    Safety of pointing Nintendo servers to 95.216.149.205

    How is it entrapment? Nintendo did not entice people to use 95.216.149.205 - everyone is doing it of their own accord. What would be Nintendo's liability? I'm certain their TOS (which we all click through to use the switch) covers/protects them for anything the Switch does during its...

    Safety of pointing Nintendo servers to 95.216.149.205

    Nintendo isn't forcing anyone to connect to 95.216.149.205. Virtually everyone who is running a hacked switch is connecting to 95.216.149.205. If Nintendo takes control of it (which isn't far-fetched because we know how litigious they are), they instantly know who is running a hacked switch...

    Safety of pointing Nintendo servers to 95.216.149.205

    Thanks for replying - my concern is less about them going offline and more about them changing their server so that it does something malicious. I don't know what that "something malicious" might be - but perhaps there would be a way to reshape the traffic in-transit so that every request gets...

    Safety of pointing Nintendo servers to 95.216.149.205

    Pretty much all of the instructions on the net for setting up your switch for running CFW (e.g. Atmosphere) indicate the following DNS redirects: 95.216.149.205 *conntest.nintendowifi.net 95.216.149.205 *ctest.cdn.nintendo.net My question is - who owns 95.216.149.205 and is it safe to rely on...

    Editorial Digital downloads vs. physical copies of games - which do you prefer?

    I only game on consoles (no PC gaming) so 99.9% physical because I prefer to own things. Digital = rental. Once you've lost a digital game because of "reasons" it's hard not to eye all of them suspiciously. I've read about the drama concerning publishers like limitedrun being exploitative, but...

    Hacking Discussion Poll: Which NSP/XCI installer do you use?

    I've seen lots of pros/cons for various installers. I'm curious to see what the majority of people are using (and why). Please vote and add your comments for why you prefer your favorite installer.

    Hacking Atmosphère with sig patches from ReiNX. (Backup loading)

    Strictly [A-Z][a-z][0-9]? Not even underscores? (e.g. GameName.nsp is good, but game_name.nsp won't work?) auto This was posted recently that seems to indicate it can convert XCI to NSP - I haven't heard anyone comment on it yet though...

    How you clear your mind at night?

    Slightly different question than OP - anyone have any tricks for falling back asleep in the middle of the night? I can usually fall asleep, but usually I wake up several hours earlier than I wish and I can't get back to sleep due to busy-brain

    Things you have fixed/modded recently

    Replaced a fan in a DVR that was beginning to sound like a jet turbine - very satisfying

    Which video game have you played the longest?

    I think I may have spent the most time on Ultima 3 because I played it when it was new and there were no guides (I was also fairly young at the time)

    Nintendo seeks takedown of open source emulator with bundled ROMs

    Yeah you're just asking for it if you host ROMs. I appreciate people keeping the systems/games alive, but I can't necessarily fault Nintendo for taking action. There are actually laws that state if you don't protect your IP, you abandon it and it falls to public domain. They still do make...

    Could you get along with a clone/temporal counterpart of yourself?

    I have seriously fantasized about this concept. It would be excellent. I could be living with myself (or possibly two of them) and we'd be earning 2x/3x the income and have a super-cushy life. Or we could just keep a single job and alternate weeks. One week of gaming, one week of work. I...

    If you could live or go on a vacation anywhere in the world where would you go?

    I've generally been intrigued by the stories of Akihabara - it may not be what it used to be any more, but I'd like to take a quick peek at it some time. I can't see myself spending any significant amount of time in the area though - I much prefer nature over cities

    Do you like your voice?

    Yeah listening to yourself on a recording is....odd.... Doesn't sound anything like what you hear in your head.

    Things you recently bought or got

    My son recently got an Occulus Rift - he had my wife try out one of those "ripcord" games and within 3 minutes she had taken it off saying "nope - mm-mm - nope I'm out" :P
