Close out of the game

[languid musk]

And after that?

[nimble wing]

Go to the Rosalina menu (L+Dpad down+select)
Then enable Plugin loader from there

[nimble wing]

Alright
Press B, then launch the game again

[languid musk]

not allowed

Does it have anything to do with the plugin version or anything?

[nimble wing]

Wdym by "Not allowed"?

[languid musk]

Did not work

[languid musk]

By the way, the version of the plugin is v1.0.0

Ooh fun

Is Lucky 7 possible in 2 player mode?

[tribal linden]

In Mario Kart 7, the Lucky 7 item is available in multiplayer, but it depends on the context of the race. Here's how it works in 2-player mode:

Lucky 7 Overview: The Lucky 7 is an item that gives you seven items (a Green Shell, Red Shell, Banana, Bob-omb, Star, Blooper, and Mushroom) that circle around your kart. It's typically awarded to players in lower positions as a "catch-up" mechanic.

2-Player Mode Specifics:

In 2-player races, the chances of getting Lucky 7 are reduced because there are fewer players.
The item distribution heavily depends on your position relative to the other player and the items they have. If you're far behind, your chances of getting the Lucky 7 improve.
So yes, Lucky 7 is possible in 2-player mode, but it's rarer due to the limited number of players in the race.

[astral cairn]

Yes it is. The only thing that can't get pulled is Lightning.

100k messages here lmao

[jolly jetty]

Ok so I played a match with this person and they dced immediately so I have no evidence. Should I send the log?

[bold barn]

not a bad idea just so we can verify the cheater

we can grab the PID from their PNID

[bold barn]

oh hold up

these PIDs don't match!

[lament sonnet]

Uhm

[quasi sedge]

Oh no

[tender imp]

ALL HERE ARE HACKING

[lament sonnet]

@bold barn ?

[tender imp]

Everyone HERE is hacking, They make strange movements from side to side to prevent us from crossing and they always make you last, since they shoot bullets, stars or when they fall they reappear immediately, I have been playing for 30 minutes even in other rooms and there is always someone the same, although I have not been able to record these, can someone help me?

[bold barn]

turns out, I made an oopsie.

I was comparing the wrong PID

this matches

relayed

[bold barn]

if you suspect there are cheaters, report them in the CTGP-7 Discord

though you're probably joking

[tender imp]

I just left the game, but I found them like an hour ago too

But Thanks

Im going to report them in the server

[reef sandal]

https://juxt.pretendo.network/posts/CsllUqDVDYjoXPY1od7nL

[languid musk]

Ok but like if everyone in the lobby is cheating, is anyone actually getting harmed?

[thick geyser]

The player who is reporting is getting harmed lol
Anyways bans are made based on cheats used, not "damages"

[languid musk]

1.) They can just find another lobby.
2.) I get that but I'm saying that the report was unnecessary.

[nimble wing]

This isn't even relevant anyways
That was CTGP-7, not Pretendo

[thick geyser]

Well, if everyone is cheating, then everyone should be banned, while searching from another room
And the report is 100% necessary as servers like this one and ctgp7 punish any kind of cheating

[languid musk]

I don't really feel like explaining further (because it will be in vain most likely) so I'll let you "have a win" here.

So looking at the video it looks like they weren't filling the lobby which means others certainly could have joined and they either didn't care or didn't think about that; So maybe an warning is justified, but not a ban.

Anyways discussion over.

[mystic lion]

« when they fall they reappear immediately » it’s called lag sir. since you’re EUR, some people can be laggy for you (USA, JAP) people. It's always been like that in the game but it's not a cheat. It's the lag in general.

[bold barn]

this report is invalid for a number of reasons, the biggest one being that this is CTGP-7, and we don't accept CTGP-7 reports (generally speaking)

also, no worries if you didn't know this, but in the future let's try to say "JPN", as "||JAP||" may come as offensive.

[astral cairn]

People don't cheat on CTGP-7, you just have a skill issue. Leave it to a 1K to accuse other high VR people for doing tech you don't know.

Leave it to unskilled players to call skilled players cheaters in any game.

[quick terrace]

As soon as someone beats me they must be hacking no one can possibly be more skilled than me in a video game.

[astral cairn]

It really do be like that in any game. Everyone is always cheating when they beat me, they must be reported.

[bold barn]

alright, let's move on

[astral cairn]

Yeah. I'm just tired of false reports because of a skill issue.

[languid musk]

There were two incidents of verbal abuse in the friend request, which was a violation of the terms of the agreement, right?

[astral cairn]

I'm assuming for Splatoon right?

[languid musk]

Yep

[astral cairn]

That's definitely banable. Post those here.

[languid musk]

I'll translate.

[astral cairn]

Oh they're being mean towards you definitely.

[languid musk]

Left.
Please don't play Splatoon because you are a weak guy who is in s plus rank but only has 20 kills

[hallow hinge]

Let me help you @languid musk

[languid musk]

Right.

[hallow hinge]

Here u go

[weary vault]

Yup

Why tough

I did it I made 100k

[languid musk]

I think this thread got multiple times 100k now.

[languid musk]

I found this same person, is it possible to ban him with the information from PNIDLT?

[languid musk]

don't use chatgpt. please

[tribal linden]

I mean he could just ask chatgpt so I did

Its valid

[languid musk]

ok, but you could at least just rewrite it, not copy and paste

[bold barn]

alright, let's move on

this post is for reporting cheaters, not arguing about the use of AI.

