There is plenty to fear on 10.4 though. It doesn't look like Nintendo is arbitrarily going to block games though, just the eshop versions with exploits.

The game was published by Ubisoft. It was developed by a company named AQ Interactive, which is now bankrupt. Ubisoft might be able to do something, but I doubt they have the source code, and I doubt they care.

wait is AQ Interactive bankrupt? didn't know that.

Yeah, sure, doesn't change the fact that 10.4 is breaking stuff

Nope, just plain 10.3 on SysNAND, I don't have CFW, EmuNAND or downgrade.

Downgrade now if you want to.

Downgrade now if you want to.

I've been trying for a week, but I always got a softbrick. No point doing it now, if I brick i'll have to update and lose access to my entrypoints.

Even if they DID care, Nintendo can't force people to go online and update a cartridge game. They sort of can with eShop titles (as they were downloaded from the internet anyway), but they can't block a random kid with no internet access from playing a legit cart of Cubic Ninja.

A comprehensive thread that fills in all the blanks from the OP. If this thread has left you with any questions, check there first.

Cheers,

makes sense

no shit. rip ubisoft

Ubisoft is the publisher not the creator. Ubisoft are very much alive and well, they are the 3rd largest publisher in the world. This story about the game being unpatched due to bankruptcy is something of and urban legend. Ubisoft more than likely own the rights and would not object to Nintendo patching the exploit if it were possible. There's little incentive to do so however as the cartridges are like hens teeth.

Yes they can, will they? Probably not.

They can not. Update data is linked via SD. When it's an eShop title, they can force update. A cart cannot be forced to update. All the data is stored in the cart.

Exactly the same for me, lol. I heard that a system format before downgrading would fix it, but no thanks.
