Hacking Nintendo Switch Banning Hub & Warning

[OnyXxX]

Your installed game probably on an emunand.

I see.. is nintendo will detect anything from my emunand?

 

[chrisrlink]

@OnyXxX probably not unless new telemetry is implimented but i doubt they will as thats a legal issue (for nintendo) to scan SD cards, i'm supprised it is a legality issue since according to any game console maker you don't own your console, then again they got in trouble in the EU by "forced updating" the Wii U (auto updates fq in standby and if you don't agree to the EULA it shuts down) then again MS intentionally bricked 360's that were JTAGED anyways point is i 100% doubt they could impliment a way to scan files on a SD card so as he told you as long as you only install nsps on emunand your fine a good way to help is to install a custom theme on emunand so you can tell easily what fw you're on

Thank you for your answer

It is just more safe to switch sd card every time?
For exemple when I want to play online on my clean sysnand I use my clean 64gb sdcard and when I want to go on my offline emunand I switch to my 128gb sd card with the atmosphere/emunand partition?

I mean they probably don't have the right to scan sd card but i'm sure they can find a way to ban us on telemetry we don't know

Even operating under the assumption that they can somehow legally scan the SD card, the files are not what leads to the hack therefore banning people just because they have the files will lead to a lot of false positives. I highly doubt the risk would outweigh the benefit and Nintendo is already receiving creating enough bad publicity for themselves.

I have been banned. “Nintendo has restricted the use of online activities for this console” error.

I’m not 100% sure what happened. I bought the switch off eBay a few months ago. I’ve never actually fully understood the whole “clean my nand “ thing either.

I used JKSV and had friends use my loot island.
I used incognito on my emmu to play resident evil 5. Downloaded from tinfoil. Never on stock.

when I FIRST hacked my switch, I may have had the emmu online directly to Nintendo servers.. as the directions in birbs guide were unclear for me. I did use 90 DNS at first, then incognito.

I had assumed most of what I was doing was semi bannable, but not super ban

First off, there is no such thing as "semi-bannable". You are either risk for getting banned or not and using homebrew can get you banned. Secondly, if you fill out the form in the first post, we may be able to specifically find out what got you banned.

My emunand is using firmware 10.2 , but I updated the sysnand to the newest firmware 11.0.1. It’s important to mention that I’ve never went online using emunand and I also have incognito installed.
Whenever I wanna play online I just turn off the console first and remove the SD card, then turn it back on without the SD.

Then if I want to play nsps I turn it off and then put the SD back in, enable rcm mode and launch the exploit.

I haven’t been banned yet, but I wonder if I can get banned due to the newest firmware telemetry. Would that be possible?

 

[OnyXxX]

Hi guys.. what it means by "leave traces" on sysnand? If I never install any of nsp but I boot CFW into my sysnand will it be have any "traces"?

Well no but its also pointless for you to remove the SD card. There are a plethora of reasons Nintendo cannot ban you just for files on your SD card such as legality issues or false positives.

Booting any sort of CFW or homebrew leaves traces that Nintendo can track and ban your console.

I have homebrew crashed when I boot CFW on emunand (SX installer).. it crashed until I have to hard restart my console.. is the crash log still will be detected on OFW?

OFW and CFW are just modes. If you mean if it will show up on sysMMC, then no because emuMMC and sysMMC are separated.

Was your console brand new or preowned? Bans aren't instant so it could be that the previous owner did something, then Nintendo banned a few months later.

I restored my sysnand yesterday morning to stock fw which was way back at 5.1.

Installed some games andplayed online all day yesterday. Woke up this morning and Im banned. I used 90dns and incognito 100%.

I guess when I upgraded my FW to 11.1 from nintendo yesterday they must have noticed something was off.

If I could have a moment of your time, I'd would love it if you could fill out the form in the first post. This will help not only yourself but the rest of us understand how you got banned.

 

[wbsddgg]

I really (really) think that anyone who's used layeredfs/TX OS are eventually going to get a ban.

why?

pourquoi ca?

Can you update firmware thru OFW normally once you've been banned?

Only CDN bans limit firmware updates but since Nintendo has stopped distributing CDN bans and actually some users had their CDN bans converted to normal bans, it is normal to still be able to update your firmware once you've been banned.

Can you get banned playing monster hunter demo with local multiplayer? Is it different than regular online or the same thing?

I don't think so but wait for confirmation.
