Having thought on it more, I guess technically it's possible that if you blocked sun, blocked beach, and blocked aqua, and if Nintendo didn't add new secrets in 5.0.0 required for auth (although that would be odd as they did in 3.0.0, and did in 4.0.0) that your console might be willing to talk to atum to get update contents when it first turns on. However, that seems pretty unlikely to me. You'd probably also have to block dauth, and that would jam most communications...

Had any new authentication methods or severs been added to the chain, you all would have noticed it in the slew of changes that happened with 5.0, right?

sound interesting so you are saying there is 0.1% that it possible to update games in 4.1.0 ?

I don't usually bother documenting the new dauth data, because I don't really need to do anything online at the moment. I am still going to say this thread's total nonsense, particularly since the OP claimed in PM to me that his method "involved two Switches".

...that your console might be willing to talk to atum to get update contents when it first turns on.
By "first turn on", do you mean like after a factory reset? But wouldn't that defeat the purpose, since a factory-reset switch would not have any games on it that could be updated?

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
    +1
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
