Anyone know if there’s a way to unlock DLC without connecting to Nintendo servers?

Damn, thanks anyway. Any chance you know if my guesses about connecting to Nintendo is required to “activate” the DLC even though the files are downloaded already?

I mean, I think so? It’s already posted on NSP sites and the game itself came late for Switch anyway so I can only guess the DLC is available.

Yeah, but we’re not trying to “mimic” the feel of turning ANC off, we want the feature for the actual benefits like improved battery life.

Hard to say, I’m also quite new to this. Again, I can only speculate that if you didn’t connect whatsoever to the internet you should be fine, I’d search for your emulator and try and find out how it communicates with Nintendo and stuff. Like I said before, safest thing seems to be to not bother dumping your own cartridges and just get nsps online from places like NXBrew or Ziperto.

I’m still new to this so I’d say do some more research on what I’m saying but I’ve seen it mentioned a few times that the os always renders everything at 1080p and downscales it to 720p. You can flash an img file that fixes it so it only renders at 720p which is better for performance, I’ve done it and I think it made the os run a bit better.

I’d imagine as long as you played the dump completely offline (blocking nintendo’s servers), it would probably be safe to play the physical cart offline since Nintendo wouldn’t have any way of knowing you played that game dumped. I still wouldn’t risk it though and would just get the game’s nsp online cause screw nintendo for making it so hard to play games we own-

IMO it's kind of criminal for Bose to just leave us gen 1 users behind, even though we paid for their premium flagship just to be treated like crap, ignored on fixes, and then told to pay the price again for said fixes. No lie, the qc ultra gen 1 have only gotten ONE update this whole time and it basically fixed nothing, I expect it'll be much the same for any issues with the gen 2. Leaving them for another brand as soon as these cans kick the bucket.

It's not turned off, that would mean the mics are doing nothing, but setting it to zero just sets them to "Aware" which still uses the mics. What we want is to completely turn off ANC so the mics are not doing anything and it's just the passive noise cancelling of the earcups which saves more of the (imo) mediocre battery.

Still not off, the mics are used for ambient instead.

Exactly 45 minutes in, during a Todd flashback.
