Recently, I've been doing some research & thinking about possible vulnerabilities to the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls lock. Here's my situation:
  • My switch is a Patched Mariko v2, and is updated past version 8.0.0
  • Since I don't have full ownership over the Switch, I can't install a modchip on it.
Here are some questions that I have about master key generation:
  • If I used Nintendo's official Master Key service and got a valid Master Key, could I make a reverse-engineered version of the mkey.salthax.org backend that takes the Inquiry number and the date of the Switch to find the Device ID, so that I could use the original mkey program?
  • On the topic of Nintendo's official Master Key service, once you've filled in all the fields and requested a master key, how does Nintendo give the Master Key to you? Does it display it on the webpage? Does it email/text it to you? If it is displayed on the webpage, does the key get fetched from an API?
  • What's the deal with PRODINFO? How would I extract the Device ID from it?

    Hi hi

    Just post on the Wii section if this is what you're looking for. https://gbatemp.net/forums/nintendo-wii.105/

    This isn't a place like Reddit or Discord.

    The general chit-chat is usually for off-topic banter or what-have-you, and a lot of modding-related questions go unnoticed quite quickly due to other on-going talks.

    Hey guys quick question: How can there be handwriting's that "looks like a guys" and "looks like a girls" ?
  • OctoAori20 @ OctoAori20:
    Hrm... Idunno-
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Cranesbill, Everybody's writing is unique, doesn't necessarily apply differently to gender.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I write usually in curved and fancy, because this is how my family writes.
  • Cranesbill @ Cranesbill:
    Grammar doesn’t matter in this situation
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @IAMXVII mholdschool discord server, for one
  • Cranesbill @ Cranesbill:
    I’m saying like there was someone who wanted to know whose paper this was since there was no name and he said, “It’s probably a guy since it has a guy handwriting”
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    which is probably where you found the patch
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    wtf is "guy handwriting"
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @IAMXVII making a thread in the right section always gets better answers than the shoutbox
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @The Real Jdbye, Discord servers should never be a dumping ground, that results to gatekeeping and becoming lost forever. But what IF Discord never existed? Surely that would eradicate the problem.
  • Cranesbill @ Cranesbill:
    THATS WHAT IM FUCKING ASKINH HOLY SHIT
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @The Real Jdbye, "wtf is 'guy handwriting'?" - That's what I'm guessing. Is this somewhat a stereotype or am I misunderstood?
  • Cranesbill @ Cranesbill:
    Okay you know what bye bye
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Girls usually have a more prim and proper handwritting.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Guys usually have a messier handwriting.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    There are exceptions but it is usually this.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Could be seen as a stereotype, but it does fit in most cases.
