Homebrew [Release] UpdateSuppressor

[peteruk]

Threw together a quick program to automate this. https://github.com/GiantBlargg/UpdateSuppressor/releases/

Just pick the program to suppress and it'll do it's thing.

This is exactly what was needed, an automated process, thank you for making this

I look forward to seeing the future developments

Thanks to @Giantblargg, he made a little program to remove the update message

FYI, I've had the versionList server, tagaya-ctr.cdn.nintendo.net, blocked on my router for months (since before the Ironfall 1.2 update was released). I've never seen the nag and regularly have Internet enabled on my 3DS. If you can block domains on your router or have your own DNS set up you can block it that way. It hasn't hurt anything so far on my end.

@Giantblargg

Is this just for Ironfall or will work with other games ?

The program works great thanks, tested on The Binding Of Isaac, the nag is gone and the game is functioning as it should

Great release, thank you !!

Not sure ? Perhaps cos this is now a guide ??

Should add Release to the title too really, seeing as we have automated process for all games and not just Ironfall

If a mod see this can you rename this thread to "[Release] UpdateSuppressor" and please move it back to "3DS - Hombrew Development and Emulators"

 

[DutchyDutch]

can we use the Nintendo 3DS Folder to add games for free if we can encrypt them via files from other ones

Please tell me you're kidding...

Put this in the first post. Can we remove update message from tubehax?

Already did, and I think yes

You'll be able to remove the nag which appears in the System Menu (which is where versionList is downloaded and checked), but the update check in YouTube itself is separate, so it would be fairly pointless.

We have again working tubehax!

 

[Ptrk25]

Nah, I don't think so. Try it yourself

Unfortunately not. This only works for the update nag on the Home menu.

Ok

Can we do the same for the internet brower ? ^^

"The same", no. The checks against the versionList are different to the update check performed by the browser.

That said, from what I've heard, it would be theoretically possible to use browserhax to write to the browser's save data in order to spoof that the update check has been passed. But there are two issues to consider in that regard: you need to already be able to use browserhax to do this, so people who have hit the error on original 3DS are out of luck, and it may only last for 24 hours, before the browser would check for updates again and lock the user out, so a (purely hypothetical) update check spoofer would need to be the first port of call any time you sought to use the browser.

To my awareness, none of that has been tested though, and even assuming that it would work, it's still minimally useful (temporarily re-enabling browserhax by using browserhax; why not just use browserhax if you already can?), so whether anyone will put in the work is an open question. I hope so, personally: the New 3DS's browser YouTube is far superior to the native app, but at best it's an inessential feature. For most users, the primary use for the browser is browserhax, and spoofing the check in this way would only really benefit the small subset of users who actually want to use the browser as a browser.
