So basicially i just got myself a switch and would love to play my gamecube/wii games on it.
I have experience having custom firmware on my Nintendo DS and 3DS systems and am a tech savy, so when having a glimpse on the entire situation as far as I can tell the way to do it on the switch is basicially backing up the "system" onto an SD card, mod it and then boot it from there.

I know you get flagged and eventually banned suspicious activity. People try to block nintendos online services to avoid this.

I want to use my switch this way:
I want to run my physical copies online and play normally off the system NAND and would want to run CFW on my SD offline only. How likely is it to get banned this way? Also I havent looked into making the CFW yet but I'd still like to ask, if there is any way to make internet literally unusable on the CFW, maybe disabling the wifi card entirely / ruining the driver, as I have no intention of going online with the CFW at all.

You would need an unpatched unit for this, you have to separate your NAND, keep all your online stuffs on Sysnand, and keep all your CFW/Homebrew stuffs on Emunand.

There is always a risk of getting banned when hacking.

    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
