How This Cart Dumper Could Get Your Switch Banned

[@Essu_]

Crazy thing is; this is actually making Nintendo grin from ear to ear because they've been looking for a reason to get rid of the used game market since the 80s.

[@zhaumbie]

Exactly. This is Nintendo's biggest W in a long time

[@TheIrkenEmpire420]

​@spookydooms But eventually that'll turn into an L the moment everyone starts only pirating new games, costing them.

[@zhaumbie]

@@TheIrkenEmpire420 Pirated =/= multiplayer. You take a pirated game online with Nintendo and your console’s severed from the servers immediately. No more online multiplayer for Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, Mario Maker, Smash Bros, Splatoon, Mario Party, whatever other games I can’t think of, and any third-party games like Rocket League, Minecraft, and Fortnite. That’s not a L for Nintendo. They’ll be fine.

People who cheer on an all-digital future are part of the problem

[@markschwartz9905]

Nintendo has ZERO control over if a game becomes pirated or not. All it takes is ONE person to download the game on a hacked switch, then dump it and put it on the internet.But releasing games digital only does seem like a possibility.

[@nintendfriendspod]

It’s insane to think that buying used games can essentially get your switch banned. All the folks buying used games because maybe it’s more affordable are really gonna end up getting hurt. Sad day. 😔

[@Brainy1422]

Im not even convinced "buying new" will save you. I dont know if it is still the case, but GameStop used to let you borrow games as a employee perk. The catch is. Said game was then resold as new (there was no evidence as games are not sold sealed). Add in amazon mixing stock with 3rd parties and its a recipe for disaster.

[@name6770]

plus, what if people buy games, dump them, then return them. there's no way to know that your game is safe

[@Shavin25]

us aussie gamers are at risk cuz switch games here don’t come sealed for some reason

[@ccricers]

I first had that experience long ago when buying a "new" Dawn of Sorrow for my DS. Someone had already saved a game on it

[@AlbedoAtoned]

It's actually even worse. I've bought games that were supposed to be brand new only to find out that despite being sealed, somebody had gotten into them and removed things that were supposed to be in them. Some stores have had controversies with opening all of their games and storing the discs/carts elsewhere as well. Meaning it is entirely possible for somebody to go out of their way to buy a new copy, only to find out later through being banned that some employee or something grabbed a used copy that had at one point been dumped, or potentially a new copy that they or another employee had used to dump a copy to upload online.

[@westernllamas]

Oh shit. Well we are cooked.

[@zhaumbie]

Oh yeah, GameStop got into hot water during the 360 era for this with some major releases. And the industry didn’t just stop doing it

[@mewnuxwolf]

I guess I won't buy used switch games until the Switch servers shut down. I will not risk getting banned just because I wanted to buy a used game

In a weird way, Nintendo might like this thing because in a while the used market will be risky, so more people go to brand new copies. Could be an L for people looking for a deal and a W for Nintendo's pockets. Either way, great video, it's nice to be aware of this kind of stuff for the future!

I preordered a Mig Switch Dumper back in January, I'm convinced it ain't coming unfortunately EDIT: IT ARRIVED TWO DAYS AGO LET'S GOOOOOO

[@GreenLeefMusic]

Yeah I am hearing a lot of people who have ordered in January and still haven't received it, including many KZbinrs. Hopefully just supply chain issue and not scammers. I did hear the mig switch team made a response to this situation that there was a delay and that they were going to reach out to suppliers to let them know that they need to give update emails to people who are still waiting, so hopefully they are sorting it out. That is a long time to wait. Me personally I will wait until the hype slows down and then maybe I will consider getting it.

Just keep your receipt/proof of purchase in case you get banned. Even if a lot of online communites say they're gonna do XYZ, it's still a less than 1% chance of anyone running into the problem.

[@zhaumbie]

Nintendo has never, ever unbanned a console. They don’t even have an appeals process Give them the receipt. They’ll wipe their ass with it and tell you to buy new

[@BallinBalla]

The new game returns issue is a real concern. How is Nintendo going to make someone whole if they were victims to playing a game that they bought retail that's 100% legit but they were unaware if the game was dumped prior? Considering the mig copy and the real cartridge are identical in every way, how would they tell who has the retail copy in their hands? It seems kinda BS to just outright ban that game certificate without any recourse.

