Tell you what..? How about you get on with what’s more important on gbatemp and not “lecture” me! on what I can & cannot do with my own child :glare:
There is a lot you can and cannot do with your own child. Still this is not the right section for this, start your own thread and I guess I need to "lecture" you if you cannot follow what I asked.

Surprising, people are going ape crazy because an app allows you to basically bypass parental control.
This app is usable and is great that it exist.
Parents back in the days didn't have anything remotely close to parental controls, not even the V-chip in TV sets.

This is good if you buy a switch and it somehow has a parental lock on it, if that case occurs, you have to hope that switch could run cfw or if you somehow forget your own parental code.

I totally agree this app is wrong I have a son that uses my cfw Switch that needs parental controls on it, this is not good! and he knows about a hacked switch and it probably wouldn’t take him long to find out how to use this, well said!

He could probably create an emunand and bypass your irrelevant parental controls too.

Maybe you should get an unhackable switch and stop corrupting your children with dodgy software.

There's not even an 1 way to remove parental control on unhacked switch, except the official one through Nintendo support, yeah?..

I don't think you can remove it on unhackable switches on firmware 8.0.0 or later, but you could remove it from hackable switches before this software was released.

So I don't know why anyone is complaining now.

It's like saying "I smoke pot around my child, how do I stop them getting high or thinking smoking pot is ok? I let him play with rizla+ though because it's just paper and I grow my own pot"

Hi. Is it possible that it could be evolved to allow to set some Parental control settings aswell?

Since Im not able to link my Switch to my App to set time based limit, it would be awesome if a homebrew app could set time based limit on parental control.

I was learning how to use Borealis on simple apps, this homebrew in source code was pretty easy, so I have ported it to Borealis.

If someone wants to use it, it's here:

https://github.com/masagrator/Reset-Parental-Controls-NX/releases/tag/1.1.1-borealis

Functionality is the same as in console version. :P

I have also ported SaltyNX-Tool to Borealis and waiting for Borealis update to finish work on ReverseNX-Tool port to Borealis.

It's all in makefile.

If you want to clone with submodules, use git clone --recursive
