I’m sure if the bricks were legit then more people would be posting about it in the same manner as the Pokemon bricks, I’m going to sit it out until a scene relase appears :)

I'm not too sure if I bricked my switch. I enabled autorcm and updated to 5.1.0 to play the smash bros nsp. Everything loaded up and played fine but while I was installing more xci files and cancelled an installation with dopus I got an a system error.
I managed to get it back on again but it turned off and won't boot up.
I'm still new to autorcm and am learning how it works, but I still want to know if I should rule out the possibility of my switch being bricked from the smash bros nap

Thanks

If you got it to launch and it worked, the smash NSP was fine. Cancelling installations sounds like a bad idea though.

If you are planning on hacking your Switch please make NAND BACKUP before ANYTHING! after that disable Internet and then do the game! Play it until release and the get the original one, restore your NAND BACKUP and profit!

And here are the MD5 Hashes I have for -snip-:

You might want to edit out the site name. Warez and all that.

Which Tinfoil is that?

I downloaded the most recent build and it does check something to try legitimise the nsp but I wouldn't rely on it solely for the average user who knows next to nothing it doesn't really give a clear indication. I made it check the smash NSP and it didn't come up all clear but the NSP is fine as far as I know, so yeah and I have 25e.

One issue with RCM is the battery drains quickly while in it.p and charges very slowly. Leave it charging for 6 hours and try again.

The poll should say "Which ones of you are stupid enough to fall for the bricking Smash Ultimate roms?".

Seriously, if you get bricked, good job. Maybe next time you'll consider just waiting and going the legal route : )


How dare everyone not make the same choices as you. Revelling in other's misery? Gloating? Very immature and distasteful.

I don’t think you can be 100% certain of that. Depends if the timebomb was designed with that scenario in mind or not.

Okay for checking (on Windows) first you want this:

https://raylin.wordpress.com/downloads/md5-sha-1-checksum-utility/

You then have it check the NSP/XCI and it'll generate a hash, kind of like a serial number. The hash is based on the bytes of the file so if there's even a minor change, the hash produced changes quite a bit. Basically it lets you compare that the file you have is exactly the same as the one you should have. If someone has inserted malicious code, it'll produce a different hash

Then you just need to compare it with a confirmed hash from a trusted source. I can post the confirmed hash I used if a mod confirms it doesn't violate any rules

dont mean to intrude my friend or nothing
just upon reading the threads and what not,

Found this small/Portable Utility to be a Pretty good Hash checker as well, its free too..
at least worth looking into maybe...

ALL hashes calculated with this can be saved via .txt file on it, again thanks... cheers :D
just found it to be a little more satisfying..

Description
HashMyFiles is small utility that allows you to calculate the MD5 and SHA1 hashes of one or more files in your system. You can easily copy the MD5/SHA1 hashes list into the clipboard, or save them into text/html/xml file.
HashMyFiles can also be launched from the context menu of Windows Explorer, and display the MD5/SHA1 hashes of the selected file or folder.

System Requirements
This utility works on 98/2000/XP/2003/Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8/Windows 10.

it's freeware

nope, it will not protect you just yet (maybe when an sxos stable version comes out)... i tested this out using the pokemon brick nsp and even though i installed it in the sd emunand it still bricked my whole system... you can try it out yourself.

just please have a nand bakup ready