[bleak solstice]

Every day I regret sharing the one invincible cheat I made for splatoon when I was 13. It's in every public codelist ever

pain~2

[manic dune]

didn't you make a bypass for that shitty version? why not release that

[bleak solstice]

It is imperfect + could be easily modified for abuse

That's why I haven't

I'd need multiple people to large scale test it to make sure it doesn't void anyone out that should NOT get voided

[manic dune]

or make it auto kick people that use it

[bleak solstice]

Harder to kick people in this game than I'd like. Not something in my skillset + I'm done modding Wii U for now, enviornment's too infuriating

i just got tired of it

[manic dune]

it's not hard tbh

[languid musk]

he was in this server

not sure if he here anymore

i guessed he lived in germany and he blocked me lol

[bold barn]

yep, they've been banned

[pliant coral]

[bold barn]

for others' safety I'll delete this, but will forward internally

sorry if i sound picky but wdym by safety

i can understand cuz of the slurs

by "safety" I mean "in case others are offended by slurs etc"

ah

ok

[bold barn]

anyway, issue's been dealt with!

If you successfully downloaded everything, (enable) 'debugger options' from the Rosalina menu on your 3ds. You'll see a number on the top right of the screen. Plug in that number on the NTR-HR viewer program, but you must have the NTR-HR CIA file installed beforehand for it to work.

[manic dune]

think it'll be fine, just update now. the game session entry hasn't been changed for months (apart from the text that it displays, i merely mean its functionality to verify the legitimacy of the pid)

still need their pid and video evidence of it happening. get the pid grabber from the pins of this thread and see if you can join them again through the opponents list

whats a pid

we we're in the same server as eachother

funny coincidence

[obsidian lodge]

wanna be friends?

[tribal linden]

btw Im the only Guy from austria using prerendo in mk7 I never saw one other guy

Yeah sure

[manic dune]

no, pid = principal id. used as a login token and for basic distinguishing when it comes to keeping track of opponents (in mario kart 7) or other types of player databases.

[bold barn]

Wii U games also use PIDs, in addition to PNIDs. which can be reported as an alternative to PNIDs if for example Friend List does not retrieve the list of recently played users. (i.e. MK8, via the https://mario-kart-8.pretendo.network; Splatoon, via SDL Grabber or Splatheap(?))

PIDs always start with 1XXXXXXXXX, and have 10 digits, in decimal format. PIDs can also be written in HEX format. PNIDs, however, contain letters, numbers, and certain symbols (i.e. underscores).

I hope this clears up everyone's confusion. either the PID or PNID can be reported, as a PID can still be obtained from a PNID.

[bleak solstice]

tldr; Principal ID (PID) != Pretendo Network ID (PNID)

[ornate nexus]

It's so funny seeing hackers getting banned on pretendo network

anyways has yuto_MK-II been banned?

[manic dune]

it still doesn't mean PID = PNID. even if u guys seem to use both that way imo.

[misty sandal]

a PID is linked to a PNID but they are two different things

the FC is a PID if you convert it

[bold barn]

exactly

[rugged forum]

this from a few hours ago. I also noticed the other yoshi player was unusually fast. I just need a second opinion from someone since they spam used a red. I originally ruled out as a DC since they ended with 1000VR, but noticed they were rubberbanding???

[bold barn]

yeah, that's definately not lag

that's way too fast to be lag

especially with how far ahead that player was

way too many red flags

like how that player finished in like 90 seconds, while everyone else was still on the 2nd lap

oh

I thought you were referring to Koopa still lol

[rugged forum]

I originally thought the yoshi was just trying to catch up to the hacking koopa by rubberbanding, it's just that the CPU movement (if it was one) was too unusual

[bold barn]

as for the Yoshi player I think that was probably just lag

[rugged forum]

I'll probably let it slide this time. too close to call

Can someone else review this? Is this just normal meta Mario or what?

[rugged forum]

Apparently it's this person. The same one that trolled in the other video. They must've switched cartridges. The footage looks consistent with the meta combos speed

how you did the other theme for mk7

[languid musk]

You can look on GameBanana for them Look up Mario Kart 7 on there and go under the category HUD. i don't know if this one is on GB but theres more huds on GB

[tribal linden]

alr which one would you prefer?

[languid musk]

i don't know. but theres some i like there

[molten terrace]

Ran across this guy this morning. Was using low level gear with 3 maxed out slots, as well as high level weapons while equipping the starting gun. Was killing people instantly. Couldn't get his pnid from recent players list. Infuriating.

[ionic kayak]

Do you have video evidence

I think I seen this player before tho

[jolly jetty]

Did you find them in turf or ranked?

[molten terrace]

Turf mode

[bold barn]

based off these screenshots there is nothing suspicious

the weird level and rank stuff is permitted

gear with these stats is permitted

now if the Splattershot Jr. was splatting players with a single shot then that's suspicious. but there's no evidence of that, plus we don't even have their PID or PNID, therefore this is an invalid report.

[molten terrace]

Couldn't provide the pnid because the recent players list only showed people I played with yesterday. it didnt give me any names of people from today at all. Odd how items with a 1 star rating that arent supposed to have 3 ability slots is permitted.

