    Not necessarily, it depends on how how the system is designed. For example, the initial cert check may be the first heartbeat, and so would naturally have timeout leniency. In the meantime, Nintendo has authenticated your Nintendo account and begun the online session. The heartbeat times out...

    Hacking Discussion [PSA] SX OS Banwave is here!!!

    This was because SX1.0 didn't emulate the cert heartbeat check. This was an auth failure by eventual timeout, not "invalid cert". Carts are identified uniquely because they are immutable: I can't replace its hardcoded cert, so the game data is guaranteed by this fact. This is not true for...

    No, I'm not making suggestions on what they should have done. I'm saying the fact that they didn't build it that way likely means that they have no way of validating game data at all right now, nor are they looking for it.

    As explained, this is unlikely. If they were actually doing that, they would have built it directly into the auth process. Think about it: why would Nintendo willing give your console an auth token if your game does not match its cert! SciresM has missed something here... when he wrote that...

    Heads up guys, he's not Nintendo, haha. My point is that if that omission exists, it's pretty safe to assume that the cert was not designed to validate the loaded game. And therefore, playing online with this method is likely not triggering anything at Nintendo at the moment. Because if the...

    Right, but given that missing or malformed certs prevent online access by default but a cert/header mismatch does not is a pretty strange omission by Nintendo. Especially considering how prevalent header injection was with the 3DS. Why not block access immediately on mismatch? Why does...

    Yeah, I know you don't. I was explaining that it does work and the person you were quoting was not correct. That's the only thing I meant.

    This doesn't appear to be true at all. People have successfully gone online by just replacing a pirated game's cert with one from a legit cart that they own, regardless of the game. It doesn't prevent online access in anyway (not to say you won't get banned). In other words, certs may be...

    Is there a distinction in this case between the header and the cert? Might be worth replacing both in all your BBB releases in the event Nintendo is looking for cert/header mismatches.

    I don't see how that wouldn't be a totally trivial consideration, and easily implemented by Nintendo. Why is it insane? They can, but the vast majority won't be (especially at this stage where no one fully understands Nintendo's behaviour) so any region data Nintendo collects is more than...

    Eh, I'm not convinced yet. The fact that people are getting banned despite "clearing their logs" may mean there are hidden logs but it also could mean the console is instructed to check itself by Nintendo servers on the initial connection, no logging required. The latter is more powerful...

    There appear to be multiple apps that clear error logs...are you saying there are additional logs that we're not aware of?

    Wait, why do you think you have total knowledge of the console behaviour? Does the existence of SX OS allow you to see and understand any and all data the console has stored about its state? I've genuinely curious. Otherwise, perhaps its not logging at all but doing some kind of check on the...

    I'm pretty sure these are not the kind of logs they want user control over! You wiped the logs that they allow you to wipe.
