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

[pLaYeR^^]

But I have a question... What if I play Zelda breath of the wild(Cartridge) with a modified save?Will my console get banned EVEN IF THE GAME HAS NO MULTIPLAYER MODE?!?(Just asking)

You still need an unauthorized method (homebrew) to inject the save. Hacking always comes with a risk and we can't say for sure yet what's safe and what's not.

You must of loved when they announced the Xbox One.

Pls, never paid attention to the xbox one

Well anyway it lead to this.

So, how is this news exactly?

Back with the 3DS they where issuing ban over game cart IDs and such, why would they not do that for the Switch as well? It is a great way to help prevent piracy, it at least prevents people from using pirated games online.

We are hackers and as such need to find a way to circumvent those security measures set by Nintendo.
This does not make us stupid, quite the opposite.

You are modifying your switch
Who cares about getting banned
Only stupid people hack their switch and are afraid of getting banned...
It’s like making love without condoms and pray that the girl don’t become pregnant lmao

are u a hacker, or do u just download files made by other people?

 

[Saturosias]

We are hackers

You don't have anywhere near the technical literacy to be considered a hacker.

 

[Flying Scotsman]

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

Impossible as the game cert is unique to that game. You can't just mix and match game certs like we could on the 3DS and even if you got a game cert for the game in question - you might as well just play the legit copy the cert came from instead of injecting it into the ripped copy.

 

[ZeroT21]

It should be possible for few/multiple consoles to have the same cart cert but not to some crazy amount or atleast not all being used online at the same time

I don't really understand this petty behavior most people feel the need to display.
As far as I know I am hacking my device albeit using other people's (great selfless people btw) mods/tutorials/homebrew and whatnot.
You seem to think we are born with this ability (hence it cannot be learnt) and that's what's really sad.
Man! This is a discussion (opinion sharing)....don't you guys get it?

That's the definition of a script kiddie, not a hacker.

You know...sorry to break it to you but I know how to use a dictionary.
I don't really see why you're trying to make this personal and stuff.
And since you know nothing about me, how about we move along with our usual affairs?

because claiming to be a hacker while u are just a skid, is cringe worthy at best.

 

[Deleted User]

So they've taken the "Ban the cartridge, not the user/console" Approach?

That..... seems like a fair compromise. Granted, its not fair to the people who are buying carts, dumping, then returning or trading them away. But certainly an odd approach to the piracy issue.

 

[MehMeh27]

I don't think it's so much that they're banning carts, but that they're blocking carts with invalid headers, in the first place... but maybe that's just semantics.

Sigh...Again what does it matter to you what I claim to be or not to be?

thats going to be kind of a bitch on the used game market and for people lending videogames at the library

[magico29]

still a lot of

Who cares about playing online with illegal dumps?

still a lot of dummies around baby,they desperate to get online and play backups.

Maybe those who are curious about all of this should ask nintendon directly, how they are going to deal with this situation in conjunction with rented or used games. Seems extremely unfair for someone who uses a completely stock Switch, to possibly buy or rent an online title that doesn't even work online.
