My original list still lies at https://pastebin.com/nEZbsv3F . Just Google a titleID to find that game's name and region.
It's way worse now. I was in the process of trying to use my PC to snag all the USA releases that were still available and I think Nintendo is actively updating EVERY game on the eShop to now require proper authentication. Even random crap like "Family Bowling 3D" won't download now. Easy days are over, folks.

Just grab them manually and install. Only a few extra steps.

You're right, Nintendo blocked a total of 2852 titles now. See the updated list at https://pastebin.com/68T0brhj .

I guess blocking just a few games was just a beta testing, seeing it worked it's being enforced on pretty much all games now.

No.... this was said a thousand times: This ONLY affects CDN downloads, NOT installing through CIAs, NOT online play and NOT already installed games.
Okay.

You really did not have to be rude. :(

When you see something like authentication, it can mean ANYTHING. It could have meant checking if games being accessed on a device are legit. You never know. Ninety could have e backdoor implemented something like that.


Honestly, i rather ask and answer a question several times because of how something is now worded different and safe, than play it fast and loose. I get that it can be an inconvenience, but people are worried.

It just affects CDN downloaded stuff, due to the change in NIM in 11.8.

I called this in another topic. Essentially CDN apps would become worthless, though I expected it to be slower. I assumed they would start incrementally rolling out the checks after the initial protection on their first-party titles.

I'm not sure how it affects PC-based ones such as Villain3DS, but even if it works for now (assuming you have a titlekeys list) it wouldn't take much extra time to fix.

I guess Nintendo finally hired some people who know cyber security.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
