If you had a game with pirated DLC, then let that game connect to the eshop to check for updates... yeah, getting banned isn't too surprising.

If you don't, the game won't run... I took the risk. With old firmware nothing happened, but 6.0 breaks the game... reinstallation of the game results in a banned. I took the risk, but I did the honourable thing to warn others.

You are on CFW, you pirate games, you connected to Nintendo's server. But it's the game's fault you got banned. SMH

Don't want to get banned? Dont install CFW.

Don't want to get banned but you want to have CFW, at least do not pirate games.

Don't want to het banned but you want to pirate games? Don't freaking connect to nintendo's server. Ban yourself from their servers before they get the chance to ban you. *insert roll safe meme here*

This is a forum for CFW, what are you doing here if you are not using it?

Is this a ban report even worth collecting? I already have enough evidence that .NSP files can cause bans (though .NSP-only bans only started on firmware 6.0 for some reason). This seems more like a witch-hunt than an actual analytical breakdown of what causes a bans.

And just so we're all on the same page, we're up to now 11 cases of homebrew only bans. A pinball game is certainly the least of your worries.

Didn't pirate and was banned.
You mean: Nintendo and their flying monkeys around here? :P
People don't agree with you and yours so you resort to name calling? Cute..

I am just warning people about this particular game because it forces you to turn on the wifi and connect to some servers to download additional files. This Pinball game is a hazard if you don't want to be banned. I took the risk because I don't care, but I think I did the right think to warn users here.

If you don't believe me, and don't care about being banned then install this game and some DLC. Let us know the result.

I have a clean hack-free NAND and deleted all of my Wi-Fi settings in my console. The only way I would be banned for installing this DLC is if I happen to walk past a Nintendo Hotspot. A smart person can avoid a ban no matter what hacks they use.

I hate to burst your bubble, but not committing piracy isn't going to save your console from a ban. Source: me.

There's hope for a Xenosaga port.

Please make a "WTS - Banned Switch Console for 2 bucks".

I wonder if people really think their consoles drop in value because they're banned. I still need proof. /s

sounds like you got banned because you finally went online. it was coming with or without pinball
Nope. I went online every week to check out new games on the eShop. In fact I use the eShop a couple minutes before running that Pinball game. Right after running it and getting error messages, I went back to the eShop and got a banned message.

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card

    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