[@joe_schmoe_420]

They ban the console I'd, not the game cert If they just banned the game cert, you'd be fine

[@zhaumbie]

Nintendo has ZERO console banning appeals process. If they bother to put one into motion seven years later for this, I’ll buy a hat and eat it

[@zhaumbie]

They also famously despise used game sales and have never valued customers who participate in them. Not since the ‘80s

[@GreenLeefMusic]

This is a really great and very well explained video. 👍🏻 I do have a question about the situation where people might dump used games and sell them back to retailers. Couldn't this have also already been a problem with people using hacked Switches too? They can dump the games as well of course, so I would think this could've already been a potential risk with buying used games, though maybe at a smaller scale since it required hacking and/or modchipping & soldering work. This just also seems like a W for Nintendo as this will scare people away from the used market and force them to buy new, which will make Nintendo and devs more money vs buying used.

[@Cyko..]

The reason why copies downloaded off the internet work on modded Switches is because people who have modded Switches KNOW you don't go online with your emuNAND on your modded Switch. You will get banned. I see what you are saying, and I know that if I made a copy of my game so I could still play it and sell the physical copy to make a profit, I personally would not go online with my dumped copy. Why would I risk getting my own Switch banned? The problem here is that people unknowingly will buy a PHYSICAL copy from a 2nd hand store like eBay, Pawn shop, Game Stop, garage sale, etc of the game and think nothing about it, then go online with their normal unmodded legit Switch and poof, get banned because somewhere out there on the internets somebody else went online with a copy that had the same certificates like he mentioned in this video of the physical game.

[@DammitJeff]

People with hacked switches have plugins designed to block all connections with online servers. They’re sandboxed in a way that doesn’t touch the outside world. The difference now is, these tools don’t need a hacked switch. Meaning anyone that connects to online servers can use them. Even stock devices.

[@gregjarvis1232]

So do you need to hookup to a stealth server like the xbox360 as well as the plugins to not get banned online witha modded switch

[@rockapartie]

The major difference is: Game backups for modded Switches don't contain anything that ties them to a unique source. Even if you go online with a cartridge rip (that's now an E-Shop install on your modded Switch), Nintendo can only tell that you're playing something that your account never bought (by circumventing the DRM on a system level) and will ban your system, but they can't tell where the game came from. Original cartridges are completely unaffected; shared E-Shop downloads can't be traced back to the original buyer as well. The situation is different with MIG Switch, which requires the distribution of unique cartridge certificates.

[@Junior-wo7fg]

I’m not gonna lie, during the 3DS era, I did do this (11:38). In my defense these signatures and certifications weren’t around yet and I was pretty young but it was nice to get a $70 eshop card for my Wii U and never have to switch cartridges on my 3DS 🙏

[@betaswithWack0]

it's kinda funny that people are talking about this NOW that there's a public dumper (that doesn't require additional hacks or glitchchips on the console side), given that I predicted this years ago as soon as people found carts had a signed cart-unique CERT sector. although I was mainly thinking about trolls buying games, dumping CERT (without ever using it in their own console), returning the games, and then uploading the CERTs publicly some time later so N would ban the cart and thus any console using that CERT. i didn't think that people would be stupid enough to buy games, dump them, and return them, with a risk of their OWN console getting banned too if they ever went online with that dumped game later. but i guess i forgot about "think of the average person then realise 50% are dumber than that".

[@BaconFearMC]

When I’m typing this, I haven’t watched this specific video yet, but I have heard Jeff speak on this topic before, so here’s the TLDR version of how this effects you if don’t buy one (take this with a grain of salt) Here’s the scenario: Someone buys a Switch game; (legally, through Amazon, GameStop, etc.). They dump their game with the device shown (completely legally, as Nintendo allegedly allows this for emulators). They then return their game they bought (to Amazon, GameStop, etc.). Then, Amazon, GameStop, etc. sells these games as reused (unaware someone dumped this specific copy, with this specific ID (while for an example, I’ll use 420). The person buys the ID:420 game, (which someone else dumped), then you use the legally bought game on your switch. Nintendo sees, “hey this person is using ID:420 game, but that person (the one who dumped and returned it) has already been using it, so this person (the who bought it reused), but must be hacking. Then they ban the person who just bought it reused… So…… be careful buying used games (or just DONT anymore)…

I have a heart-felt request. I don’t know if it fits your motif exactly but a video titled “best games to emulate without a controller” would be sweet.

[@Nokout21]

Back in the PS1 days, I knew guys who would rent from blockbuster just to rip games then sell the copies for five dollars a pop. I'm surprised this is still going on.