[bold barn]

because anyone can upgrade their gear

[ionic kayak]

Or edit it

[bold barn]

https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Spyke#Adding_slots_and_rerolling

it's something literally anyone can do

Super Sea Snails

or Cash in the first game

[molten terrace]

👍

[languid musk]

"Main will be the last one standing"

[solar notch]

He has the ability to instantly defeat enemies, and although his gear is 1 star, he has 3 slots filled, although he has been given an explanation, but he just added more slots. (This has existed in games for a long time...) Please stop putting my family, STR, at risk for such a stupid reason.

( ･᷄ὢ･᷅ )

[flat crystal]

Gear ability slots can be increased

[misty sandal]

wdym

if they cheat we ban them

it's their fault not us

[solar notch]

No, he doesn't use it.

[misty sandal]

but if it's cosmetic we dont ban

if it doesnt affect gameplay we will not ban them, we go just at hacked weapons

even cosmetic hidden gear is safe

[solar notch]

He hasn't modified his weapons either...his play skills are simply high.

[misty sandal]

anyway there is no evidence so they are not getting banned

we ban just if someone actually sends evidence of someone cheating in a game

octoling, hacked levels, coins, and other cosmetic stuff are permitted

[solar notch]

Good...thank you...

🥹‪

It's really sad that one's own family members are in danger because of the misunderstanding of the person who sent the photo.

[ionic kayak]

What

[misty sandal]

we ban only if there is clear evidence of cheating

the photos dont prove anything

[cunning geode]

Only inappropriate nicknames (for example)

[languid musk]

The hacker os the one on the top

[nimble wing]

Can't do anything without their PNID

[languid musk]

I'm searching it

[bold barn]

yeah, we also need video proof, this doesn't really show anything

[round obsidian]

lol i joined this server just so i could report this guy

i was playing a few matches earlier to test a cosmetic mod i made and they were using bomb rapidfires and auto-paint stuff

i have proof btw ill send it in a bit

[hexed hare]

You were in the same game as I were, or at least the same cheater

Person on the bottom for the gamepad screenshot

[smoky bobcat]

From the image alone, it is not clear which of the three is the hacker.

"ゆうき"?

[hexed hare]

yeah

the bottom one

on the gamepad is the hacker

[round obsidian]

is it possible to check a person's pnid if you played with them while using cemu?

[hexed hare]

is there a way to do that for the wii u too?

[round obsidian]

yeah you can check a person's pnid on the wii u

idk how to describe it though so id have to hook up my wii u and show how to do it

gimme a moment

[languid musk]

Open the friends list and view the Recently Played list

[hexed hare]

alr ill check it out

[hexed hare]

I hope you saw xy's answer

[languid musk]

That doesn't work on cemu apparently

[hexed hare]

it's entirely blank for some reason

"You have not played with any other users over the internet."

[languid musk]

Does cemu have a PID grabber like Wii U does?

[nimble wing]

For Splatoon

For MK8 just use the website

[languid musk]

Yeah, for Splatoon.

[jolly jetty]

Are they still online? No one has gotten video evidence, so I am going to try to get that

[round obsidian]

yeah i still have video evidence

gimme a moment

its on my computer still

[bold path]

Is it normal for my mk7 to lag a whole lot? Making my item roulette sound to do a weird thing?

It kinda repeats

[round obsidian]

my hacker footage as promised

i cant seem to find them on my recently played with list (probably since i played on an emulator)

heres also a photo of their in-game profile although i doubt that helps

ill play on my wii u for a bit and if i come across them again then ill check for their pnid

[bold path]

Welp I found a mk7 hacker

[misty sandal]

2124-4508 = banned

[bold path]

Frou might be speed hacking

Seems to be

Maybe invincibility too

Nevermind

[strange junco]

🤦‍♀️

[bold path]

Guess not

[strange junco]

why are you accusing me of hacking, it's just the combo

[wicked blade]

I also found someone using the same cheat.
The image on the right is the PNID.

Sorry, here is the video.

[brazen solar]

I'm definitely a cheater. However, I have never used any cheats that affected the game. I've been playing Splatoon for many years, but I can't play S+. I have that much ability. I understand that people are suspicious because my name is suspicious, but I am innocent.

I'm using a translator, so please forgive me if my English is a little weird.

[bold path]

I thought you were going Abnormally fast, I was wrong, that is my bad

[strange junco]

All good bro

[astral cairn]

Definitely not cheating, but I get how that looks like it.

[rugged forum]

Lol they're back, trolling again

[smoky star]

tanuki45

[bold path]

Constantly?

More like constantly trolling

Searching for them

[rugged forum]

https://youtu.be/xRfxE41667s?si=QFEXA1iXS3ZtNVT3

TC: cycling items for a star (failed)
Mario Circuit: failed attempt
Daisy hills: trolling attempt at someone else at the end
Music Park: trolling confirmed for 2 laps

[bold path]

Was this just now?

[rugged forum]

Correction, a few days ago. Mb

[bold path]

Ah

[rugged forum]

Happened the same day I made the many reports, just needed enough evidence to edit the video which was kinda delayed bc irl stuff

[dull nimbus]

it dosen't even seem like they are..

[bold path]

I know now, my bad.

[rugged forum]

it's normal speed it looks like, since offroad is really bad for slick tires on this course

[strange junco]

yep lol, kalimari desert as well

[manic dune]

Just add a speedometer to avoid this in the future

[bold path]

There's like a cheat for that right?

Ah

There was a hacker earlier I can maybe get evidence for.

