Homebrew Is the banwave over?

[nl255]

Alright, hope they don't see you

Though for those who are already banned they really have nothing to lose by using the public seed (though since doing so might eventually result in a nnid ban it would be a good idea for anyone using pokemon bank to remove everything from it asap) even if it isn't over.

He wasn't banned though, plus it's still better to use a private seed...

There haven't been any new banreports for almost 2 days now, tomorrow we may be sure about it being over. Doesn't mean we couldn't get another wave soon though.
In 10 days or 25 days we will know, whether the bans are temporary or permanent.

All the bans were perm sorry to say

Well, sure it was confirmed by multiple Nintendo reps (but not all of them AFAIK), but they often make up something, because they don't know more than what they are told. We can only really be sure when the usual ban times elapsed and we still are banned

No like I said I'm still using luma 6.6, not sure if it's one of the nightly builds or the one that was on the GitHub at the time I hacked the 3ds.

Then that must be why.. Sorry

Be careful peeps. Nintendo can't ban EVERYONE, IN ONE GO, meeting a simplistic criteria like "has custom firmware or hombrew activity in a log" - they will have at least, say (for argument's sake) 1% "bad calls" - young siblings whose older brother/sister experimented incompetently with their console, people who have bought second hand systems or received them as gift that have hidden traces of such activity, or people who spend lots legitimately on their system and just wanted to try out some cool, but legal hombrew etc If they banned 1 million people in one go this would result in ~10,000 complaints in a very short time, impacting customer service and generating bad publicity all over the media (It only takes one disadvantaged child impacted by an unfair ban to hit the media to cost Nintendo millions)

This was probably a "test the water" exercise, if it seems to have been mostly successful, with minor true casualties, then expect more hits soon. I suggest a lot of people, LIKE ME, raise their concerns on the forums that people will be hit unfairly. I have spent well over a thousand pounds on Nintendo Consoles and legit Cartridges and have considered CFW to test out titles for our kids when no free demo is available, since we are wasting money on cartridges that they stopped playing after a few days.

I agree whole-heartedly

Which version are you using?

 

[J0wnz]

What is "goat' system ?

 

[Disco Inferno]

What is "goat' system ?

Nintendo's latest handheld.

 

[BARNWEY]

What is "goat' system ?

They mean as in a sacrificial goat, they're basically trying to get it banned to try to get more information about the ban...

 

[dubbz82]

People are under a presumption that this is indeed a ban wave, and not some sort of automated permanently in place check that they've built out to simply banhammer people once whatever criteria they're checking for is in place. To me this actually seems like it'd be a better idea from their prospective. Realistically this is something that may not ever go away.

Agreed... But we can always use public seeds XD

Well thanks for your replies, I updated the luma on my o3ds xl to 7.05 and was able to get the megastones and lycanroc via password on Pokemon sun and moon mystery gift.

Agreed sir!
I never used my 3ds for online or anything and it got banned just because i install some cfw and cia like fbi (i dont even play any unlegitimate .cia games there!)
thats a dick move nintendo!

I'm assuming it's short for "scapegoat". In the case of the bans, someone takes a "goat system"(a console they don't care about) to test what is getting users banned.

 

[alexj9626]

Does somebody knows if the ban is related to what version i have? I mean, i havent update yet, so should i keep it that way?
