So I heard that when you run a dumped version of a gamecard on a switch that is connected to the internet, Nintendo will brick the cartridge so it can't be used on non-hacked switches.
It his true?

It's impossible for them to brick a cart. It's ROM (Ready Only Memory). So it can't be written to... they can't blacklist the cart either since it would mean if it gets sold later on and that person plays it. It would make it not possible to play, it would be illegal. So no, it will not do any harm. If you wanna dump it, but without any cert. It's not possible to even identify it.

The only thing they would be able to do is ban the carts cert but, like the previous person said, that is worked around by just omitting the cert and using patches on the hacked console to run the technically bad dump

    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
