That's really surprising that they're willing to tell you the exact ban reason. Did you have to ask something specific to get that information?
Yeah I acted like a 9 year old who got it for christmas that didnt know shit they were on about, so to act like big smart dogs, they responded to me in detail, Social Engineering at its finest

so they are cheking the titles ID, that is why they can´t Ban us if we restore a clean nand dump. the problem is that we don´t know where is that information on de OFW. maybe we can modiffy it to show that were jut playing one game or somthing like that.

Were you ever online while using Dev Menu? And was it the nsp version (definitive version or other?) of it, or LFS?

Most likely titleid. Possibly occured from using DevMenu and/or layeredfs
So for clarification, do you mean, when connected to wifi, they checked the id of all titles installed and found an illegally installed id and or one that should not have been there?

>something something there's a thread for this

This isn't the first time Nintendo was upfront about why they banned someone. Another user called Nintendo and was told they were banned for going from having error logs to having completely clean error logs. Also, if this is really referring to DevMenu, its not surprising in the slightest but I suppose I could this bit of detail for anyone who remotely thinks they won't be banned for using it.

While I dont disable wifi/airplane mode, I dont believe I actually went "Online" after using dev menu (without a restart), it was 100% not the nsp version, only LayeredFS, i NEVER installed ANY nsp of it

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Whats odd, is lets say it was DevMenu that triggered the ban, why was it picked up as an illegal "ROMID"/titleid, if layeredfs on Pokemon Quest? It would only be picked up in logs as pokemon quest's id. :/

People shouldn’t be surprised that their console is banned. IF you want online play den the same platform, buy two consoles. The money saving is still worth it for the people that “test the games before they buy”.

Sounds like there's something deeper going on. Maybe they really know what you're doing even with LayeredFS.

    Sorry you're not good with Windows Sylvester. lol
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Because co-pilot doesnt even show up on my pc. Not in the taskbar, not in the start menu search, and the option in settings to turn it on and off in the taskbar is not even displayed.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Well, I complain about Microsoft all the time. You seem to enjoy it, no offense. If you like using Windows, that's fine by me.

    Liking Windows or not is an opinion. Yes.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Being able to disable copilot is not an opinion. lol. its a fact that it can be disabled.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Yet you just laugh about it when I tell you, like Im lying
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    People can dislike Windows all they want. But I will call out the over-exaggerations, misconceptions, half truths, and lies about it.

    Tired of the entire "BUT BUT BUT WINDOWZ SPYWARE!!!" thing too, when the same people give out tons of their personal info to plenty of other companies but say nothing about it.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @RedColoredStars, Companies do the exact same thing with other companies as well, so it's not just Microsoft. There are 3rd-parties like 'data brokers'.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    I'm 52 years old and one of my jobs in life was marketing research. Im well aware. I've been online for around 30 years. Everyone and their grandmother already has my personal information. One more having my email address isn't ruining my life or even effecting me in any way whatsoever.

    $300 back last year from Rakuten for allowing them to track my purchase. I'll take the money for them to know I bought a bunch of stuff for my cat and some video games. lol

    @K3Nv2, Exactly.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    And for people to say things like "But I use all fake info". No, they don't. lol. They use fake info for all of their banking and online shopping? Fake shipping address, fake payment info? lol
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Fake name, address and payment info for internet service, etc? lol. Ill say it again. Everyone freaks out about OMG WINDOWS!! But crickets on anything else they do.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Other windows stuff people complain about hypocritically too. Like "But but but Windows bundle junk apps!!!!" Yeah?? So do many Linux distributions. Dont like it? Use one without them. Same with windows. Either find a pre-made version without the bundled stuff, or very easily make your own installer with what you want and do not want.

    I dont like the stuff added either. I have zero use for copilot or recall. But I also just simply disable it and move on.
