I think that's what it's called, as in 'BLES-12345', but I'm asking this as I've converted a game which I don't think was ever on PSN and noticed it switched the game ID from BLES to NPEB. I'm asking as I intend to play this game online and was wondering if Sony can see this or if it increases my ban risk in any way.

Thanks for reading!

My fault, as far as I know people are still getting ban on ps3. You wouldn't be able to get away with naming convention.

To my knowledge, there haven't been any confirmed bans on the PS3 HAN exploit. Also I know I'm taking a risk by going online anyhow, but I was just wondering if the game ID was something that was visible to Sony and something that would increase my risk of a ban

Well you have game in pkg format that you didn't purchase so playing online will send info to Sony and get you ban that way, then again nobody really play online on PS3 now a day, it is like dead.

They do see the titleID (and even the text of the name), but nobody outside $ony can really prove that they do or don't act on that

Is this something Sony could issue a ban for?
PSN is a private service, and they are free to deny it to anyone for any arbitrary reason (as long as it's not legally considered a discriminatory reason, which I wager it's not)

And does this affect trophies at all?
I don't think it would, trophies work off a separate identifier (look into the hdd0/game/titleid/TROPDIR or somehting folder, you will find something with a name resembling NPWR/NPHR etc (don't really remember), that's the game identifier for the purpose of trophies and actual multiplayer connectivity)

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
