Has anyone here had any luck bypassing Nintendo's Anti-Root Bullshit? Not everyone roots for the sake of piracy or cheating. It's really damn annoying that some developers cant understand that. I personally root for the sake of being able to use external storage for my games. Most mid to low end Android devices just have shoddy storage solutions and require rooting to allow for installs of multiple large games. People, feel free to share your thoughts :)

If there was any progress, you would've heard about it. People freaked the fuck out when the webkit exploit came out (which was cool, but pretty much pointless in the grand scheme of things), so I can't even imagine what would happen if a root exploit was found. But I do think Nintendo would have went hard on security on the switch, due to the numerous blunders in securing their previous consoles (Wii U and 3DS).

Are we talking about Super Mario Run and Fire Emblem Heroes?

In that case, any method of bypassing SafetyNet check works, which would be either Chainfire's SuperSU + suhide, or Magisk tools which would be Magisk + MagiskSU, and enable MagiskHide. As far as I know there's no way to bypass SafetyNet with Xposed enabled (So if you install it like me, you have to disable it (Magisk only) or uninstall it).

Alright let me clarify how to fix this.
Chainfire do NOT recommend Suhude, it's obsolete and won't be supported.

If you want to bypass the anti-root thing, that is actually Google's own "SafetyNet".

Download Magisk Manager.
It will install Magisk, magisk is a framework that can do all fun stuff.

Remove any old root software you have. Magisk have MagiskSU inbuilt and will takecare of it now days.
You also need to activate "Magisk Hide". This will hide that you got root installed.
I also recommend activating so you can use apps like Adaway.

EDIT: If you want to get Xposed working if you got an older android. Install Xposed for Magisk.

You know, this is referring to anti-jailbreak/anti-root on mobile ninty apps right? cause you seem to think this is the switch section.

To be honest, you should just go with Magisk right away. It's such a nice feeling not to worry about the SafetyNet crap. And it's so pain free now days to install Magisk as well. They really streamlined it.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
