Just wanted some opinions here. I have been installing NSP games utilizing Tinfoil and remaining completely offline since i first even tinkered with RCM/CFW. I was hesitant to use Dev menu since I was trying to minimize my risk of getting banned if and when I do decide to roll the dice and go online ( With legit games). I would like to install DLC and updates with Dev menu. My question is does it really matter which I use to install NSPs or is my risk likely the same just having them on my system when booting into OFW and eventually trying to take a legit game online (Fortnite)

If you're planing to go online your risk is more or less the same, devmenu might have a higher risk since it's a Nintendo tool made for devs only

If you install any NPS files, you're at a higher risk of getting banned. You can be playing offline all you want but the moment you connect to the internet in OFW, you might get banned in the next upcoming ban wave. DLC is something I'm experimenting with BOTW. I really dont mind getting banned

can't the mods just create a sticky that makes it a bit more obvious for the special needs kids who post the same questions day in day out?

Where are you putting your nsp files on your sd for tinfoil? Whenever i use tinfoil they don't show up at all

Tinfoil is far better than Devmenu mainly because it doesn't matter who's NSP it is. Devmenu is probably going to die out soon my only use for it so far was managing to reset the update version on a game I reinstalled as a NSP instead of a cartridge but was missing the updates/DLC for. It was preventing me from playing the game, I managed to combat it.

If Tinfoil gets DLC/Update support then devmenu is dead at least in my eyes. There is some others things you can do in Devmenu but honestly, it's not what the majority of us want and it would be great if someone patched it to install any NSP but people on the Hekate side are so anal about piracy I don't think it'll ever happen. Stick with Tinfoil, unless you have the same problem with me with a game preventing you playing it then look for the NSP version of devmenu. That's just my opinion.

    @Vetusomaru, Sadly, not all communities like to play nice. Forums are pretty much dying despite Discord amongst other social media being available.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    i only kept my twitter accounts and only because many of the artists i like share their art only/mostly at twitter.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    lots of discord groups (even the big ones) are also dead for some reason.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Twitter is way too shittier.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    that's why i added some firefox addons to block shit like twitter trends.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Discord, on the other hand, moderation tends to not be very nice in video game communities from what I had experienced.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    nah, discord is also a shithole. discord is good only if you have your own community with your own rules. or if you re lucky to find some groups that arent shitholes.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    as about forums, when i recently revisited some old forums i used to be regular and seeing how immature most members still are i was like "Yeap. Nothing of value has been lost.". Unfortunately it's the good, comfy forums that ended up dead or shut down, especially because of internet centralization.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I like being immature.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Let be immature online ffs.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    As long as it's not resetera, anywhere is ok really.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    resetera is just... cancerous
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    is that Ultimate Hentai Kamen at your avatar?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I see you're a person of culture.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    likewise
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    It's a genuinely great manga.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    too bad it never got an anime adaption, even in the form of OVA since a tv series would be too censored for the manga's material.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    and yeah, great manga.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    no idea why it would be censored tbh, it has nothing to explicit
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    compared to most midnight anime that air in japan
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    we talk about same japanese tv that censors shit like teenage characters smoking
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I'd rather they censor smoking than cleavage like they do in the west.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Smoking is bad for your health, boobs are good
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    actually anime have also toned down fanservice a lot at the last 2 decades. when was the last time you saw nipples in anime that isnt hentai?
