I played darkest dungeon in layered FS when it was just discovered. I play my games mostly with airplane mode on
And I've been using my own dump of Mario kart 8 online

so why not just go rent game, dump game, return game, keep playing game online like u still have the cart?
If someone buys the game after you have dumped it and both play online at the same time, it might be enough to be blacklisted. And then someone else, who is innocent, will be banned...
1. Yes by using SXOS.
2. Yes latest firmware, i before used homebrew at 3.0.0.
Is there any way we could study/check if the certificate is anyhow linked to a game or is it just linked to some kind of serial number of the storage card itself ?
If the certificate is determined when making the cartridge instead of when the game is written in the cartridge then it could be a good option.
I'll wait couple of days to see if you are ban before I try it out

Keeping an eye on this thread as well. OP's method is certainly interesting, but their probability of getting banned is already high considering they've used LayeredFS, which seems to be the primary cause of the majority of the bans so far.
Wondering if the same scenario plays out for someone who only started using SX OS on v1.1, and never touched LayeredFS, using only the method described in the OP.

I'm in this boat, and I'm willing to test out this theory.
I've been on 4.1.0, with my WiFi enabled and connected the entire time. Can't do anything involving their online services on this firmware anyway, so if I'm not banned yet, I'll find out when I update, and will definitely find out once I start testing this method out.
If for nothing else, for the knowledge. Would prefer to not be banned, but not the end of the world if I am.
You're a brave soul. Godspeed. Please keep us updated as to how things go!
What would be cool is if you would play only private backups (your own or your friends cards) and try some online. At least unique cert online
Breath of the Wild is the only physical game I own. I tend to go digital-only, but like to at least keep 1 physical game in the slot.
I'll just post here my total experience, but tldr, so far after updating, I'm not banned.
I've updated my Switch just now, and it's not banned at all. Not yet, at least.
Friends works, eShop works, News works, updates work, and my legit eShop download of Mario Kart 8D works (All that I tried so far, but don't really need to try them all). Some more background on my usage of Switch hacks, and keep in mind I've been running firmware 4.1.0, Error Reporting is disabled, and have had my WiFi enabled and connected the ENTIRE time:
I first hacked my Switch using Ctcaer's Hekate mod and tumGER's SDFiles v1.2. At this point, I enabled AutoRCM, booted into Atmosphere, installed Gag-Order and from here on, only used small homebrews, Retroarch, and some other random stuff from the Switchbru Appstore. Some of the homebrew bullshit frequently crashed, and probably generated a bunch of logs. Ran in Atmosphere the entire time, never turned the system off unless it crashed, or I needed to add something to my SD. That's how I used my console until SX OS v1.1 dropped. I bought JUST a license from ModChipsDirect, "acquired" the BBB release of Xenoblade Chronicles 2, loaded it up, and played for like, 2 hours maybe. Good game, but starts very slow.
So, with all the talk of bans being handed out, that's when I decide to document my own shit, and at least update my system to check if what I'd already done was worthy of a ban. After all, I haven't taken any precautions up to this point. My update process went like this: I removed the XC2 icon from my games list, I loaded the hekate payload again (with updated SDFiles at this point), and ran nx-dreport (Cleared logs) for the very first, and only time (I took this step because, if it turned out I wasn't already banned, in my theory, possibly due to running a lower firmware, I didn't want these to get sent after I'd updated). After that, the system booted into normal firmware 4.1.0, had already downloaded 5.1.0 (Because I was on WiFi the entire time), and was as simple as hitting Update, rebooting, and voila.
At this point, I'm going to take things slow, but here's my plan: Going to continue to leave my system connected at all times. Going to update and launch all my purchased eShop games from Official Firmware. If there are any leftover logs that can be sent, that should deliver them to Nintendo. If in 24-hours I'm not banned, I'll ONLY update all my backups from SX OS. What I've done regarding certs is, I replaced all of the dummy certs from the BBB releases with a legit cert from my personal Breath of the Wild cart (It's the only cart I own. I'm a digital kinda guy). If I'm not banned 24-hours after that, I'll attempt to play BBB's release of Cave Story+ for the first time (With my BOTW certs injected). It's an offline game, so would be interesting to see if that does anything after another 24-hours, at which time, I'll try playing BBB's release of Splatoon 2 online.
I dunno if 24-hours is enough, but I just want to make sure if it happens, it's easier to pinpoint what actually triggered it.
Is there a distinction in this case between the header and the cert? Might be worth replacing both in all your BBB releases in the event Nintendo is looking for cert/header mismatches.
Not sure if it's possible to replace the header. It's not something I've looked into.
Just, OP of this thread said this is how he's been doing it, so I wanted to do a more controlled test (as much as I can).
By some miracle he's avoided a ban thus far, so I'd assume they're just not looking at that stuff just yet.
