Hacking Nintendo Switch Banning Hub & Warning

[Draxzelex]

Would you recommend removing the SD before booting OFW?

Not really, its an unnecessary precaution from my point of view. The Switch doesn't even scan its own USER partition. And you can use CFW without an SD card.

That doesn't do anything against a ban xD

It depends and it is up to you.

For me, I would recommend to do that, but others said not need.

It is likely safe until next firmware update and if Nintendo add scanner to SD so we will know based on unusual, surprise bans.

Any reliable and streamlined way to avoid NSO ban?

I mean... you could use emunand with SX OS? But which ever you use for cfw (probably emunand) would need to remain offline...

I buy legit games on Switch, I want to replace the low quality audio files in Dark Souls

Use atmosphere, stay offline while using the mod, and you should be fine

It's possible left Homebrew Launcher installed in menu, then boot CFW atmosphere from there?
Of course enabling air-plane mode when launching Homebrew Launcher.
Is there still risk of ban?
Does HBL left footprints that are reported then when you go online under normal use?

Nintendo gets logs of crashes and such... They will most likely know that you have booted homebrew from day one. Not sure if anyone has been banned from just using homebrew but you never know...

I see, that sucks

*cough* Emunand *cough*

Option 1: Emunand

Option 2: You need a CLEAN nand backup (before ever running CFW), and you need to restore that clean NAND before going online. Rinse, repeat.