[bold path]

Name?

(Mii name)

[astral cairn]

Got it: https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxxYAhVysxPcWaKv1nZODBIZuqtC_oldGm?si=TI-tPnl-lUOem4Pw & https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxiQbZZlhVYgNf6bmwV4jZ0NNz_-r2e5v7?si=OFz6bOj8QU888AHF

I had to go find it. They left right after that race.

[smoky star]

1599-3769-5261

[astral cairn]

Items never showed up in the item slot and used a star to hit people and spammed me with blues at the end.

[astral cairn]

I would have recorded it myself but luckily I was in a friend's stream.

[smoky star]

tanuki45

[onyx matrix]

people still be cheating in mk7? good lord

[bold barn]

that user has already been reported, thanks for the extra evidence though!

[bold barn]

also relayed, if you can try to match with them again to confirm that they're not spoofing their PID that would be appreciated!

[astral cairn]

Sure thing. I know their name, combo, and country so I'll watch them.

[compact lagoon]

LOL i remember constantly was a weak troll in 2021

[languid musk]

immediate effect restoration

wF0_Ot

Don't mistake O for 0.

[smoky star]

hard to tell what's being done

[languid musk]

the roller apparently

whatever these are called

[languid musk]

Very fast revival time.

The name of the opponent stays where the opponent died until he/she is revived, but as soon as the opponent is revived, the name disappears, so it is strange that the name disappears instantly after being killed

[solar notch]

I thought it was me...🥹, my ID is wF0_0t, not 0_O! Please ban it.

[misty sandal]

That's Pikachu in Japanese

[little cape]

Is this cheat?

[languid musk]

yes

[bright trench]

its instant respawn you can see him getting killed and immediately getting back on the respawn place

[bold barn]

this one has been relayed, thank you for your report!

[bold barn]

wow. that's crazy.
do not worry, you will not be getting banned. wF0_0t is safe!

wF0_Ot will receive the ban

[astral cairn]

Look at this shit!

https://www.youtube.com/live/lTs_HBLH4pw

Impersonation and hacking. A friend just showed me this.

[misty sandal]

Time is 2024-12-31 21:59 JST

so they played on around 2024-12-31 12:59 UTC or 07:59 EST

or 04:59 PST

The video lasts over 2 hours, meaning this person celebrated 2025 while playing Mario Kart 7

[normal iron]

they were on 2 hours ago when i posted this, I'm even in the stream #mario-kart-7 message

[misty sandal]

They started the session in 2024 and stopped playing in 2025

xD

Doesnt matter the whole video is all in 2024 for us

The video ends on 2025-01-01 00:23 JST

[misty sandal]

Thank you

[astral cairn]

Thanks man.

[misty sandal]

They enabled moon jump at the start

[astral cairn]

I was still asleep when this happened.

Them having the audacity to impersonate me.

[misty sandal]

and also during between 2024 and 2025 in Japan time

[astral cairn]

That as well.

[misty sandal]

Imagine celebrating the new year like that

[astral cairn]

Getting banned on New Years. 😂

[misty sandal]

2025-0102

[astral cairn]

Idiocy is bilingual at it's finest.

At least this one wasn't being racist like the other ones before...

[glass wave]

There is a guy named Eskario that just one shots and is using aimbot

He just one tapped me wotha ranged squelcher

do games even use pnids at all

even then. its locked to private battles.

the cherry squelcher usually one shots in like 2 hits with damage up

[bold path]

💀

[dull nimbus]

archive the video before it gets taken down

SolSipStatic

[bold path]

Oh my god it shows him turning the codes on too

[misty sandal]

@astral cairn they are cheating

They used Moon Jump

https://youtu.be/lTs_HBLH4pw?t=22m43s

22:43

[bold path]

Was looking for that

[misty sandal]

Time of the offense: 22:21 or 22:22 JST

[jolly jetty]

Bro just exposed themself 💀

[misty sandal]

on 2024-12-31

[astral cairn]

I'll download it then.

[astral cairn]

It was used twice from what I saw.

I don't use hacks anyway since I'm good enough to win. Them being an idiot by completely exposing themselves is definitely funny though.

[misty sandal]

LMAO

they even used your clip

and put it in the game

https://youtu.be/lTs_HBLH4pw?t=36m50s

[astral cairn]

Wow, they really put my voice in there. What a freak.

[misty sandal]

https://youtu.be/lTs_HBLH4pw?t=47m11s moon jump after winning the race

anyway, it's a bannable cheat

[tough umbra]

just got a cheater in splatoon, i'll post screenshots in a second

[plucky cairn]

Sorry if this footage isn't that high quality, I don't have a capture card

[tough umbra]

yeah that person

[plucky cairn]

But you can clearly see their name, Pretendo ID and their exploits in action so. I think it's good enough

[uncut stirrup]

Oh good i wanted to report him too

[tough umbra]

ss proof

covered the map in ink, and bomb spammed like hell

[plucky cairn]

Whenever I get an exploiter I just put down the controller and only move to avoid timing out so it's less interesting for them

[tough umbra]

for some reason my "Users Played With" tab is empty even after a restart but that is the person

[ionic kayak]

Got them in my lobby right now

[tough umbra]

oh goodness

have fun trying to leave your spawn (you cant)

[ionic kayak]

I couldn’t

Oh

They disconnected

GG

[dull nimbus]

it might actually be a AI voice right?

because that's fucking creepy.

oh my fucking god it is 💀

[oak kraken]

why are people still using rapid fire 💀

[astral cairn]

Of course.

