Actually HBG claim to have burned like 1, maybe 2 certs (I don't remember so well), I don't understand why people here would "give a warning" about them giving perks for donations. I mean, you can have doubts, but so far they didn't betrayed their community and they are doing some great work imo.

Just don't pay attention to the warning then if you are not worried. No need to say it's not need. Some people might not know what they are getting into or how those perks can get taken away with the click of 1 button if they every find you in a witch hunt talking about them. You also must not know the history or hypocrisy of HBG, now Homebrew Gang as they call them selves.

I have a question, to see if someone can clarify it.

in the hbg menu at the beginning install games without erasing the content after installing them. In the event that there is some residue, where can I find it or where would it be stored?

I think I know what they are accused for but eh, there's still so much hate for dumb reasons imo
To me, a warning isn't a warning if you don't say why we should be worried, why somebody who do not know about all that stuff should take a warning seriously if it's just "hey warning don't use that" ? Personally I would be like "Ok, but why ?"
I know about the polemic they made when they released their hbgshop but I don't know why people are talking about "hypocrisy" etc. Yes their witchhunt stuff is kinda stupid imo, but besides that they still do a good work imo, and even if I think that the traitors room isn't a good idea, all I've seen was people who felt good about being there, it "proved they were right bruh I made a non-sense critique and you took me there lol that's so cool" but don't answer the questions the admins asks (like how they could improve, why this person thinks they are not transparent). I mean, to me it looks like they want to improve but the critiques who get into this room just want to prove they are right "because you took me in this room lol" instead of just arguing about the hbg thing they are supposedly against.
+people insulting them but stealing their work for their own discord server are pure trash

Everyone steals from them. Literally the entire scene. HBG is the only place that releases all updates, the official scene only scenes some updates. So if you installed a game pdate, and you didnt download it yourself right from the scene (rar'd up and all), then you used HBG's work. HBG is also a big player in the release of games and DLC. Id say there is at least a 70% chance that any game or DLC NSP you installed, came from HBG.

Ikr, I just wanted to point out the hypocrisy of some discord servers trashing people but congratulating themselves for stealing them

There was a group that people didn't have to steal from and freely gave to the entire community and discord servers. Wonder what made them leave :glare: Also kinda funny how someone stealing from someone else who is stealing is frowned upon, but the person who is doing the initial theft is held up like a god or something....I guess that doesn't fall under the definition of hypocrisy.

All "first party" base games are explicitly excluded. I'm guessing due to fear of Nintendo.

They seem to have patches/DLCs for these games however, if you can find the base game somewhere else. Like their discord bot.

This may get removed and that's fair if it does, but they do offer those games. You need to go to their actual discord server. I guess that keeps them "safe" :rolleyes:

You're right. I forgot they hide those behind the donate role or at least that's what other people who actually use the server have said.

Anyone know where the NSPs are located after download/installing. I'd like to backup the games on a HDD just in case of corruption and don't need to redownload all over again.

Hey guys, just registered today. I have a question about sideloading a nsp that I could find in tinfoil (hbgshop). I downloaded the nsp and I want to ftp it over to the switch. Do I just put the new nsp in the root of the tinfoil folder and install it to my dashboard from there?
