Just played a few games and ran into people spamming lighting and spikes shells while lapping people multiple times. I thought you can’t go online with a patched Switch? Wouldn’t you immediately get banned?

Is possible that what was hacked is the save file of the game hence allowing for cheats without hacking the console itself.

Edit: Confirmed, the game will default save to a sd card if you have one installed, making it easy to either hack the save file or replace it with a hacked one. Since the Switch itself is not hacked, that tends to bypass getting banned. The same is possible for any Switch game that puts the save file in the sd card.
Confirmed according to what? Because on Nintendo's website, they say the exact opposite of what you are claiming.
Game Progress & Save Data
Where is game save data stored?
On Nintendo Switch, game save data is stored on the console’s System Memory. This will not change whether downloadable software or software from a game card is being played.

Game save data cannot be saved or copied to a microSD card.

Technically you can go online with a patched Switch or any hacked console for that matter. There is no such thing as an insta-ban and Nintendo typically bans in waves but there hasn't been a banwave for a while. That being said, it is not out of the realm of possibility for a hacked console to not be banned after going online but it is strange that these "hackers" haven't been banned yet as people who actively hack online games tend to get hit rather quickly.

Uh... I guess I confused it with the game data.

I guess.... transfer save data from a hacked switch to an unhacked one might work?

https://en-americas-support.nintend...-save-data-to-a-nearby-nintendo-switch-system

So you need two switchs, a hacked one and an unhacked one. You backup your save data on the hacked switch then transfer it to the unhacked one. Then restore the save data from the backup in the hacked switch?

Does that work?

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
