How to avoid get banned

[BBOYDU]

Hi guys!

two days ago I installed rp2040 tiny on my switch v2 but not install nothing on sd card, the only thing I do in the moment was power on and see the message no sd card and press both volume buttons to bypass and go to home screen for be sure is ok, after that I put my sd card with I use with ofw and get the message failed to open payload.bin and press again both volume buttons and go to my home screen, but my switch not connect to the internet, at this point may I get banned???

What I have to do now to install on sd card and avoid get banned?
I want to use ofw to go online, and cfw to play offline, is that possible?

The big N ban hammer is extremely random in choosing consoles and accounts to ban... some haven't ever touched CFW and experienced a ban and visa versa, those using CFW have never experienced a ban. It comes with the territory my friend.

Use emunand for offline game dumps (pirated games) and system nand for online games (you need to buy your games) dont ever connect your emunand to wifi and you will never get banned and dont run CFW on system nand.

I know the risk, but I want to minimize the risks, but thank you for your answer

I have my account with some games, and some physical games, I cannot connect to wifi so how I can download games by tinfoil or some store on emmunand?

Befere copying your sysnand:

* Delete wifi passwords
* Disable cloud saving (this is purely for convenience, since you will get a "Could not find cloud saves" nag everytime you open a CFW software)
* Block nintendo system update url in your router (to prevent firmware updating unwillingly firmware updates)

After copying sysnand:

You will land onto CFW offline since you removed your wifi passwords. Proceed to install 90DNS and 90DNSTester.
One will block nintendo urls, the other is for checking if they are actually reachable.

You don't need to go online when in CFW ever, since everything can be done via usb.

I use a different SD card that only has the Nintendo folder for OFW, and I boot into it with the volume buttons.

Using CFW on your Switch always carries a risk of getting banned, especially if you go online. To minimize this risk, always use official firmware (OFW) for online play and keep CFW strictly offline. Setting up emuMMC (emulated NAND) is highly recommended, as it allows you to run CFW separately without modifying your system's original NAND. Additionally, blocking Nintendo servers using custom DNS or Incognito can help prevent telemetry from being sent. Never launch CFW on sysNAND if you plan to go online with OFW, as any modifications detected can lead to a ban. To install the necessary files on your SD card, ensure it is formatted to FAT32, then download and set up Hekate, Atmosphère, and the required payloads.
