    Hacking Nintendo Switch Banning Hub & Warning

    Do we know if anyone has been 100% offline, restored a clean NAND, gone online and still got a ban? I'm interested.

    Hacking Question about updating firmware from game cart

    At the time I didn't have any XCI files but I did have a friend's copy of Mario Aces Tennis which I knew came with 4.1.0

    Hacking Question Can installing exfat driver without system update make me banned?

    Chances are Nintendo are keeping tabs on who has contacted their servers and legitimately obtained the update, this will be how they pay MS for the license. Whether they use that information for banning purposes is an unknown at this point.

    Hacking Question about updating firmware from game cart

    I updated my Switch from 4.0.1 to 4.1.0 offline using a game cart and it works fine. IMO this is the easiest method as once you've confirmed the cart has the right update you just press a couple of buttons

    Hacking Xecuter SX Pro intial setup

    I would seriously consider sticking with stock FW for now as there is a chance you may ban the console. Nintendo are getting pretty tough with bans now and your kids probably won't thank you when they can't play online anymore. Some people are having more luck than others in avoiding bans but I...

    Hacking Can Hekate access exfat on its own?

    It can yes, for example when you perform a NAND backup using an exFAT formatted card it is able to dump a full backup regardless of whether you have the Horizon update.

    Hacking Switch blue screen

    Can you launch payloads like Hekate for example? If so and you have a NAND backup you probably get it working unless it's a hardware issue.

    Hacking Discussion Do you still Pirate Switch Games knowing Using Online Features = Ban?

    I bought a second Switch to be able to choose both online & Homebrew and haven't touch my "legit" switch in ages! The only reason I'm keeping it is for Pokemon and Smash but when N start charging next month it will be hard to justify paying for it.

    Hacking Switch blue screen

    The Switch displays a panic code (Colour) when it detects an issue. Depending on the shade of blue this could be a few different errors but you can check them out on http://switchbrew.org/index.php?title=Panic_codes

    Hacking Question Do I have a corrected unit?

    The only way to really know if your device works is by sending a payload. If the Switch won't accept the payload then you're most likely using a patched unit.

    Hacking Discussion NPS dumps is already possible?

    People have been using CDNSP to obtain games directly from Non for a while now. This is illegal as it essentially decrypts the NSP file and Sig patches enable installation on CFW.

    Hacking Is SX OS Pro "better" or the same as ReinX?

    Yes, the exploit requires tethered execution by means of injecting the payload from either a computer/phone/SX Dongle ect .xci is the main difference with SX Pro as it's the only way of loading them. This will no doubt change eventually.

    Hacking [No longer maintained] RajNX - starter pack for Nintendo Switch

    Call it a repack or a CFW... I just want to say thanks for the convenience! :grog:

    Hacking Is SX OS Pro "better" or the same as ReinX?

    If we're talking about the SX Pro then the main advantages are .xci support and the dongle which makes it a portable solution. You can get around the portable aspect by using NX Loader but .xci loading is yet to be supported by anyone else.

    Hacking Question Patched unit, what now?

    I would be returning it and looking elsewhere.
