Forgot to mention that firmware doesn't matter; serial number does. The current exploit relies on the hardware of the console, not the software, so if you haven't checked already, I would highly recommend trying to check the serial number of the console with the ones from here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/switch-...he-first-post-before-asking-questions.481215/
Putting a $2 plastic jig into the right joycon rail, pressing a key combo, and then plugging it into a computer and pushing a payload is not difficult. If you think it's difficult you are likely new to the console hacking scene. Cause this is one of the easiest coldboot exploits to run
A firmware update or game update? Because I know Starlink has a day 1 game update.
So I was able to successfully install and launch Dark Souls on firmware 5.0 meaning it uses the 5.X masterkey so I know it does not require firmware 6.0. However when the game launched, it didn't detect any network settings (because I was in Airplane Mode) but I was able to continue the game in offline mode. So you probably had the console connected to the Internet and/or downloaded the system update which prevented you from playing the game.
All games go through Nintendo's servers first to verify if you are not banned or not so we can't bypass bans that way, even if the games themselves don't use Nintendo's servers to enable online play such as Fortnite.
Sleep mode counts as the console being on so it will be like removing the SD card while the console is on.
Have you tried eBay and seeing if there were any resellers close to your country?
9 times out of 10, the answer would be yes unless you installed them without tickets & they were installed to the SD card.
ah okay, that means better delete them before I restore it then since I'm gonna reinstall them anyway
Yes because DLC use personalized tickets unlike the common tickets for updates although I've never tried rebuilding a DLC without the ticket and seeing what would happen.
