So has Sony been banning for bubbles?

Post by gmdfunk »

I am feeling a little paranoid about Sony banning my PSN account for my custom bubbles on my 3.18 vita. If I just keep it on airplane mode am I safe? What's the community opinion?

Quite honestly, I'm not sure if they can even tell be it that your Vita isn't signed in. Yes Sony can communicate with your Vita at any time if it's online, but as far as custom bubbles go, I haven't heard of anyone getting banned. I'm not sure either, just as curious as you are...

I am thinking about setting up a second psn account just to buy one exploit game, and use my second vita only on it. That way I'm not risking my other purchases. I only use my second vita for old emulators and psp games (which I own the physical copy of). I know I could just get a psp, but the screens are smaller, not as nice, and I like the second analog stick that I can assign to functions.

The Vita uploads the last played games to the profile in PSN so make sure you don´t go online, that´s all.

But you will eventually want to go online if you have a 3.35 Vita. And as far as I understand, custom bubbles are the only way, to do certain things on 3.35. So will the Vita eventually upload your last played games as soon as you go online again? Is there a way to prevent it, or will we have to create a second account (involving Vita reset and mem card switching) to do that?

No. This was just a false alarm.

I noticed that Near also keeps a list of what's been played, but I have no idea if it's using the same list that's uploaded to PSN or if it's a second instance of it. I also wonder if using the same name and icon as an official game is enough to make it look legit to Sony, or if there's something else in place, like an MD5 hash check or something.

Katsu i think i might of spell it wrong... but you guys should know that he and some big guy was the first to downgrade using the nand.
so untell we get a confirmation that you get banned using custom bubbles that the nand downgrade is the only method or a fact for the banned. So please wait for a confirmation from other accounts. Just a reminder. lol

IMO Sony won't ban unless they gave people a warning. Just like how they do ban wave on all CFW PS3 last time.

*might have

He never said it was his main account. I can also set up bubbles, login into a random banned account and claim Sony banned me for the bubbles.
