What happens if the name I want to use is already being used by someone else?
I think that would be worst, the point of the server side is that hacker cant see how it works without accessing the server (which not will be highly illegal), by putting said protocol into the games, its no longer illegal for teh hackers to look at it and reverse it.
Weird that data is transferred from the source's Switch to other Switches when supposedly the images are all supposed to be from a predetermined list. You'd think for viewing another person's avatar, my console would just be given a "display 33.jpg" command and look up my local file, rather than get a copy of 33.jpg over the 'net.
oic.
oic.
How's the online on WiiU? I haven't played on it since I got my copy of MK8D last year assuming its going to be a shitshow of cheaters and hackers.
But the mii avatars are pretty customizable. I think that's why this is possible at all. Mii avatars are posed and framed by the users
It's been said a few times earlier in the thread but a developer illegally sold a Switch Dev Kit on eBay. Not sure if it's the same Dev Kit but a buyer proceeded to distribute the software & encryption keys from a Dev Kit on the internet.
Comment from another forum concerning the banwave that is currently happening on hackers Switch's that connect online.
"Lol. Just occurred to me 39 pages in and none of us know how Nintendo's doing it. But they did it in record time."

They did. They absolutly did since the beginning of online games on consoles.
If you want to know why Nintendo was so late for online gaming...
What the fuck. Is there a way for Nintendo to track that Dev down? That is such a huge breach of trust with immense consequence.
I assume Nintendo have the ban hammer out on those that dare to venture online with a hacked switch.
Surely they must have been able to track down the dev kit? At least i hope they have a means to track down these kits. Oof.
Oh that sucks for it to have been a Dev stolen dev kit would have been a better look for the industry but for a Dev to do this smh
should not be hard to look for Dev Kits not online or on different IP addresses than the one they were before, is not like there is a myriad of dev kits on the wild, so finding the stupid enough to do it wont be hard. and yes, this is breach of contract and NDA so expect some lawsuit if not straight the Yakuza or Ninjas
is not only who stole it but the buyer is on deep shit too ause he distributed the dev Menu, that is nintendo licensend software, not a reversed or homebrew so this is room for more legal actions. anyone involved in this is in for a surprise of the bad kind
i suppose all they could do is ask ebay for the data of the user that sold the devkit..but i don't know if they have to or are willing to comply
yes and no, the current whole scene relay on a hardware exploit (blame of Nvidia) that is being phased out by a new System on a Chip that is coming out. remove that flaw and the whole scene is basically close to zero about how to breach the console as all the software holes were patched in 5.0.0
people dont even know how Nintendo is keeping track or where hidding the logs of the Switch, many have been banned after Installing home brew/ swapping back to "legal FW", playing online,
Basically they are bragging about going into a house cause a guest left the door open, when that door is closed they are out
I think this is a pretty serious problem now.
I'm not gonna pay for online to play with hackers.
if it makes you feel better, likely neither are hackers, a disposable account now becomes a 20$ investment every time they feel like trolling,
They won't even need that. All menudevs are flagged differently, all they have to do (and they probably did already) is getting their hands on those publicily-available devkeys, identifying the devkit in question, look at who acquired it in the first place and send the yakuza there.
im actually surprised it has not make it to any of the vidya news outlets that someone fucking sold a Switch Dev Kit on Ebay
Jesus calm down.
What I said is 100% valid given the content of the OP. If you don't understand it that's fine, but don't be a dick. The profile pictures are stored server side, and the Switch OS by default only allows selection from a predefined list. It's common sense that if some profile picture on the server isn't one from that list then it was done with this tool.

technically they can pay for just a month as well, but that's still money down the drain when you get instabanned for going online with hacks like a fucking idiot
but also you have to buy a new switch to play online again, so i guess it's still expensive!
You completely ran in a direction I wasn't describing. Again I'm talking about getting the games and patches OFFLINE. Without touching Nintendo's servers. If they're not going to force people to go online to receive any patch, choosing to never ship physical games with patches or other content added down the line, then there's nothing they can do to stop that stuff from being distributed if its obtained physically.
You're trying to act as if you're an authority figure on the issue and you cant even wrap your head around all the ways games are obtained.
They already are, the thread in gbatemp is feast for the eyes