[@rockapartie]

Of course it is, especially with Nintendo games rarely getting significant discounts, crazy inflation in many countries in recent years, and whole continents with ludicrous game pricing. Circumventing copy protections has significantly slowed down in the last decade or so though, especially after Sony Computer Entertainment America, Inc. v. Hotz ("GeoHot", famous iPhone and PS3 hacker and somewhat of a "mad scientist" ^^) and the DMCA and its EU equivalent. Heck, they even went after Voksi (the only known Denuvo hacker at the time) in Bulgaria of all places. Many hacking brainiacs work for big corporations these days and only collect bug bounties for consoles and other DRM protected stuff, e.g. Andy "TheFlow0" Nguyen, who discovered countless PS4 and PS5 vulnerabilities, but only ever disclosed them after they've been patched.

[@leatherhidegaming]

At least a modchip was required back then cause the authentication method on the disc was never replicated.

[@dankandwatch]

I want the dumper for myself. I will keep my collection of games. I just want it for convenience. especially if they can figure out how to make it so the mig switch acts more like an R4 card so I can scroll through my games instead of randomly getting a game by repeatedly inserting and removing the cartridge because having a large library would make that more inconvenient than actually just putting the game in the switch

Actually the servers are still up the only thing they disabled was the auth servers for the wii u and 3ds so i think they have conjoined Infrastructure It was also pretty clear that they shut down the servers for security reasons. The steel diver servers were actually disabled before the shutdown for this reason.

[@IsaacG8]

Okay, so I have 1 modded switch and one unmodded. The modded one is used to play my legally owned games offline with cheats. Say what you will about cheat codes, but sometimes they make gameplay that was originally tedious or grindy, enjoyable. My unmodded switch is used to play games with my friends online. Because I have a modded switch and a 1tb micro sd, I know how easy it is to dump games. For this reason, I never purchase used Switch games, and I never lend my Switch games out. If there is any ambiguity to the origin of a Switch cart I'm going to play, I'll use my modded switch (which is always offline). Now that game dumping is even more accessible (before you needed a modded switch and only certain models were moddable), I imagine these issues with used games will only get worse.

[@ben_burnes]

I don't know the answer, so don't take this as correct but... If the Steam Deck is internet connected, it's likely that many games ping home with auth credentials so be wary. You might be able to set the Steam Deck emulation to not connect online and then it *shouldn't* be a problem?

[@kevinkev1530]

Good question

[@meow-is-edible]

You will be fine cause switch emulators can't connect to Nintendo server. Even on Hacked Switch, you most likely will be fine playing "borrowed" games or cheating on legit bought games on sysnand unless you connect to the Nintendo server, and there are several tools made exactly to prevent connecting on Nintendo server, which you will have setup by default if you follow the correct guide.

I'm so mad to this, let's hope at least people will no actually try this because the will need to buy used games and maybe they get a copy that was already used like this and they get banned, womp womp

That's true for any media here in the US. Legal unless you are breaking or bypassing means to prevent it, but I don't think this particular section of the DMCA was ever tested in the courts. Take a look at movies and TV shows. A lot of people now are setting up their own private use home media servers and dumping rips or their blu-ray and DVD collection to it giving them access to blu-ray quality content at the convenience of streaming. Heck, there are videos here on KZbin describing the process and the software to use to rip them.

[@packman28]

@@ZeldagigafanMatthew Fair point, there probably would’ve been lawsuits already if the media companies really cared about people ripping movies for themselves and not sharing them. I believe the closest thing to case law we have for that is Universal v. Corley (which is over 23 years old at this point), but that was (based on my limited understanding) more about whether the DeCSS ban was a violation of free speech rather than whether DeCSS was fair use.

[@ForsakenOne18]

What i understood about this Mig switch is that as long the console isn't connected to the internet, it should be fine , buy brand new games if you intend to play online , and buy used games if you intend to play offline , but even then the risk there would be if you are planning to get DLC for the offline games .

I'd imagine that is safe currently, but there's no guarantee it stays that way. Nintendo could update the Switch to track offline game usage and upload the certificates and their timestamps the next time you are online and then ban certificates with overlapping timestamps.

Game Stop is supposed to test games when being traded in. Not saying all will actually do that. Retailers, need to get on Nintendo to provide them with a way to safely check Switch games for resale. Personally don't see Nintendo rushing to do that anytime soon.

These people are why we cant ever have anything good in life. all they do all day is pick their nose and make used games at a good price dangerous to play.

[@TheNadazza]

This is a big reason why I’ve bought all the 3DS and Switch Pokemon games for my collection. I can with 100% certainty know they’re real since there are no fakes yet. Gameboy and DS has been more of a challenge

[@Yusei255]

Just use bit for single player games, ajd buy smoother switch that way you won't get banned if you don't connect it.

Petition to start a discord server to address the issues of people and let ourself suggest you videos for you to post

[@Boxersteavee]

Sick! My switch isn't hackable anymore since it needed a mainboard replacement.