[quick terrace]

It's fan behavior

[astral cairn]

It may be possible, I don't really know.

But that definitely is creepy...

[bold barn]

no worries, this cheater's info has already been sent to the devs. thanks for the extra evidence however!

[astral cairn]

Being a fan of someone is fine, but this is heading towards the stalking part of it.

[smoky star]

tanuki45

[bold barn]

yep yep, I reported that as well as their PID

[quick terrace]

Yeah of course, it's actually pretty insane

[edgy scroll]

damn this is weird af with the usage of silvers voice like that

[astral cairn]

I'm not sure if I can report that.

[strange junco]

oh what the hell

so i wasn't playing with you , just an imposter

[misty sandal]

They were using cheats

while not affecting anything it's still enough for a ban

[astral cairn]

It's obvious not me lol.

I'm not from Japan nor do I change my flags for no reason.

[strange junco]

well I don't know you , just noticed your name

[astral cairn]

I also use a variety of different combos, so not always the meta.

So really, nobody can go and "copy" me if they don't play like me.

[strange junco]

I see

Noted

[astral cairn]

Also, I mainly grind on my VR1 with 99K for losses if I lose looking for people breaking the rules.

[misty sandal]

How many VRs do you have

[astral cairn]

3 at the moment. VR1 at 99K, VR2 at 37K, and VR3 at 36K.

[misty sandal]

Will you grind them to 99K?

[astral cairn]

Yeah, eventually.

[misty sandal]

imagine a cheater count from 36k VR to 99k VR

[astral cairn]

That's what I was doing before the shutdown anyway.

I don't need cheats to win like I said before, grinding just takes time, especially when you work full-time.

Using my max VR to make myself a target was definitely a pro gamer move on my part.

They all take the bait easily.

[misty sandal]

Yea like I said

During the grind on Pretendo

I wonder how many cheaters you will report before 99k

[astral cairn]

I'm sure a bunch more.

[misty sandal]

"let's get their PID"

[quick terrace]

So done with these speedhackers they're multiplying

[misty sandal]

"let's make a report"

[astral cairn]

That's why I was holding off on the grinding for months now because I knew I would get targeted.

[languid musk]

let's get their ip

[misty sandal]

They will be banned eventually

we ban a lot of cheaters

[jolly jetty]

Speaking of which, are we going to get statistics for the amount of cheaters banned?

[misty sandal]

probably

[quick terrace]

Yeah fair should download the thingy so I can record them

[potent vine]

let's get their home address

[tribal linden]

Imagine not having all 3 stars in mk7 (got legit)

[misty sandal]

3 stars on mk7 legit but just 4k VR

[tribal linden]

Just with skill 🤌

[astral cairn]

Main has a plugin that actually gets your full IP.

Of course he won't release that.

[tribal linden]

I have 2K VR cause I never played online until a few days ago

Just play all maps all stars and you 'll get it

[misty sandal]

I got to 3.5k on Nintendo Network

[normal iron]

im nearing 30k vr but still don't have those stars because i hate racing against bots😌

[astral cairn]

Skill issue.

[tribal linden]

xD

[quick terrace]

What about the golden wheel?

[tribal linden]

huh

Dont know if i got them

[quick terrace]

Steering wheel

[tribal linden]

You mean golden cart?

Possible

[nimble wing]

If you have thousands of races then gold wheel is probably too far out of reach

[potent vine]

they mean the golden wheel on first person

[tribal linden]

yes i got steerng wheel

golden

[tribal linden]

dont know what you mean

I mean I have real one for choose idk xD

Is there anyone from Austria here? Never saw someone on mk7 global playing from Austria

really depressing

[quick terrace]

If u use gyro controls for 80 races you'll unlock first person gold wheel also for your profile might go for it on a different license.

[astral cairn]

It's first person for 100 races or battles with gyro.

[tribal linden]

gyro is meat

[cursive tangle]

happy new year if you're in a Cool timezone! turns out we entirely forgot to post these before, so somewhat late:

Between Nov 1st and Nov 30th (ish, timezones)

ACCOUNT BANS: 86 (49 from community reports)
CONSOLE BANS: 3

we banned quite a few accounts for non-cheating things like offensive PNIDs, that's causing the discrepancy there.

Dec stats are coming in a few hours!

[quick terrace]

Thought it was 80 was it not?

[nimble wing]

For some reason I thought it was >50%
Maybe I'm confusing with another Mario Kart

[cursive tangle]

here's october for comparison

[tribal linden]

AAA i know what you mean where is that displayed then?

[astral cairn]

100 races with gyro at least 80% of the time.

[tribal linden]

100 races and of them 80% must be in first Perspektive

[tribal linden]

and then you get what xD?

[astral cairn]

The gold steering wheel.

Literally talking about it above.

[quick terrace]

I was in this lobby lmao

[jolly jetty]

Wow that is a lot of people who broke No Hack November

[misty sandal]

are they still playing?

[normal iron]

i logged off immediately after getting their pid so idk

[misty sandal]

they shouldnt be playing anymore

so gg hacker :))

[normal iron]

first ban of 2025 (for me at least)

wetty new yer guys

[manic dune]

#offtopic

[dull nimbus]

this is why i don't do a voice reveal. main reason.

because of people being like this and using your voice for AI generation and malicious stuff like this.

considering how its also recent makes it a huge red flag

[astral cairn]

I only started doing it in 2020 lol.

