Other than the cart dumping tool, just game backups for now.
guys - ive been super intrigued by this thread.
For newbs is there a thread to read?
I'm still awaiting my card - but i did purchase a few games that i'd like to dump and run as back ups.
Am i at risk for getting banned if i backup my games then sell them which would most likely result in someone else using those games ?

If you never play them online, your risk is greatly diminished. Outside of that, going online with backups is ill-advised as it will lead to a ban one way or another (either game's unique certificate/header and/or your console will get banned).
Hey bro I hope you could answer some doubts I got. Were you banned before of after installing NSP's? and were they games, DLC's or updates?

great news nintendo finally has a cheat stopping powers . . . so many games will have proper competitive online because of this
Can you still use your switch if it’s banned? What can you do with it. I still haven’t been banned “yet” but seriously worrying anytime!

Tbh serves you right bud, you just went silly in the end using games without certificates etc..
I’ve just red your report on the thread about your ban, man you were blatant with everything, you were hardcore, have you got no morals? you even went online gaming with an nsp file but the funny part is you never received a certificate ban..
Looks like I’m the last man standing from the originals like us! The question now is, how long can I keep going???

There's a lot of things you can do with a banned Switch contrary to popular belief. Game and system updates are a given, but as long as the linked Nintendo Account is not banned, you can actually still buy/download eShop games. Just use Nintendo's website with your Nintendo Account, grab whatever you want there, then select "Update Download Progress" from your console and voila! You can still use the eShop to buy and download whatever you want. I have a whole section dedicated on what you can do after a ban in my thread. So far, there are no workarounds for online play (without a private server) or retrieving installed titles that were deleted, not archived (without using eXhop).
I give an ETA of about 5 hours.
Thanks so even if your console is banned the only real restriction is online gaming doesn't sound that terrible and much of a "banned" console to me, can you still use your back ups and nsp's on a banned console also install .nsp files via devmenu and play all your physicals properly?. Tbh I would not pay Nintendo for online access anyway (it should be free outright, charging is a ridiculous move by Nintendo) so losing online play is not much of a deterrent!
You have 5hrs. to comply! and counting. I really feel the ban is coming anytime I have no doubt in my mind at all.

If you're talking 4007 error, I'm not sure that's 100% correct. I can not get to the eShop at all from the console. I can, however, update games, which I thought was strange. Not sure about updating the console itself.
Game and system updates will always be possible, ban or not. As for the eShop, it won't work from the console alone, but if you login to Nintendo's website with your Nintendo Account, download/buy anything, then select "Update Download Progress", it will indeed start downloading whatever you just got. I had another banned user confirm this. eXhop works too but its less official.
Oh, I see what you're saying. Through the site. Interesting. I'll have to try that.

I'm curious, will an eShop game like Jackbox Party Pack be able to connect to the internet since it's not connecting to anything Nintendo-based?
Some people say it doesn't work since you have to go through Nintendo's servers first while others say it should because of what you said. The problem is I haven't seen anyone actually try it so it might be useful intel to have if it does work after trying it.
I think I'm gonna go ahead and download the nsp file for Jackbox Party Pack 4 and install it and see what happens. Now that my Switch is banned, I'm not afraid to use DevMenu on it. ;-)
Good to know. I won't waste my time then.
I'm about to get a 2nd Switch to be used Online.
Hey, do you know if wireless console-to-console connections for games work?
If you mean local multiplayer, that should work since those do not need a Wi-Fi connection to work. Obviously, your Switch cannot be in Airplane Mode though.
No.. I'm not talking local multiplayer. Well, not exactly. I'm talking direct Switch-to-Switch wireless play. For example: https://en-americas-support.nintend...-wireless-play-feature-of-mario-kart-8-deluxe
