I wonder if the auto rcm brick got implemented...

I wonder if the auto rcm brick got implemented...

I find it highly unlikely that Nintendo would implement code to brick a system if autoRCM is detected. If anything, they'd flag the system and ban it from Nintendo Online and eShop.

There's probably something else causing this.

Ah shit, here we go again.

Time to get a good drink and stay up late to lurk.

Yeah I doubt it too. But TX was claiming yesterday that they will in the 8.0 update.

it's weird dude, i have practically been begging to get banned at this point, i just wanna get it over with but yet i'm still unbanned. It's pretty annoying because i know for a fact i will be banned or am on some type of queue for a ban. Maybe i should try going online with smash ultimate

Nintendo why can’t I have good things?

 

[aos10]

Sorting will be a great thing whenever us CFW users can, well, use it

Hope this doesnt turn into a sxos is finished and too much time and what not ....

 

[huma_dawii]

Oh come on we only got SX OS support not long ago...

And BTW this update practically confirms the revisions are coming

 

[Adran_Marit]

You can still send hekate and restore your backup if you have one, you can also still send Memloader

 

[SkittleDash]

New update? Meh... Don't play online much anyway. Not a big deal to me.

Thanks Nintendo. I always wanted a zoom feature for Gal Gun science

 

[Paulsar99]

Ah the influx of children updating their parent's switches again.

 

[satel]

nvm

 

[godreborn]

I'm confused about the save data transfer thing. does that mean we can back up save data periodically to a flash drive like you can with the ps4? I don't really like relying on cloud.
