my dad works for ninty but is a double agent and is working on xci loading just for you OP!
It's not really a question of having money to lose. A banned Switch is still perfectly fine, it's just that you can't do anything online with it. It's a calculated risk. People are willing to take a chance of being banned to enjoy all the benefits of a hacked console. If they aren't willing to take the chance, they don't hack it, or buy a second Switch for online play only (but what fun is there in having an unhacked Switch? )
Not getting into the risk /less risk of ban argument, but looking back, roms that doesn't require installation always wins the race in the long run. In a short future, we won't be having this debate.
They see it when you play online with a XCI without a cert or a shared certI didn't understand everything in your message...
Roms? Which Roms are you talking about?
Dump xci? Is this a rom for you?
Otherwise an xci doesn't install anything? Okay, where are my backups? How do you think nintendo sees the use of xci? That's a good question, isn't it?
Past Smash Bros games were barely playable online, so I'm not too hopeful there. It just requires such low latency and instant response that even a slightly high ping ruins it for everyone in the match.Out of curiosity, isn't the upcoming Smash Bros an online-oriented game? Why would someone who hacked his Switch be hyped about it, if he won't be able to enjoy the game the way it's meant to be played? To be honest, I'll probably download it when it's out, but I would definitely not call myself "hyped" about it.

Yeah, cause that's what happened on the 3ds and WiiUNot getting into the risk /less risk of ban argument, but looking back, roms that doesn't require installation always wins the race in the long run. In a short future, we won't be having this debate.
best chance is just getting a second switch for online playLooking at the poll, right now it is in favor of XCI loading
If you can't wait like 20minutes for a game to install, I don't know why are you even downloading them.
What you're saying is pretty much nonsense. OMG YOU ARE SO HYPED. YOU HAVE TO HAVE IT IMMEDIATELY!!!
I'm using homebrew and playing my own dumps as xci online for month, wasn't banned yet, but I also haven't installed any nsps and used atmospheres creport with sxos to reduce the number of errors send to Nintendo. I'm prepared to get banned someday, but if you know what you are doing, and that Nintendo detects piracy and modding mainly by game cert and error logs, the chance is not that high to get banned if you keep those clean (and deleting error reports in 5.x+ may also be a bad idea since they log how many logs got created and send).https://gbatemp.net/threads/own-dumps-will-still-get-banned.517339/

e's your answer OP. You will get banned regardless if you own the games or not. Wanna know why? You don't get banned for piracy, you get banned for hacking your console because it is a violation of their Terms of Service. Nintendo couldn't care less where the dumps came from. Should they care is a different matter entirely. But the point is that playing your own dumps of games via a hacked console is as much a risk of getting banned as playing dumps you don't own. For starters, they cannot verify if you own any .XCI games so it makes sense to ban anyone using these should they have the evidence. .NSP is easier but requires more effort on their part as that would have to a manual review process across millions of Nintendo Accounts.
tl;dr Nintendo bans users for hacking not piracy. Piracy is just easier to detect on a hacked console versus homebrew.

Like I said, I didn't go into the argument of potential risk of banning in my post. I'm sure that if a format came into existence that was completely safe, it would take over but I'm certain that convince (the copy-and-go nature of xci) will be the choice for most. Developers and released groups alike.I didn't understand everything in your message...

Otherwise an xci doesn't install anything? Okay, where are my saved games? How do you think nintendo sees the use of xci? That's a good question, isn't it?

Obviously, we want it. But do we need it?Looking at the poll, right now it is in favor of XCI loading
Just installed diablo 3 (13GB) in 12 minutes.20 minutes? more like double that.. installing games on the Switch is so slow.
Just installed diablo 3 in 12 minutes.
Diablo 3 is 13GB.Diablo is only 4GB in size so yeah, I'd expect that to install ''quickly'' (12 minute quick haha!!)
Okay, that explains a lot. I have to admit that I've never been a fan of the series, and barely tried the previous entries. I had that misconception that the main draw for players was the online experience. Thanks for clarifying.Past Smash Bros games were barely playable online, so I'm not too hopeful there. It just requires such low latency and instant response that even a slightly high ping ruins it for everyone in the match.
But for sure Smash is not and has never been an online oriented game. Although I would still like online that actually worked, I'd probably not use it much.
