Hacking RELEASE HACDN v3 - Safely download your Switch eShop purchases on your PC

Can this be used to download system titles without your cert

 

[Loke]

Lol, that was a rather strange turn of events.

This shit is getting intense

Also, what fenomeno0chris said. Cursing like a sailor all the time doesn't make you seem cool. Calm down, take a breath, it's not that serious.

AFAIK, ShinyQuagsire never used this tool, he was banned for other reasons. Simon just gave a reason why he's afraid Ninty might come after him too.

Updated to v5, now gets title names using a different method.

Source only, no compiled binaries will be provided.

What about the 100% safe stuff?
What about other (better) devs telling you youre program is unsafe/shit?

Its like the bad implementation is the reason why people get banned. Nice work dude

How about you try saying that again, this time without being a dick?

So this allows us to download XCI files? If not, what format do the files come in?

No; it does not download XCI files. It downloads the official encrypted files from the Nintendo content server(s).
Additional Notes (because many don't read): This also requires your Switch's Device ID. So, if you use it to download content you haven't purchased, it leaves you susceptible to a ban (Unlikely, but supposedly it has happened).

Why is this program still being used when this exists? As a person that has read and ported the code of this, I wouldn't trust this app as far as I can throw it, and seeing as its a bunch of code throwing it is pretty difficult. As for getting banned by association, if you ever plan on making homebrew, why would you

1. Use the same username as one you use regularly online.
2. Use software you developed that you know is risky.
3. Allow one account of being banned instantly cause you to stop posting binaries of code. Removing binaries will not give you a free pass from Nintendo.
4. Assume that the average person can't google "How to compile VB code" or "How to compile .Net Framework code"

EDIT: Forgot to say that we don't even know for sure why ShinyQuagsire got banned, for all we know it could be "libnx errors getting reported" or "[using] hbl+pega on [his] main unit before so it wasn't pure." "Should have cleaned up better before updating."
