So basically the way you load homebrew currently on the Switch is if you're on 1.0.0 or 3.0.0 you can exploit and load a web browser that Nintendo disabled to prevent any exploits from happening Everyone who uses the browser has the updates server blocked so it doesn't make you update when you go online and launch it, but in the last few days they somehow got most people who use the browser with a change to the browser that requires you to update to the latest firmware before you can use it, through a server that no one knew existed so it wasn't blocked People are flipping out because they did this with a behind the scenes update that no one agreed to or noticed until they tried to launch the browser so they kinda hacked everyone back

It turns out the problem was contact issues, I was getting occasional crashes on the other systems so I used the 'paper trick'. I guess the n3DS cartridge slot has just slightly different enough shape that it wouldn't connect at all but now everything's working perfectly.

Because I was on 4.0 and I was able to get to Gmail through Facebook on my switch browser.

The contact problem is well-known, and one that's been there since I got it new. https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Solving_Acekard_2i_Contact_Issues#The_TK_Paper_Trick I did the 'TK paper trick' using an index card. It recommends the thinnest paper possible and in the same breath suggests transparency plastic so idk... Copy paper didn't seem like it'd be effective.

It's 99% likely to be the same as the version check for the 3DS browser. It communicates with a server to check its version independent of firmware version and a 404 from that server is just an automatic pass. They likely never actually put the server up until now since there wasn't any real need to and either more people are using it now, they are worried about what people can do with it now, or are actually planning to add a normal browser now. No actual update on the consoles was likely done.

I was wasting my time with VC injects. I noticed a few games had scratchy audio so I gave up and went with snes9x for 3DS It runs everything flawlessly with no frames skipping. Even Super Mario RPG. Just make sure under options you change "SRAM Auto Save Delay" to disabled. There's quite a few snes emulators on the n3ds. Just make sure you're using the one that looks like this

So hearing all the news about the switch being hackable lately is making me antsy to play some of my favorite gba games again. I figure while I wait I might as well get around to modding my 3ds or Wii U, but hearing about people getting banned on 3ds for hacking their systems is giving me a bit of pause. Does getting banned on a system count for your entire account? As in, if I mod my 3ds and get caught by one of these ban waves am I just banned from the eshop or from playing anything online on my 3ds? If I do get myself banned on 3ds, does that only count for 3ds stuff? Can I still get on the eshop on my Wii U/Switch or play online on either of those consoles?

Also you don't get banned from the eshop, just everything else (i.e. multiplayer).

Ursine Catastrophe posted:Does that include “the pokemon bank” You can't access the Pokemon Bank on a banned system. However there are homebrew apps for importing and exporting Pokemon between games, so you can work around it. It might take a while for a Pokemon Switch save editor to get developed though.

Just back up your SD card, update, and then if it doesn't pan out restore it back.

Pretty much. 4.0.1 and earlier might be softmodable at some point, but currently only 1.0.0 can just enter RCM from homebrew right now. You'll still need a USB-C cable that plugs into Switch and computer to actually launch any software from it either way. (Just get a Pro controller or something) As for undetectable, the moment you boot back into the Horizon OS, software patches or no, all bets are off. Linux is undetectable because it never touches the OS, or even the NAND at all. Flagrama fucked around with this message at 23:13 on May 2, 2018 |

The initial exploit that lets you boot unsigned code is undetectable, but anything you do to the system after that might be detectable. Booting Linux from the SD card is probably safe provided you don't modify anything on the internal storage (since you're not running any Nintendo software, and not leaving any trace on the system to detect later) but as soon as you start tweaking the system software with CFW or custom bootloaders or whatever you're opening yourself up to detection. We don't know how aggressively Nintendo will check for this stuff, but they could, and we won't know they are until a bunch of people get banned.

Unless you are fortunate enough to have an extra Switch, probably best to wait a while to find out if Nintendo can detect it, and a ban looks like. Considering that this thing still uses friend codes, it's probably the same as the 3DS. They will ban your friend code seed, but you can just get another one from another switch. Or just use a public friend code seed until it gets banned and another one pops up.

If homebrew takes off and we get some good emulators, should consoles get banned for it I might just buy a second Switch for the sole purpose of homebrew and keep my current one for normal use/online play. A dedicated emulation machine with this form factor that I can play on my tv or pick up and use anywhere is incredibly appealing to me.

I’ll just stick with my 3DS for homebrew if Switches are getting banned. 3DS is arguably better suited for homebrew anyways due to having a dpad.

Switches aren't getting banned, nothing has happened yet. I'm just cautioning people that they could get banned since fail0verflows comments have been quoted without context and given the impression that CFW will be risk-free. Fail0verflow only said that dual-booting Linux and an unmodified Switch OS is undetectable. repiv fucked around with this message at 01:08 on May 3, 2018 |

[quote="Uncle at Nintendo" post=""483706682"] [/quote] snes9x is pretty great on old 3ds too. I mean, don't expect to play poo poo like Super Mario RPG or Starfox, but it works fine for most games without special chips.

Nintendo consoles tend to attract games designed around local multiplayer more than online play anyway. Think of online bans as less of a punishment and more of a way to encourage nerds to congregate and at least play in the same general vicinity.
