I've wanted to know if there's any way to play super smash bros ultimate mods without a half baked answer. There's barely any good answer, post or a fully explained tutorial on which server I can use, or an alternative server at the most since I'm aware it's a bit dicey.
I know i should've been a bit more specific but it was like 12 in the morning. I was originally talking about just playing ssbu with mods online. I do have a emmc backup.

got a question about save cloud. if i hack a switch and download my cloud saves on a hacked switch and re-upload them would i get banned? the reason i'm asking is because i have some games that are only offline play and i would love to move those saves with a hacked switch.

Depends on what you're trying to do? Modifying saves and uploading them back to cloud is risky and your console will most likely get banned / flagged for ban.

I believe that you can download them from the cloud if your sysNAND is clean. After that, I believe that you can boot into Atmosphere on sysNAND and use JKSV to make a backup of those saves. I can't say for sure whether this is safe to do - it should be (I guess you're just reading from the NAND, not writing to it), but I'm not 100% sure, so wait for someone else to reply as well. After that, you can restore those saves on your emuNAND and continue where you've left of, if that's what you're trying to do?

Any usage of CFW/homebrew can get your console banned when you go online such as when you download your cloud saves. You can get banned but you could also not get banned as bans are distributed randomly. Determine which is worth more to you; access to online functionality or your cloud save data.

yes to no use a pre created package, read the guide and upgrade everything from the official repos, Mainly Atmosphère and Hekate.
Tried it again using a blank SD card and the guide at rentry.org. No difference.

You tried the config in the hekate_ipl? HATS use fss0 instead of fusee.bin
I used the following ipl config:
Code:
[config]
autoboot=0
autoboot_list=0
bootwait=3
backlight=100
autohosoff=0
autonogc=1
updater2p=0
bootprotect=0

[Atmosphere CFW]
payload=bootloader/payloads/fusee.bin
icon=bootloader/res/icon_payload.bmp
I can see the Atmosphere splash screen but after that nothing happened.

  • Followed the NSW Level 2 guide from sthetix, nothing, still black screen when try to boot from sysnand.
  • Trying to reboot into OFW from hekate reboot also gives black screen.
  • Did the emmc benchmark, everything looks okay. I also don't see anything weird on the HW & Fuses info screen:

Starting to run out of options.
I think I'm going to check the DAT0 soldering and ohm values tonight.

It's not the update per se IMO but due to a potential mismatch in records between your switch and ninty's end. Officially, the only way to update OFW is by contacting ninty's server and retrieving said update, thus leaving a record on their end. But if you use daybreak, there's no record of your switch ever contacting ninty's server to retrieve said update yet you somehow managed to get it updated. Whether ninty bans for that though is up for debate and the question is honestly a hard to answer one. You will get both yes and no answers if you look it up.

Bear in mind that not everyone who gets banned because of x/y/z will report it and even those that do, it's hard to say if it is actually that particular action that they think got them banned or another thing. Even for those who have yet to be banned, it's hard to say whether they have been tagged by ninty and due for a delayed ban (because ninty doesn't always ban immediately).
You can also update via cardridge which would be offline without any connection to nintendos servers, or via switch to switch transfer, so using daybrake should be safe. The update itself could only be a problem, if someone is suddenly on a lower firmware, and even that is not clear.
Mostly its general telemetry that suddenly changes when you restore, like playtimes, errors send to nintendo and so on, which can potentially lead to bans. The relevant telemtry also stays when you do a normal factory reset btw.

If you use it on a clean nand (no nsp or xci isntallation), that can normally connect online, its not a problem. I already did that in the past for someone that got his modded switch banned. Just boot into a clean atmoshpere on your online nand of the modded console, so best the default config that comes with atmosphere, without any weird all in one packages that might include signature patches and homewbrew that installs itself on the system that you could accidentally boot into.
Atmosphere is build to be used safely online with its shipped defaults.
I'm using my switch just in CFW for many years now, but I'm also not using any XCI or NSP backups or cheats.

Any usage of CFW/homebrew can get your console banned when you go online such as when you download your cloud saves. You can get banned but you could also not get banned as bans are distributed randomly. Determine which is worth more to you; access to online functionality or your cloud save data.
Its not realy CFW/homewbrew usage or random banning, its specific things done within CFW or payloads. Atmosphere is even targeting specifically being able to go online with its defaults, which is one of the reasons they are like they are.
Some problematic things are for example XCI/NSP installs of any kind (backup, pirated or homebrew), which will likely lead to a ban quickly.
Same for things negativelly affecting the online experience, like cheating and unsafe public romhacks while online or save game editing in the wrong games.
System restore can also lead to bans because of telemetry differences, through since atmosphere block some of it, it might be less of a problem with people not booting into stock, but about that I'm not sure, since I don't know the specifics about whats blocked and whats not blocked.
Atmospheres reswitched discord has a full list of things that are likely problematic.

Tried to revert my Switch to stock by removing the hwfly mod. After removing, the Switch doesn't seem to power on. Could the accidental bridge between these components be the issue?

BLACK or RED bridge is ok, but NOT BLUE.

Remove the blue solder joint bridging your 3.3v to ground.

No, people have been banned without touching any .XCI or .NSP files. The banning hub has a full list of things that are likely problematic. Its also not 1 or 2 people; its close to 100 the last time I checked. These aren't isolated incidents.