[bold barn]

for sure.

always keep code words that can be shared only with your family; for more info #offtopic

[potent raven]

Not a bannable offense sadly

[bold barn]

????

using cheats in public matches will get you banned.

[potent raven]

Nah

[bold barn]

impersonating others counts as trolling which can also result in bans

so...

[potent raven]

Nah

[dull nimbus]

we've enforced bans on this before

[astral cairn]

True, but they did hack and that's banable.

[astral cairn]

Found a hacker, getting the clip.

https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxStt3d4jFPlJzpDaNF_LzR2vxreQLOhxb?si=acC67tHSTX8tsdrU

I was leading the whole race then they teleport to first.

If I have to, I'll clip the whole race with me being in first.

are u one of them

Yeah sure here’s my PID so you can ban me: 1571954590

[cursive tangle]

y'allo! here are the December stats
from Dec 1st to Dec 31st (UTC), we had:

56 account bans
4 console bans

these were mostly from your reports, so thank you for helping keep pretendo playable!

[stuck obsidian]

so joyous

[ionic kayak]

56 account bans 🥳

Can we make it to 69 this month

[stuck obsidian]

😭

[edgy scroll]

so many people got owned

I am proud to be one of many reporters

[nimble wing]

Did I even report anyone that whole month?

[misty sandal]

They are, in fact, banned

[potent raven]

:(

[misty sandal]

If they use Moon Jump online what'd do you expect

[pliant coral]

Will I be banned if I use a 50cc hack on MK7? Because I consider myself to be the best MK7 player so I think it's fair for me to be fairly slower than other racers so they get a chance at winning.

[languid musk]

i don't think that's a great idea

[pliant coral]

It is but it's still considered using cheats even if it's not intended to win (in fact it's kinda the opposite)

[misty sandal]

better not doing that anyway, speed hacks are bannable

[astral cairn]

I wouldn't test that theory and get banned for it.

[stuck basalt]

let them cook

[ionic kayak]

Saw the post they made of them getting banned

[misty sandal]

Can you dm that post lol

I bet i'd still win ngl

The same hacker I played with yesterday

[bleak solstice]

Found a remnant of ShowFloor in Splatoon that... is just force start

[astral cairn]

I had to get it after the race ended, but that still should be correct.

[misty sandal]

Nice

Yea if you can confirm it's the same we are good

[languid musk]

So maybe the decline of WiiUs that aren't banned isn't as fast as I thought.

[astral cairn]

I went and checked, that was them.

[quasi sedge]

Double it and give it to the next person

Jk that’s a ton of acc bans 🔥

Game: MH4U
Cheater username: Puffy
Cheating method: Save editing
Notes:
HR6 with a cheated/edited talisman, giving them way too many active armour skills at the same time. Not possible through normal gameplay.
That armour set (Zinogre U) should only give the following armour skills (assuming no Jwls/Decors are used):

• Evasion +1
• Focus
• Peak Performance
• DragonAtk+1
• Recovery Down
  This means the cheated/edited Talisman is giving them:
• Critical God
• Honed Blade
• Steady Hand
  None of these are possible to get on this set at all, and it's equally as impossible to get all three at the same time via normal gameplay.
  Top and bottom screens included in screenshots:

[languid musk]

Just ask him to play normally or kick him ?? Lol

[misty sandal]

There is no blacklist implemented

[languid musk]

We are in 2015 come on

[rocky wasp]

Oh should also mention: Their CB (Charge Blade) is upgraded to G rank tier, while they are not in G rank themselves. Also impossible.

[misty sandal]

Console bans are for repeat offenders

yep console ban means the console cant play online anymore

they ban unique files that only Nintendo can generate

np

[languid musk]

This is probably the result of custom quests from back then ?

[rocky wasp]

Very likely.

[sturdy thicket]

DAWG IT'S BEEN 1 DAY SINCE THE GAME GOT PUBLIC ON PRETENDO AND PEOPLE ARE ALREADY HACKING 😭

[reef sandal]

just putting this here for future reference, hacked time trials are back lmao

[languid musk]

I'd like to report myself

[reef sandal]

Rambo will implement MK8 manual bans for time trials tomorrow, forwarding this here

[jolly jetty]

Then should I gather all of the hacked times? (Unless mods already relayed them?)

[reef sandal]

its good to do so

more the merrier

[pulsar ibex]

new report.
seems like he using 1 shot kill and unexpected weapon combination.

i got only 1 shot to kill with .52 gallon(with bucket throther icon)

suspect is ?NF?Katsu?

[reef sandal]

go to and look at recently played with for the pnid

[pulsar ibex]

sorry, i cant send video evidance due to i didnt connect hdmi capture at this time, and recently played with is not working at this time

so, i cant collect pnid at this time

i got 101-0722 everytime when i try to see recently played with.

[sand cedar]

101-0722 (Wii U)

Support code detected, press to expand information

Why does this remind me of someone

[reef sandal]

@cursive ore?

[bright trench]

@cursive ore

[ionic kayak]

Oh

[cursive ore]

hi?

i wasnt even playing this game i did a few kills and afk after

i'm not using cheats i can send my whole sd card structure

but for the splatbomb icon it's allowed

[pulsar ibex]

not only that.

