Great news for people who want to use their purchased hardware for things Nintendo won't allow... Ie watching movies on the great screen, using generic hdmi adapters, playing games they already purchased for older console versions, or backing up savegames.
Also great news for people who want to use their hardware for things that are actively against Nintendo's interests, like playing pirated games.
All around, seems like a story of us: 1, them: 0 story.
- voltagex_ 9y agoAlso archiving games+updates. I'll be backing up all my carts as soon as possible. Publishers lose code, assets, entire games (or decide to never re-release them).
- simcop2387 9y agoNot sure about the carts and saves but you can at least push patches and downloaded games to SD cards and back them up. They'll only work for your console as far as I'm aware but that's fine with me.for doing a backup.
- jake_the_third 9y ago> backing up savegames This. I decided against buying a switch because I discovered that it prevents owners from backing up save files. I still don't plan to buy a switch until nintendo supports backing up save files officially like they do with cross-region compatibility. Having to loose 100s of hours of progress for what amounts to an arbitrary reason from a nintendo bigwig is not something I am willing to stomach.
- letsgetphysITal 9y agoBuy used. Nintendo won't get a cent, you'll pay less, and you won't be hit so hard in the wallet if your device fails after this mod.
