Pretendo should stop requiring CONSOLE KEYS as the Wii U is an OLD unit and dead . Hope Pretendo realizes that 1300 players gone means that 1300 players who played with real console players are gone meaning most of them will leave due to the empty servers.
So concerning Pretendo: Anybody can use its source code to set up their own relay server, right? I can't rule out the possibility of the main Pretendo relay operator abusing their banning power for personal motives if they have opened the door to banning people at all.
I was console banned from Pretendo because a moderator didn't like my politics. I have two other consoles I can use, but the fact they ban anybody at all when the service is essentially 18+ (given that, generally speaking, minors shouldn't be modding their systems) is ridiculous.
Pretendo is dead to me then I'm not going to buy a discontinued console just to get some files that allow me to play online on an UNOFFICIAL network, and you still have the chance of being banned because the console could've been resold several times and other buyers may have done the same thing by extracting the file.
Edit 7/27/24: The following comment was written without knowing the context that the BIOS belonged to a cheater and that the decision to ban that particular IP was a last resort. I had originally incorrectly assumed that the ban had occurred as a means to counteract people who attained BIOS files through alternative means. Knowing the full context, I respect Pretendo’s decision as it ensures its users can have an authentic online experience without having to deal with bull like cheaters. As opposed to deleting the original comment, I figured I should add this disclaimer for added visibility and to better counteract against the ill-will I have spread. Original comment for context of the replies: That Pretendo ban is not very good. There’s a limited quantity of Wii Us and 3DSes, they’re only going to deteriorate over time, and not all of those BIOS files will be recoverable. I’m not sure what they’re planning for the long term if they expect each user to blow hundreds of dollars on discontinued hardware to be able to experience a game’s online as intended.

So, if I buy a used Wii U or 3DS and the files of tjose consoles are shared then they can ban me? Is there a way to proof that I'm the owner of the physical console so they don't ban me? 🤔
The unique console ID of the Wii-U and 3DS is a sixteen digit alphanumeric sequence. The odds of someone making a generator and hitting your number is quite low. So if you made your own dump of your keys, there should be no problem.
@@StriderVMThis person is not talking about a spoofed consolekey, they are talking about someone having dumped the console files for emulator previously, then resold the system.
@@lpfan4491 If that is the case, then sucks for them. Proof of ownership is useless the same way a person gets their console banned then resolds them on ebay. No matter who owns the console the only thing matters is if the specific console ID number is banned, it's banned.
4:41 of course it’s a smart choice, but will the higher ups actually respect the wishes of the staff and union? Unless the union is willing to flex its power, the higher ups simply don’t even care to listen.
I have a OnePlus, it's the first one I bought, I didn't know about that loophole, the next phone I plan on getting is the Sony Xperia, hopefully not for some time, I'm still pretty happy with my OnePlus 11
i hope that gameboy game dragonhymn has a digital version.a lot of these carts are made in a way that can damage your gameboy. I usually use an epilogue cart dumper if i'm forced to buy physical
There goes any hope of Xenoblade X in the future. It's going to also effect the resale of consoles. Who's gonna buy em if they're hoping to play online if someone already dumped their keys?
the pretendo thing is understandable, if only because there's not really anything else they can do about cheaters and hackers. just wish 3DS hardware wasn't hideously expensive, i'm glad i have a couple 3DS..es laying around if i ever wanna give this a go.
Needing actual console files takes the convenience out of playing video games. Everyone being upset about the ban is justified. The ban also justified. 😂 Most are probably jobless teens and teens who don't have the means to dump their own files if they actually own a 3ds wiiu etc 😅
Like anything else, there are those who will take advantage of a situation. Personally, if I had to pay more to support a unionized workforce, the actual people doing the work and not some MBA is a suit that hates games and doesn't understand them, I'll pay the extra five bucks to keep those invested and knowledgeable in the product/service employed.
As for Pretendo, literally every emulator that emulates a system requiring unique keys of that system, like the 3DS and Wii U, say to get the key files from your own hardware. If Pretendo wants to ban consoles for abusing the rules, why not? They are now in charge of an on-line gaming community and if someone is abusing that, then their console should be banned. Splatoon cheating got quite bad toward the end. Being cheated on is not the experience I want to relive. Also, Pretendo is free. They are not losing money when banning someone. Be thankful for what they have done and will continue to do.
I don't feel sorry for those 1300 users getting banned. The Pretendo team very clearly communicates not to share console keys. Those who still don't listen need to learn.

They don't want to be sued by Nintendo. Not that being strict about console keys will protect them from that, but it would if Nintendo weren't insane.
Nintendo is clinically insane. I get your point but also they really should not at this point in time be requiring the keys@@TheUAoB
