There has only been 10 votes yet and we only need one honest vote against that theory and we know that it's not that... or at least not that alone.
Not necessarily. If someone was flagged for a ban, and then afterwards turned off information sharing, they might absentmindedly pick that option.
One vote against it wouldn't necessarily hold to disprove it, at least not without feedback from the voter.

Good thinking, thanks for correcting me.

the spotpass options has two settings, both of which can be enabled or disabled. I had enabled only the send info to nintendo one. Should I vote enabled?

edit: not banned btw.

Yes, that's the option we're interested about :P
Alright, seems I might be banned at a later date :D

Never got to thank you for your work, by the way, thank you very much for everything, and, in case this thing isn't reversible, you have helped me and my friends enormously during all this time. Cheers!

So, I went to settingt o turn Spotpass off. Turns out I already had it disabled. Which is weird, because I am sure I had it on and I was getting messages from it. So, my Spotpass got disabled at some point without my say so. Weird.

Since I have 2 3ds, and can only vote once, I'll just reply with my other 3ds status:
Send info setting off, not banned.

I have two 3DSs. Neither one is banned. Both were recently upgraded from A9LH to B9S and have downloaded games via FreeShop. Neither one was used to play games online for a very long time. One (New) had Spotpass settings turned off for as long as I can remember, the other (Old) had Spotpass settings turned on for as long as I've had it.

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