Cloud Saves can get you banned?

[KeyMerVin]

Hi!. I asked it on reddit, but I´ll ask it here too ^^

So... I have a NieR: Automata save on a modded and non banned Switch. I used Breeze+ Overclock to get the game to 60 FPS.

Using Breeze leaves "bad traces" on a save file? I did not apply mods; just cheats, btw

I uploaded that save file to Nintendo´s Cloud, and... I have 2 Nintendo Switch:

- The V1 Switch where that save file was uploaded from

- A non modded OLED one where I really use to play all of my games.

So, the question is: if I add the Nintendo´s account from the V1 Switch to the OLED and download that save file I´m talking about from Nintendo´s cloud... do I risk a ban on the OLED?

I think it would not be fair, and that could even create "infinite bans", couldn´t it?

Thanks

Modded saves could be a ban reason, yes.

But... doesn't that mean you could get infinite consoles banned just for downloading a save file stored at Nintendo's cloud? Isn't that too much?

Besides, the save file... is it modded even if I only ran cheats, which work on the RAM?

I uploaded modded saves to Nintendo cloud and nothing is happened, so no ban.

but... edit the saves for Splatoon 2/3, Pokemon (illegal Pokemon) and Super Smash Bros Ultimate are discouraged because of in game ban.

I would say no. When you save the game, it is saved into the savefile. And this makes your savegame modded.

I believe it's game dependent. I've never seen a ban for Animal Crossing New Horizons modded saves cloud or not and map/RAM editing is incredibly common with it, I believe Pokemon is also okay depending on what you were doing. Like obtaining unreleased Pokemon and then cloud saving would be a hard ban but using Pkhex for editing is safe. Super unlikely any offline-based game like NieR would be a problem especially if you're using temporary RAM edits like FPS modifiers that don't modify any game content, YMMV of course but their bans are almost always multiplayer focused due to cheating concerns.

There is no certainty to anything because we're not nintendo.
The only thing we know is that you won't get banned if you don't hack your switch. That's all.

I say please don't do it. You never know when or if Nintendo do checks

 

[djcraze]

Nintendo's doesn't even invest in proper CDN infrastructure, it's highly unlikely they have the resources to scan your saves for cheats. I say you're fine.

I have the same problem here but I don´t know how to transfer save data anda I am going to explain what I want!
I want to transfer my modded animal crossing save to my unmodded animal crossing to the same console because I have the original game too. Is it possible? and how can I do this? Thanks a lot

 

[KeyMerVin]

With Animal Crossing I'm not sure I can help, because it's a special case. But for my question now I have an answer too; no ban. At least by now, and should not get one

The save is now on two non modded and the modded one. I uses Nintendo Cloud Storage for the copying

Cheers! And thanks everyone ^^

I'm trying to understand about what are you trying to say. Cloud save isn't supported for Animal Crossing (ACNH) so you have option - download official app from eShop to transfer the save to other Switch.

or use JKSV to transfer save - ACNH uses device save.

Your welcome, you will be fine.

Don't load modded saves on Pokemon (all series), Splatoon 2/3 and Super Smash Bros Ultimate while Switch is connected to internet, that all.

I want to transfer to the same console, not a different one. I want to use my modded save on my unmodded game.

I'm trying to say that I want to use the modified save from the unlocked Switch with the original game in locked mode on the same device. I don't have two switches.

Are you saying that you have emunand and sysnand? You want to move a save from emunand to sysnand?

That's it! But I don't know the steps to transfer the save.

take a look what I found ...
This is what I need!

JKSV is the one I'd recommend. Checkpoint is good, and tinfoil also has a built in save manager. Realistically if you're more comfortable with a certain software they all work pretty much the same

1. Open save manager
2. Back up save
3. copy save from sd card to pc (FTP, SD card reader, MTP)
4. copy save from pc to new switch sd card
5. use save manager to put the save file back.

as an added bonus if animal crossing is one of the games you can use the island transfer tool between both hacked and non hacked systems. How can I do this?
