Hacking Question Playing Lets Go early = banwave?

[Kubas_inko]

Any down side to installing it by selecting ignore fw version?

nope.

 

[Giotis]

works fine on 5.1 installed via devmenu

You can bypass FW version with tinfoil, but otherwise, I guess so.

Do you mean, by updating the switch firmware without burning fuses like this? Or what do you mean with "bypass FW version"?

He means bypass FW version when using Tinfoil, but it doesn't always work (Mario Party was one of those cases for me) so I updated to 6.0.1 without burning fuses and then it worked, so can't say it will work with 5.1

In tinfoil, there is an option to ignore FW version when installing NSPs.

I'm sure there will be a massive banwave due to people playing it early, much like the Sun & Moon fiasco. Then all the kiddies will come here crying and asking how to unban.

I used tinfoil and bypassed the fw and am able to play the game on 5.1.0 on sxos

Will I also be able to play the original cardridge with this method?

 

[ZachyCatGames]

I'm playing offline, but before I even started my game, I moved the system clock ahead to November 16th, just as an added precaution.

That won’t do anything

 

[Axido]

You can't get banned if you already are.

 

[Kubas_inko]

Like you are on 5.1.0 and you want to play cartridge games which needs 6.1.0? Nope.

 

[MSco]

Are there any benefits from staying at 5.1.0 than updating to 6.1.0?
Switch 6.1.0 is as hackable as 5.1.0, right?

 

[matias3ds]

i am superban and dont care online , waiting to get home to play the game :-)

Just a warning to everyone: If you see Lets Go Pikachu.NSP out in the wild DO NO INSTALL IT! IT WILL BRICK YOUR SWITCH

Yeesh. I'd like to use hactool to go ahead and see what's actually inside of it.

This is why I'm paranoid with NSPs and always extract them with hactool first if they're not from a verified place.

No, there is one particular one that is bricking switches, if you have any form of brains you'll make sure others have confirmed the one you're going to download is working before putting it on your switch. People getting bricks are just plain stupid, and so many of those people also have no nand backup.

This particular one is supposedly Malware meant to be shared on DarkUmbra to fuck with them.

Pretty sure there is only ONE of them out in the wild so far and it's the bricker. Supposedly malware meant to fuck with the people on DU. If there's more than one out there in the wild, well better safe than sorry right now. The specific one that's bricking Switches is Pokémon_ Let's Go, Pikachu![010003f003a34000][v0]

There is a legitimate Let's Go Eevee. Not a Pikachu, though. To my knowledge.

Yes, the Eevee version is legit, the Pikachu one isn't. When i said there is only one out in the wild i mean one Pikachu version

At this point, Nintendo is happily banning for sneezing wrong next to a Switch console.
People are so afraid of the ban, yet their online service is sub-par to say the least. Embrace your ban, enjoy games, enjoy CFW and homebrew, backup your stuff and just enjoy your console.
