Hi

For some reason, when starting up VitaShell 1.9, I am getting a message saying something like "Unauthorized Soft has been detected, you have been banned" and it would lock up the vita.

Now, I am not actually banned. Everything works fine except VitaShell. I can uninstall VitaShell 1.9 and install 1.81 and it will work fine.

Then I had a look at the clock. It's April first. So I turned back the clock and VitaShell 1. works once again.

So...a bad joke from TheFlow.

That's a rather poor joke tbh. If it's that and then another pop up after saying "April fools" that would've been better. As it is it's just a tad too scary :P Hope nobody tried unbanning their stuff cause of this.

There is another pop up, then VitaShell goes back to working like normal. If you're patient enough and don't force your Vita to power off before it happens.

(maybe this means there's some meaningful features upcoming for vitashell, like license backup/restore, and icon layout backup/restore, should we really be using other programs for these) (perhaps a crc check for eboot files, or license fix for DLC that wasn't pulled with nonpdrm plugin)

    It was waiting for you to order another one.
    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.

    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.

    @SylverReZ find me ONE community that is free of drama and politics. even video games forums (like this one) have politics section. and for some reason gamers still take consoles/brands wars seriously. even as a kid i never took the console wars bait despite being a nintendo kid.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    one of the reasons i deleted all my social media accounts, reddit account (although i was rarely using it) etc was to get away from this shit.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @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.
