Hey everyone - I hope you're all enjoying AC!

Following the news, which suggests that we need an online connection to access the events, I was wondering if there was a way to spoof the switch into thinking it was online - even when it isn't.

Seems a strange request, but it would also be a workaround for time travelling!

Let me know what you think,

JC

The majority of replies to your post suggest that this can’t be done, but I’ve read elsewhere that this will actually be quite easy to do so just keep your hopes up.

I was thinking... once the event has started surely if you visited a friend's town who has 'unlocked' the event you'd have it unlocked too? I'd find it weird if you could participate in it on another person's island but not your own. I doubt it though.

What's a bcat?
It's like a switch (an actual switch, not the Nintendo Switch) server-side to activate certain content.
Here's more info about it: https://switchbrew.org/w/index.php?title=BCAT_services

I wonder if Smash's spirit events are also BCAT. Since they can be spoofed to get the spirits on the spirit board permanently, if they are indeed BCAT it would mean that we could possibly gets the event enabled on Offline Switch, maybe even with time traveling.

It's already working. Have 1.1.1a already for like 6 hours :) Search the usual channels for instructions. Pretty sure sharing here is not allowed.

Huh, so they did spoof the BCAT then. I wonder if it will still works after the event theoretically finished, like the Smash events. The major difference though is that the Smash events are considered DLC, not update, so I guess we'll wait and see.
