maybe 10.4 has an anti cheat protection...?

I don't think so. People have been banned that updated to 10.4 and ran Badge Arcade for the first time (so didn't even have the ability to cheat on 10.4). What is more likely is whatever server maintenance was done before 10.4 hit, allowed bans to be triggered once 10.4 dropped.

It's likely it's waves due to Nintendo having to analyze all data and be 100% sure for each individual user they ban. What will be interesting is if we get any reports of someone being banned who hasn't cheated, but just ran CFW/NTR in the background.

I'm fairly confident anyone who has cheated will get axed at some point, but we'll see. Data collection on Nintendo's side has clearly been done already/is still on-going, so it's not likely slipping through the cracks is an outcome. If you've cheated it's bound to be stored somewhere at Nintendo's end to be acted on whenever Nintendo have "analyzed your data".

Basically if you've not been banned yet take precautions for what it's worth and refrain from cheating for now/even opening the app till we know more. Or go all in understanding you'll probably be dead soon

maybe checking with GW will ban?

I've checked 3 times today with GW and I'm still not banned. I even ran the unlock code in the morning and grabbed a couple badges.

i am on 10.3 and banned.

Yup I doubt versions have anything to do with it, it's got to be data collection at Nintendo's end considering the game connects online and stores your progress. 99 free plays in a day without a penny spent has to stick out like a sore thumb!

 

[aos10]

i know this might not help , but is there a way to remove the NNID from the device and then return it?

 

[yacepi15]

I used it on my GW emuNAND with the 1st day GW cheat to obtain about 200 badges and no problem.

 

[Audioboxer]

I wonder if your console manufacturing date plays a part? Maybe Nintendo logs are stored in order of the consoles creation? Would be interesting to hear if bans are all on "older" consoles so far, or if anyone has a ban on a recently purchased 3DS. Just brainstorming if there's any logic to Nintendo's ban order.

Or if not manufacturing date, the first time you logged in with your NNID on your console. Mines is only weeks old (purchase and NNID login), with no ban yet.

I have yet to be banned, I did use the Japanese version of the badge arcade. Never used custom badges but I did use NTR debugger to give myself 5095 plays, then 0 to exit.

lol.

*At Nintendo HQ, does this user looks legit, 5095 plays? Yeah, we're sure he bought them $$$*

2 questions:
The banned people are only banned from Badge Arcade or the online services are fucked?
If im not banned yet,they can ban me?

Just badge arcade so far. The second question is the big unanswered one, and we're trying to make sense of the bans so far. Only Nintendo knows, but I personally think it's likely anyone who has cheating data logged, will be banned eventually.

It can be worse... If it only locks a "eshop-founds-eraser"... Doesnt matter too much.

I logged into Badge Arcade and it worked
Then I exited and started NTR, and NTR debug, didnt input any codes though
Tried to log into Badge Arcade and I cant get past the NNID screen - error 003-4099

Banned?

EDIT - Nevermind - I was downloading something on steam. After switching it off I logged in fine. I think the internet was just being unresponsive.

False Alarm

Glad it is sorted. The ban code seems to exclusively be 022-2803.

Any idea what the 022-2813 and 002-2815 codes where?

Sadly no, are people getting these as well? I may be wrong in my assumption, 022-2803 is just what I've seen 99% of the time on forums.
