Nintendo: WHAT!? HE UPDATED A BACKUP!? SMITE HIM! But still let him update his backups.

:rofl2:

I think it might be related to how theyr online service works. It isnt centralized.

Update servers are treated as a priority service, like basic support to avoid further problems.

Then other layers of services are dependant on validations, witch these users dont pass, because they have been flagged... :gun:

Edit: Once an algorithm is in place to deal with this situation properly it should be instaban.

I was using Eshop on LayeredFS, and even booted two games Donkey Kong and Mario+Rabbids, but They're not connecting with online servers immediately like in Super Mario Odyssey. Not banned yet. I think most people who were banned and were using SX OS played SMO with wifi enabled. I didn't got any connection error from Nintendo and only used those games as donnors which were checked out as working. Maybe that's why I'm still standing :P

From what I observed in this thread, almost banned cases relate to LayeredFS. It's not about LayeredFS itself but crash logs (a lot).

Same here. And no one using LayeredFS is stating if they used it in SX OS or Hekate. I assume SX OS, but it would be nice if they would state that. Or just make their own LayeredFS thread to track it instead.

SX doesn't support LayeredFS yet if I'm not mistaken.

Updated Games on SX OS, got the same Message while playing DOOM.
I really don't care for Multiplayer, Updates still work though

If you got a similar message while playing a game I think u got the banned cert message. This message appears only in legit games and eshop. Please check the error code if it matches the images I posted.

Ok just checked and no ban here.
Here's what I've done:

Used: SX OS with no saved internet connection, updated backups in ofw only with a real catridge in the active slot.

Never used: layered fs in anyway, sx os online, Homebrew online, played backups online, or received a unique error code of any kind.

Of course I know I'm risking a ban evetually, but it looks like my precautions have saved me for now.

Got-banned-today user here, wasn't using SX OS. Everything I did that could be considered a ToS breach was done in Airplane mode with the access point physically turned off. Woke up to a 2124-4007.
My guess is HBL and LayeredFS crash logs being sent to Nintendo (despite having been turned off in System Settings).
Oh well, what you gonna do.

When you say LayeredFS, does that mean you've used it to play backups?

I'm on 4.0.1 and never booted anything besides SX OS always in airplane mode / no wifi settings.

Will not go online for the next 2 months I guess. I don't care that much for nintendo multiplayer but I'll try to stay away from a ban while I can.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
