[Draxzelex]

Updated OP with the latest results from the spreadsheet. I promise I'll get down to adding the dates for people who are banned eventually (unless some kind soul is willing to do it for me).

I got an email saying that I was banned from using Splatoon 2's online services, which is weird, because I didn't mess with Splatoon 2 until yesterday, and I'm still on 5.1.0 so I couldn't go online. I did mod my save, unlocked everything to say goodbye to the game since I'm not upgrading to 6.0.0. Oh well, I guess I'll double check and make sure I'm not online anymore. Time to bring on some roms!

I'm sorry to hear that. Can you be so kind as to fill out a ban report by checking the first post of this thread so we know which homebrew caused it? And since you're from Europe presumably, it also may be in your best interest to check out this thread on how they may be able to reverse your ban.

Additional Comments:

After 6.0.0 update, Auto RCM was removed, this hinted me that the ban was coming. I was able to browse freely and over-night (I suspect the console while in sleep mode had some activity), I got the error (Notice: I was able to use online services on-around 1am, woke up at 9am banned. Could the change in Auto RCM be a trigger?

Edit: There were some homebrew that crashed several times. I did not knew there was a clear log procedure.

exactly like you but with autorcm off

 

[V-Temp]

Auto-RCM is always turned off when the system updates. Thats normal.

There must be some other issue, perhaps in the patcher for the 'cfw' solution in use, is now being picked up or they can monitor certain patching activity. Or you had error logs or cleared improperly said logs.

 

[radicalwookie]

Hm I may be wrong but it seems like there was a banwave. Two of my friends got smacked.
Im kind of happy I didnt fiddle around with my switch

Lots of reports on here too, just scattered around.

 

[Tumoche]

there was a banwave.
i left my switch for a week in its dock and banned

 

[KHEOPS]

What's for sure is that those who are banned, we updated to 6.0 me not yet, I already said I was waiting 1 month or 2 before restoring my own nand in 5.1.0 (so I stay in 5.1.0) and there are more banished people for homebrew, I'm sad, but I knew it!!, that's why I'll never go online without restoring my nand,because psnes and retron x have crashed the system....

Just use Lakka.

 

[KHEOPS]

Hello everybody
Yes but it's too late, I'll use only lakka, when we have sound, because I have to restore my own nand, then update to 6.0 then redump my nand ,To then use lakka properly.
For ban homebrew But I can't believe it anyway...
Are the ban people with homebrew sure they didn't do anything wrong?

I bought a switch, to have more power than my gpd xd android kitkat 4.4.4, for emulators ( my passion, retrogaming)
But we're still far from my performances, 100% fullspeed on all 8.16-bit consoles, and psx 32-bit, + shader, video filter, customizable ration aspect the n64 runs well, not all fullspeed, but banjo kazooie,mario 64, zelda etc..
So I expect progress, I am very patient even patient, that's why I don't care about fw 6.0.

exactly like you but with autorcm off