[@charlieg6913]

I was hoping you would do a video on this. Sweet! Ty.

Im excited to dump my own games. The only problem is i have some games physical and some games digital. Ive been double dipping on a few of my favorite so i can have a physical cart to back up and a digital copy to play on my switch and soon to be switch 2 (i hope 🙏). And used games are pretty much off the table now so im gonna be spending mad cash to get 2nd copies of some of my games. I know its probably stupid but tbh its for peace of mind knowing the physical back ups and digital games are different and I have no chance of being banned. Granted im not doing this with every game. Just the ones i really like and ones with a lot of mods.

[@anthonyruth5606]

It happen to me i bought a used game from GameStop and got banned when I played online i contacted Nintendo and they never responded back

[@physturs]

Nintendo should see this as a business opportunity as people will be afraid of buying used games.

[@CaptianGhosty]

7:30 LETS GOOOOOO!!!!!

[@mercury5003]

Undertale is HUGE in japan, toby also seems to have a big prescence on japanese social media as well.

[@Luigi_Main3752]

Terrifying thought occurred. Do you guys think there will be people trying to figure out how to spoof security certificates on the switch games next?

[@xxlarrytfvwxx9531]

Why does yt do what they do when emulation is mentioned? The emulator software is legal, it's the getting roms off the web that is the illegal part.

[@nikkolaus91]

My Switch will never leave airplane mode. Cant wait to get mine.

[@billballmar6003]

This will affect both the person that copied the used game and they one buying used game. Why, because they also can be banned as well so it's not just the buyers of used game but the person whom cheated to get money for the game. So it's a double edge sword so if you backup and play and sell the "cart" game be careful what you wish for as you will also get banned as well. This is the part those talking about the "Dumper" don't tell people.

[@robbdudeson346]

Everything you were saying is EXACTLY why I STOPPED buying Nintendo Stuff 100%, because they don't care about their Gamers and are more worried about "what's some Ripper doing" ... Since SNES (and i Owned almost every SNES game (US versions) - I haven't bought a NES since SNES and GBA and GameCube really... the Wii (white box Wii) wasn't even on my level, seemed like a Kids toy more than a Gamer Oriented device - They could have done so much better, It was basically a GameCube but more Clunky... - I Like the GameCube tho. And since "Online Only" gaming I've been like "F'that" and now I'm glad I did because I LOVE my Retro... and the Online services are all shutting down one at a time ... Bye Bye Money for anyone who spent THOUSANDS on DLC and Online Games... If they're gonna sell ONLINE copies they should send a PHYSICAL copy to you directly if they plan on shutting down the servers... there are a LOT of Mad or Disapointed Gamers out there... I got me a SteamDeck and I Love It... Best Decision in Gaming I've made. - Nintendo needs to let go and support Gamers and focus on Gaining their Fan Base again ... right now it's just Little Kids - Even tho they did a Great Job on the Switch - It's not much more fancy than a Good Android Phone or a iPhone. Hardware isn't the way it used to be because in the Past, Hardware was Being Designed ON THE FLY, Unique and Completely Custom... now everyone uses the same Instruction Sets ARM, and MIPS and x86-64 is SO common and POWERFUL and mass produced that they just use whatever is lying around - so of course Emulation is "Super Easy-o Brothers" - Really, Gaming Companies like Nintendo are just afraid that they are Loosing Ground because when they were beginning, NOBODY was a "Hacker, Developer" and Technology was like the Dark Side of the Moon for most folks... But these days, Almost every 10 year old can write code... So, we're in a New Era and they really don't know what to do about that Honest Truth.

6:59 i love the hint at

[@NickMoses05]

Finally u have answered!!!! lol. Thanks for the video my dude. Big Salute!

[@kevinst-amour9294]

But in some way it create a parallel game services . ITS now technicly legal to play only with émulation . You bought the game Legally and you dumpted on your computer . So there a easy way to emulate the switch legally . Instead of download the rom illegally .

[@karlpowell9235]

One of the clearest reviews...

[@grahambarnes-rd7se]

[@holyvanguard]

Dude I used to that shit with gamefly with ps3 and 360

[@RonneB.Official]

Now i don't know if i wanna buy a switch with used switch games. I wouldn't wanna get banned just for buying an used copy of smash ultimate and how i wanted to play online.

[@Soddus.]

i wonder if people can put malware on used switch games?

[@NormansWorldMovies]

Why does your voice sound a little off at the start of the video?

[@Manito418]

Great video on the dumper!

[@user-qv5do7vz5l]

Bro imagine you a little kid and you get banned because your parents bought a used game copy SAD
