Hacking Question The Safety of Modchips

[Gameboyandwatch]

I plan on buying the Team Xecutor modchip to emilate GameCube games mostly, but I was wondering about a few things. Firstly, will I get banned for using this? I'll only be using it for emulating classic games. Secondly, will it remain functional (and without ban) if my console updates? I'm currently on the newest update.

If you want to hack your Switch, just to emulated gc, you shouldn't try to hack it in the first place...
1. You can get banned. So staying offline is the best thing to do.
2. Yes

P.S.: There are free options with same functionality as SX OS, so you don't need to spend your money.

Emulated gc? Isn't that what the modchip does? And i i thought you needed to be on an old OS to use SX OS (I'm on newest)

modchip allows you to have CFW. People are able to somewhat emulate N64 right now, but it still runs like a **** so it will take some serious time to get GameCube working.
And you can use any CFW on any FW (except 1.0.0, which is broken for most CFWs).

The switch cannot emulate GameCube games very well as of now, and what does work is only done in Lakka. For free. No modchip needed.

Sorry for the necropost, but is there a guide I could view on how to use SX OS without spending money? I mean I thought you NEEDED a modchip to be able to boot into that.

You need something to push payload to your Switch. So PC, modchip = dongle, phone.
And instead of free SX OS, go with any free CFW.
