didn't know where to put this so decided to put it here, sorry if it's in wrong section. I was wondering, if a rom for a game is released a few weeks or days before the actual game comes out and allows online gaming can nintendo see that someone is using a game online before its out and also can they do something to stop this person? Either by banning their friend code or some other means?
I think the companies will think that the copies that they give our to reviewers and such are in use and not to the whole general public.
Hard to tell actually, they might be leaking these on purpose to get some statistics on how widespread it is via wifi. We should totally start a conspiracy movement. Seriously though, I'd probably wait until the day of the release to go online.
interesting thought. I've never actually been online on a downloaded rom before, only ever used the original version of the game I have to go online and just used the backed up one to game normally on.
download the rom, put it on a hommebrew device like the R4, and if the game has online gaming you just connect to nintendo's wifi service, pretty simple
try doing a google for R4DS, that usually comes up with loads of stuff about the R4 and where to buy one.
when i tried going online with metroid prime hunters the game always shut off after 2 minutes. i also had the original (downloaded the rom for backup purposes) and it worked fine online. i dont know if this is due to lag or if nintendo knew about the rom.
