Hacking VitaShell 1.9 Ban Message

[andrewharkins]

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.

Buddy, I had a heart attack and died.

LOL. I almost had a heart attack. So how long does this take? I changed date and it worked but when i turn it back, vitashell does not work again.

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 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.

Ah that's okay then. OP didn't mention that.

 

[Reploid]

wow, quite a jester

(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)
