Hacking Attention to all Switch owners with FW 1.0

[Deleted-368796]

You had me up until this part. You want everyone to share equally in the cost, except for yourself. Is that like a finders fee? Just shell out the money for one game, god damn you. Nintendo deserves at least that much. The entire Nintendo catalog is not worth a single dollar to you?

Whoa dude. Either I am misunderstanding your post, or you have clearly misunderstood my stance. Have you read any of the other comments I've made on this forum?
I was not trying to get a free game, as it seems several are accusing me of. I do not really have any desire to play Puyo, and I thought many others would not either. Hence why I made the offer so we all don't have to shell out $55+ for a game we will never play.
Based on my previous replies in this section, I think I've made it pretty clear that I have a heart and take everyone's perspective into consideration. Including Nintendo.
I've gone even as far as to defend them on occasion when I felt they were being falsely accused as well.

You forget something kind of important. There is no persistent hax. You need the cart _every time_.

Not if there is an persistent exploit that needs to be installed, or CFW.

no

Not sure who you were replying to. Mind elaborating?

I'd like to throw out a proposition. A cheaper way for those of us on 1.0 to utilize the entry point for the browser.

The idea: I would import a copy of that specific game that has the browser entry point, and mail it around to all of those who need it for their 1.0 consoles.
( I am intentionally not mentioning the name of the game for bot and website scraping reasons. Scalpers are rampant with Nintendo related items. )
Everyone that uses the cart would in part pay a small portion of the cost.
At around 9-10 members, the cost would be ~$5 each. The more people that want to do this, the cheaper it would be for all. At 20 members, we would be below $3.

Each member would be responsible for shipping the cart to the next member. The previous member would be covering the shipping cost to you. This could be as low as $2.xx
Unfortunately, this would have to be a USA only offer, as cross-border freight costs would be prohibitive.
If members in other countries would like to take part in something similar, they would need to organize an agreement for their area.


Now this all depends greatly on how CFW and homebrew is implemented. But if the cart is only needed once, just to install an exploit or CFW, then no one would need the cart beyond that one time use.
This thread is only to see if there is enough interest to be worthwhile. If there is interest, and once something substantial is released, we can then decide if this method would be sensible.

I do not know if this is a good or bad idea. Was thinking of ideas that could benefit the GBAtemp community, and this thought crossed my mind.
Comment below if this is of interest to you. We need to gauge if this option is worth considering.

I live in the Netherlands... probably gonna cost more then 5 bucks

I did not conclude that you wanted one game for free, I concluded that you wanted Nintendo's entire catalog for free. If you are not planning to contribute your fair share of the game's actual cost besides shipping, as you stated before in the text I put in bold letters, then that is what you seem to be planning on getting. Every game... for the Switch... for free. I did not mean to imply your master plan was to play Tetris in Japanese, although I imagine it would be about the same as English Tetris.

You might start off with a more reasonable pitch, like sharing the cost of the game, if you expect others to do the same.

The cart is going to be needed every time.

Alright, thanks SciresM for the info. Makes this entire debacle moot.

Mods, please delete. Enough of this.

Everytime? So what is the point of this whole idea than -_-

Well, we were not aware that it would be needed everytime till just now. I am actually glad that he popped in and informed us.
Takes the pressure off my back now.
