Hello! I need help about something that happened today with my switch.
Y purcheased a game in a page similar to ebay here in Argentina (mercado libre). It was a digital copy. It was all right until a friend told me that seller is a scammer!
He sell the games, then request a refund to Nintendo and nintendo bann the Nintendo account and the system!
The seller just block every try to contact him but my system works well (even the putcheased game) but he will request the refund and the switch will be banned... im sure. So, if I unlink my NNID would it prevent to bann my console? Should I contact Nintendo? I have proof that it is a scam.

So, how did you buy a digital copy from a place other that the eShop?

That is just really dumb, why would you even do that?
That is not your concern, but it was because it was because the game was out of stock here so I searched for the game quicky and found that. (The seller has good reputation but it seems to be a trick)

Sounds like the classic credit card fraud account with all eshop games purchased! Lasts for 2 days :P.

But, digital game don't become sold out, why didn't you just use your credit card to buy it yourself?

Ok, thanks for the coments. But nothing usefull :P. So, unlinking the account (I already did it) will prevent my system to be banned?

The physical copy was sold out.

Yeah, I know it was stupid ok? You dont need to make me remember it so well jajaja. But dont "worry" about me. I'll be fine with future purcheases. I think it was stupid to ask in a place like this too.

    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.

    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