[cursive ore]

i'm not using any cheats at all

i'm not doing 1 tap kill i just know how to play the game that's it

i'm using 52gall

with force up

[pulsar ibex]

when you killed me, showing with incorrect wepon icon and only single hit .

[bright trench]

one tap kill but yall were in the same team?

[pulsar ibex]

both.

[cursive ore]

lol

[ionic kayak]

This isn’t making sense

[pulsar ibex]

2 or 3 matchs encounterd

[cursive ore]

ok but again i'm not using cheats

[bright trench]

maybe it was lag, i assume ur japanese, and this guy is french so it can be desync or lag

[cursive ore]

the game was also super laggy ngl

[bright trench]

when i match up against jps i usually have no time to pop a bubble when facing a cherry, but usually can do when fighting western

most cus of lag and delay or whatever it is

skill issue maybe too

[cursive ore]

idk what to say lol but i'm not cheating

[pulsar ibex]

ok, 1 shot kill is seems like desync. but why show Bucket Slosher icon as .52 gallon?????

[cursive ore]

i edited my save file

it's allowed since it's only visual

[pulsar ibex]

Can anyone explain this phenomenon?

[cursive ore]

the bucket slosher don't make any sense

like

[pulsar ibex]

why????????????

[cursive ore]

it doesn"t, give any advantage it's like having no sub

[ionic kayak]

Because you can

[cursive ore]

because it's allowed

[bright trench]

allowed since its only a visual no competitive advantage

[cursive ore]

the save is on gamebanana btw

[pulsar ibex]

It's true that there is almost no advantage to doing this, but there is a high chance that you will be judged as a cheater by players from when the official service was in operation, so it is best to avoid things like changing the icon and weapon combinations as much as possible.

like this time.

[bright trench]

i understand where youre comming drom and why it might have seemed like cheating. it can be difficult to determine when someone is actually cheating, so it’s good that you’re reporting . maybe Pretendo could provide clearer guidelines on what is and isnt allowed😇

[bold barn]

I believe you, especially since I don't have real evidence of you using cheats

[bold barn]

this is an invalid report, you must include video evidence

[pulsar ibex]

thanks for helping. please close report.

In particular, some cheaters who freeze the console or crash games also use similar methods, so they may be easily mistaken for cheaters who are familiar with the heyday of the game.

in japan, freeze cheater is known as "フリーズマスオTV".

[bright trench]

yes thats why its important to have clear video evidence so mixups dont happen🙏

[cursive ore]

if you want a bit of info my last cheating session was for Nintendo Network Shutdown

[pulsar ibex]

ok

[languid musk]

Seems someone was very excited to cheat in Monster Hunter
-# There isn't a PID grabber for Monster Hunter, is there?

[languid musk]

I think main is into it 🤷‍♂️ trying to figure out smthing bout it

[languid musk]

Why is it that every singel person with "TV" in there name cheats 😭

[misty sandal]

The PID grabber is in development

[night atlas]

it’s not a hacker but i think this should be banned

[potent vine]

just report them

[misty sandal]

Report button please

let me moderate juxt rn

[manic dune]

like it was any different on MK7 or Pokémon soon

[pulsar ibex]

idk, but many freeze cheater reported with that name....
so, sometime freeze cheater calling as "フリーズマスオTV" in japan.

[languid musk]

That's good at least

[languid musk]

Ok I translated it and it is in fact racist.

[misty sandal]

They got permanently banned

[astral cairn]

I love idiots.

[bleak solstice]

Is cheating on monster hunter a big issue? It really doesn't seem that bad unless there's pvp

[smoky star]

I rarely encounter any hackers from all my time playing monster hunter
to put things into perspective I've only encountered like 4-5 hackers from my 2k+ hours of playing monster hunter world

[smoky star]

there isn't really any pvp in monster hunter unless you count arm wrestling
the closest thing to pvp in mh is I think in monster hunter online (or some other monster hunter game) there was a system where you can keep a monster, level it up, and pin it against someone else's monster

[bold path]

How do you hack in that game?

[dull nimbus]

@cursive ore uhm... is someone impersonating you?

i doubt you're actually hacking though.

the weapon icon is okay to use online anyways

[dull nimbus]

pretty sure its allowed. its only visual.

[quasi sedge]

I could be wrong, but i’ve never seen katsu with NF in the front of his name so i doubt he is behind it

It is weird that their name is katsu as well though

[languid musk]

They were in this game, according to their own messages.
-# (Scroll down a bit from the initial report)

[quasi sedge]

Ohhhh

Yeah

Ig i should read

Yeah i trust him

Everything i see seems fine

[smoky star]

one shot kill, infinite hp/stamina etc., illegal charms/armor skills just to name a few

[cursive ore]

No it's actually me

I just changed my name on the wiiu recently

[languid musk]

The classics. The meat spam stand undefeated 🗿

[misty sandal]

Not everyone wants to play with cheaters

[bleak solstice]

Fair. That makes sense

Are there private rooms on MH?

[rocky wasp]

You can make rooms private with 4-digit passcodes, yes.

[rocky wasp]

I'm one of those people.
Back on official servers, I would call out and kick cheaters in my lobbies. Or call out and leave if someone else was host.

