[NeoSlyde]

Facepalm

Facepalm

sorry :')

 

[NeoSlyde]

sorry :')

We are talking about dumps
If Nintendo finds a cartridge certificate that’s it’s being used by 2 or more persons in the same time
They ban it

time for people to sell gamecart certificates now

and when they go online and they dont match the game they were for and ban them too.

This is bad. Being a pirate is one thing but causing trouble for legit buyer is a big problem.

As long as I can update my backups, and firmware, I'll ban my damn self. I'll never use online anyway.

 

[GBHAKC75]

Do we know why ? I guess if they see the same dump online at the same time on 2 (or more) different locations ?

I'm asking since I start my own backups (yes, for real, it's just way more convenient to have all your dumps without cartridges) and don't really want to ban my own games...

So I have to worry about people selling carts on ebay being a problem for me or not?

Not when the original cartridge owner dumped it and sold as used for someone else and both are detected playing online, even if not at same time.

If the person just sold the cartridge as used and never dumped it before that, the person who buy that cartridge will be ok.

Remove the certificate and header from them just like BBB

 

[Rioluwott]

Is there any case of someone with a banned console from playing online on both dumps and legit cartridges?
like for example someone who played online using one BBB dump and then got banned from using everything?
if there is no case like that is good news since i will only have to get cartridges for games i really want to play online(like smash ultimate)
well the bans just started so i guess there wont be a lot of cases like that

Wouldn't that result in a instant ban if the game connects online ? SciresM told that a NO_CERT sent to Nintendo servers would result in a immediate ban...
I don't really plan to play online TBH, but I don't really want to ban my console if I go online by accident (like hitting the wrong menu on MK8...).

Are we honestly expecting this to become a massive practice of some sort? If you do that, you would have to keeping buying or renting used games everytime they got banned, and I'm sure pirates don't have that kind of money or don't want to spend it that way. It'll be more cost effective to buy a original one to play online.

This is just mass hysteria, thinking that used games are doomed for online. Chill out people.

Since dumping a switch cartridge today is extremally easy, you must test the game's cartridge before buying it or risk yourself if you don't do that.

That only applies for used games, obviously.

Sorry I can't find words to express myself right now.

 

[Aldoria]

I think it's a nice move from them to only ban illegal game cards, and not the entire console

You do realize that a lof people are not concerned by the Switch hacking scene at all (they probably even ignore it exists) and won't try to mess up with their console just to give you a dump (not to mention that you could scam them and go away with the dump, if you can start it...) ?

Nobody said they wouldn't ban your console. Read SciresM post on this topic, looks like they do both.
