Hacking ** CAUTION ** - Nintendo Now Banning Physical Game Carts

[TiMeBoMb4u2]

A friend of mine tipped me off to this recent Tweet, by @SciresM...

Looks like we've got confirmation that Nintendo is banning gamecart certificates (I guess people aren't taking my advice...). The relevant error for trying to use a gamecard with a banned cert is 0x1F727C -- 2124-4025.

Better get a cartridge certification ban than a console ban tbh

Does that means they banned the Game completely (That it wont start) vor only that you cant play Online with that Game anymore?

That you can't play online with it anymore...

Who cares about playing online with illegal dumps?

Expected, and very good that they are doing this tbh if you want to play online you should not be able to do so with a modified console.

A lot of people apparently, NOT including me.

Meh. Kids.
Buy legal copies if you wanna play online.
Only thing that concerns me if I can use my own legally bought cart dumps online and not get banned. Not gonna sell the carts but carrying them is a hassle

 

[Mat37]

Can Nintendo ban if we inject a not banned cert into an xci file and play with it ?

 

[Darth Meteos]

Mount the cart, reset, go into OFW. Update the cartridge, like you would one that's not in the console. Return to your offline playing.

this is bad news there are a ton of people who buy used games if it were up to gamestop it'd be everyone now you have to check every single used game to make sure it works online hopefully before paying for it.

That should be safe as the cart cert is legit, but as always we don't know what could happen in the future still breaks Nintendos TOS

There are very few details. We don't know, for sure.

Well, the conversation I'm watching is --- hat about used game sales or borrowed games. This could ruin both of these.

These "illegal dumps" are affecting physical cartridge usage!!

Pretty much what I'm thinking. What if someone buys a used game, after some guy dumped the cert, and they both play online at the same time?

the hell is wrong with you I wnat to be able to use home brew and play on line, i dont want to need my carts all the time plus there is a very resonable excuse for using downloaded roms if your internet speed is faster than your dump speed and it takes time and interaction

Used game is a legitimate issue I am also concerned about, hopefully it will be possible to contact Nintendo support about it, or demand a refund from stores for a faulty product. Private sales however would be the issue.

nintendo mostlikely sees that severall online players have the samer cert -> piracy - ban cert

Yes but if use your own dumps thats not a issud

I'm also concerned about the future implications for the Switch used games market. For example, someone buys / dumps / redistributes a cartridge, and then sells it off to some other unsuspecting person on eBay, Craigslist, or a local game store. Then the next user who may not even know that Switch hacking is a thing has no idea why they can't play that specific game online.

To protect the online ecosystem from cheaters it is perfectly reasonable for Nintendo to ban users for piracy and other modification.

HB itself should be fine, we are talking about online.