[misty sandal]

Only in private matches - gaining an unfair advantage or distrupting the online experience with people who didn't consent (as in public matches) is a bannable offense. We regularly apply account and console bans to both Wii U and 3DS systems. Pretendo uses extra security measures that make traditional 'unban' methods like changing your serial number ineffective.```

wait

there is a typo

gg quarky

[rocky wasp]

There are several methods of cheating in 4U, most of which involves save editing:

• Impossible relic equipment (Relic gear can have RNG stats normally, but people can edit them to make the stats ridiculous)
• Impossible Jwls/decors (such as having craftable versions of jwls/decors that are normally not craftable, like skills seen embedded in aforementioned relic gear)
• Impossible talismans (as pointed out in my previous report in here)
• Custom quests (also known as CQs, not to be confused with the vanilla game's GQs, or Guild Quests.
  These can do anything from giving 99 of every item in the game, having ridiculous monster counts or matchups, to giving max rank or the same uncraftable jwls/decors and custom edited equipment mentioned above)
• Lategame/endgame equipment before the appropriate rank (such as having G or Special Permit gear before even being rank G1)
  And of course there's the client-side cheats such as infinite Potions, other consumables, etc. But those are not easily noticeable since you can't see other player inventories.

And there's also the more egregious things like moon jumping, teleporting, 1-hit kills, instant status effect procs, etc.

CQs are the worst offenders because anyone can join them and get the cheated items and effects that they supply, even without being fully aware.

It's made even more possible for people to do CQs without realizing now on Pretendo, since any Japanese/4G exclusive quests have all of their text displayed as ? ? ? ? ? for 4U players.
So people could end up doing Japanese CQs under the assumption that they're doing regular Japanese/4G exclusive quests.

And since there isn't a proper, easily accessible list online of 4G exclusive quests (it's much easier to find 4U quest lists) that makes it even more confusing because people can't easily compare to be sure.

[cursive ore]

I wonder why nintendo never made any security regarding the serial id changing unban

[stuck obsidian]

i mean they could have banned the otp right away but i guess they would ban after like 5 serial id changes... whatever suits them

[cursive ore]

"yk what. Let them 5 more chances. I swear they will stop cheating"

[stuck obsidian]

i think they would randomly ban after around 3-6 serial id changes

i don't remember 😭

[cursive ore]

That's very dumb

Like they keep trace of your serial change but don't give a fuck until a certain amount ?

They were like "screw the wiiu let's make the best device the nx and let's ban them instantly with no unban method known to man"

[misty sandal]

Also Nintendo used to unban people

You could ask Nintendo to remove your 20102 on Wii

Ofc if you cheat again they wont unban you

[manic dune]

I remember tryharding to get banned, nothing ever happened. I felt disappointed. Anyways, we're drifting away from the purpose of this channel, my bad

[misty sandal]

True, let's keep it to reports now

It was good discussing what is considered cheating in MH4U

[manic dune]

maybe create a webpage for it, so u can have something for game specific rules & also clear up the everyday questions of cosmetics being fine and such.

[misty sandal]

a new banned error code will be used on Pretendo: Rambo will use 106-0306 for cheated time trials

[sand cedar]

106-0306 (Wii U)

Support code detected, press to expand information

[sand python]

Soon ™️

Like less than an hour

[misty sandal]

an ETA on Pretendo?????

[misty sandal]

do you ban PIDs or consoles?

I assume just PIDs

[sand python]

PID

[misty sandal]

I assume you are the one hosting the website too

[sand python]

Yes

The list will be public, any mods can ban devices as he wish

[reef sandal]

nice

[misty sandal]

what access level do we need

or is it that just for specific mods/devs

[sand python]

For MK8, greater or equal to 3

[misty sandal]

meaning any dev can ban

[sand python]

whatever this means

[misty sandal]

got it

[sand python]

Yeah

And an exception for me ahah

[misty sandal]

xD

can the dev team also delete cheated records?

[sand python]

Yeah

[reef sandal]

good

[misty sandal]

nice, that means we can always ban the whole PNID if we want other than having your ban system

that's a good start to having game bans (even if it's just partial MK8)

[sand python]

I will ban the most obvious and clear their times, then hopefully devs ban their devices from the official Pretendo admin panels

[reef sandal]

no more nintendo network hacked trials anymore haha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JjRHvGh5io

[misty sandal]

nice, make a list of the PNIDs you have banned later here

PIDs*

[sand python]

It will be public on the website ahah

[misty sandal]

oh lmao

first ever public ban list???

[reef sandal]

i have 1, let me forward

[sand python]

Only PID, reason, startTime, endTime

[languid musk]

can someone inform me whats happening? ive been caught up in school lately (sorry to bother)

[sand python]

Their PNID will not be shown

[misty sandal]

you can do temp bans?

[edgy scroll]

rip no more bullet bill in time trial

[sand python]

just PID and maybe Mii name in the reason

yeah

[misty sandal]

temp bans use 106-0346 right?

[sand cedar]

106-0346 (Wii U)

Support code detected, press to expand information

[misty sandal]

and 0306 are perma bans

[reef sandal]

pip, you want to try to temp ban me to find out? (if you can undo it later)

[sand python]

They all use 0306

Permanent bans will just have a long end time

Okay nvm i'll do a toggle for temp/perm

[misty sandal]

i am not a dev

[reef sandal]

ok

[misty sandal]

only access level 3 can ban

[sand python]

I tried everything locally, it appears to work as expected

[misty sandal]

i am access level 2
