except you'll most likely need a second console which then defeats the purpose.

Ex. buy cheap broken switch reflash "numbers" to console /maybe?

But thinking if is possible to fake certs?

question: if you're system is banned or even if it's sent in for repairs and a new system is returned to you, can you just download your games to the new system? is the content tied to the account, system or both? also, if you have cloud saving enabled, will you be able to download and use saves from the old system on the new one as long as it's the same account?

^ would like to know this too

The content is tied to the Nintendo Account they were downloaded with as well as any saves. There's just no telling if Nintendo will ban any systems associated with that account if one of the consoles was banned for being associated with it.

how i can update my ban switch?

Download game updates in .NSP format and install them with Tinfoil and firmware files using xbins to install with ChoiDujourNX

Nintendo's certificates are encrypted with a 2,048 character long key. Bruteforcing that would take longer than there is time left before the Sun burns out.

Its stored in the prodinfo partition of the Switch.

You're not faking a certificate. First, you're never getting their key to generate a certificate, second, the certificate has to be valid on their end for it to be accepted and they will only be validated if they create it themselves.

Buy a second console.

Still have to use the damn dongle in the joycon slots though, so, pass.

You don't if you do the 7 wire install for Rebug's SwitchMe. It automatically puts the Switch into RCM, or RCM if you hold Vol + (6 wire install) during boot. No jigs required.

I wasn't aware of that, that puts my fears at ease, but the whole "Nintendo cracking down" and banning kind of worries me.

 

[Ericthegreat]

If you're superbanned, I don't think sys trans works. You'd have to get a hackable switch and do a quick Checkpoint move then clean up.

Nothing to difficult and Checkpoint should be entirely undetectable for a simple transfer and then clean operation there after.

Checkpoint could crash, causing a system log.

you probably got banned because you downloaded a game using reinx. thats how i went down, too

Only SX XCI here. Though i Did test out homebrew and installed a NSP but not with any free methods. No ban here.

In the past, they've just returned such systems with no repairs or replacements done. They won't work on systems they've detected (and banned) even if you've offered to pay for a repair.

So here is my situation.

I have two systems. One on 2.0.0, which has my main Nintendo account, with a legit Fast RMX purchase from it. The other is on 3.0.1 or 3.0.2 (I forget).

Now, I really am behind on switch stuff, so I don’t have a full understanding on everything (don’t know the difference between xci vs nsp for example), but really I have been holding off this entire time for emunand, in hopes that it would mitigate ban risks (I don’t care about online, but it doesn’t mean I don’t care about my system being banned either)

My question is, if I unlink my Nintendo account from the 2.0.0 and link it to my 3.0.2 console (yes I know I would have to be on the latest fw do so, but this is hypothetical), would I be able to redownload the game on the 3.0.2 system? I ask only because I am pretty sure I heard early on that game purchases are tied to both account AND console

Yes because games are tied to the account, not the console.

Are you entirely sure about it not being tied to the console as well as the account?

Also, the thing Nintendo announced a few days back, about having to confirm which system has which ID as you won’t be able to unlink starting September 18, since that’s when 6.0.0 was going to dropped. That’s not an actual server checked date for linking and stuff, it’s just that you won’t be able to do it on 6.0.0 .. right?

In other words, can I still unlink from one device and link to another?

The games would have to be redownloaded on the new console, which you can do so from the eShop, so long as the console is not banned.

Nintendo just made unlinking manually impossible when firmware 6.0 was released; you should still be able to call them and give them a legitimate reason to unlink it such as losing your console, having it stolen, or selling it to a friend. You can also just setup a non-primary account on the Switch that's not listed as the primary account so it can have access to all of the same things as the primary Switch as long as the second console is online.

So just to confirm, regardless of what fw you are on, its no longer manually possible to unlink?

I knew the other info. Thanks for the help

 

[SG911]

I've already been banned for a while now. Mainly for backups & what not i assume, litterally haven't done any other kinds of modding. Wondering tho if i should even update or would need to for games.

Unfortunately, yes. While there are some reasons why Nintendo would disable manually unlinking accounts, they've removed the ability to do so.
