So they weren't really banning people for just xci's until they decided to do this superban. They probably tagged people for that awhile ago and this superban was the start of a ban wave they decided to do.

Yeah. I assumed only people using nsp will be superbanned. But all my 3 XCI only switches have been banned. Not a huge issue though, you can get firmware updates through XCI games that require that firmware, so I don’t care.

Has anyone been banned with an active, used credit card on their eShop account? That is, a CC you have used to purchase eShop games and it's saved on your account?

Superbans have nothing to do with the format of the game you are using

I just got superbanned with the error 2137-7403. Will there still be a way for me to update the switch firmware? Currently on 5.1.0
Yes by using a tool known as ChoiDujourNX and finding the update firmware files on the Internet (not here as those are copyrighted). Btw, can you submit a ban report as well? :)

Did you play any .XCI files online with a certificate/header? I don't know what this means
Do you have a certificate/header ban (look for error code 2124-4025)? N
Lowest SX Version used when Online/Offline (NOT Switch System Firmware)? 1.3
What do you use Non-TX LayeredFS for? N
Did you connect to the Internet with a non-TX LayeredFS Inject? I don't know, I just used SX OS, updating it from 1.3 to 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6

Did you perform any CDN/Freeshop downloading with your own Switch's certificate? I downloaded NSPs from Google Drive, then installed them using DevMenu and later SX OS's own NSP installer once they patched it. I then proceeded to do "check for errors" on my Switch console, which it does then erases the NSP installed games. I then redownloaded the games within the Switch by checking for updates, and then the Switch would install them anew through Ninty's servers. I can't do that anymore, because that was before I got superbanned.

Check the OP. There's a form for you to copy/paste. There are also Google Form links if you have a Gmail Account and prefer not to copy/paste.
Is this how I do it? I don't know if that helped at all, with me not able to understand some of the questions. I honestly don't mind being banned because I don't play online, but still hope I can use my banned switch for years to come... I hope. Is that possible in your opinion?

I noted some discrepancies in your answers.

If you can use the eShop, you're not CDN banned (aka superbanned).
Did you perform any CDN/Freeshop downloading with your own Switch's certificate? Y I think so, after installing NSP, I did check for error, which the Switch found and re-downloaded from Ninty server before I got superbanned
Did you dump your console's certificate to use with any of the CDN tools and/or used anything along the lines of Freeshop?

I edited it. Sorry, I thought the first question you mentioned was DID I use the eshop before. I can't access it anymore.

Yes, the rest of your questions are fine. Usually I assume you didn't use something if you have no idea what it is. A lot of the questions involve features not found in SX OS, or at least not explicitly. As for your other concern, a banned Switch can run games just fine which is its main purpose anyways. Also you can spoof online play via a game that supports local play with a VPN server so even that possibility is not lost with a ban.

I still need you to be more specific about your answer to the second question I asked.

Hi, I updated my answer to be as specific as I can remember. I hope that answers your question

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
