If you have a brand new cart, play it on an already banned system, then play it on a brand new Switch...no, your brand new Switch will NOT be banned.

Now that that's answered, I'll answer a couple other questions you may have.

If someone dumped the cart (including the unique certificate) AND went online at the same time as you did with the physical cart...it's possible (not likely, but possible) that Nintendo would issue a cert ban, and the cart would not be usable for online play anymore. It is also technically possible that Nintendo could ban either/both Switches, but the chances of that are so low as to be nonexistent.

If someone dumped the cart (including the unique certificate) and made it available for others to download, and it appeared to Nintendo that a lot of people were using the exact same physical cart at the same time...there will definitely be a cert ban (affecting the cart only, not a console). As for a console ban, I'd say the console using the actual physical cart would not be banned. There has been one unconfirmed report of this happening, but I think it was just FUD/trolling. If Nintendo were banning consoles ONLY because it went online with the same cart as another...we'd be hearing a LOT more about it.


no no i already knew all of that stuff, i appreciate it though, the reason i ask is because i wanna play smash as much as possible and i dont want my banned switch spoiling the fun aka getting my other switch banned.

I'm confused, what are you asking then? Because I thought my first answer, answered that.

Simply using a cartridge in a banned system does not cause an issue with using that cartridge in a different system. If you did something "nefarious" with the cartridge in a hacked console (whether it was banned or not is irrelevant), and then used it in a different system, there's a very remote possibility that it could cause issues on the other console.

Assuming you have no intention of dumping the cartridge, and are simply asking if inserting it into a banned console and then inserting into a clean console can somehow transfer the "infection"...this ain't sex, stop worrying.

Hello the world
Just an update of my situation
Still not banned, played in megaman11, dbz fighterz, nand restoration, eshop .
Watch the 5 seconds at the beginning of the video, you will see some games I have available on switch....

Don't I confirm here that the restoration of the nand has a risk of 0.01℅℅? Well, yeah, yeah.

Bug on my gpdxd chrome...wtf.
Explication?? Iknow...
Often chrome crashes my console, I switch to desktop browser mode, I watch videos on youtube without any problem, and this allows me to choose the resolution of the video, otherwise in tablet mode I do not have the option, the reverse of this choice? It's a random crash of chrome hard reeboot.wtf

I want to manually back up my saves and maybe edit some more money into MHGU and I'm on 6.0.1. Is it safe or is the risk too great to use checkpoint because I love online play in that game.

Editing the save of a game you play online sounds pretty risky to me although most bans related to modifying game saves involved Splatoon 2.

So how's atmosphere doing in terms of ban?
I'm not following the scene advances in a daily basis so can somebody answer a few questions?

1) Do you have to launch atmosphere everytime you turn on the console or it stays in CFW mode "forever"?
2) If that's the case, its ok to use internet while on Atmosphere or the warnings and recommendations are the same for the other payloads?

  1. Atmosphere is loaded the same way as other CFW such as ReiNX and SX OS; by using the tethered coldboot exploit known as Fusee Gelee. So the answer is it still needs to be reloaded every time the console is turned off.
  2. Same risks apply to using Atmosphere compared to other CFW. I mean Atmosphere was the first CFW of the scene all the way back in June when people were using it to load homebrew and LayeredFS so not much has changed since then

I also found myself banned on 6.0, but I also had it on sleep mode for over a week. To be fair, I also had ReiNX installed without knowing about putting it into airplane mode or whatever. Even then, I’m not sure if they actually detected it, because I was still able to at least update to 6.0.1.

Okay, after contacting Nintendo without giving away anything, I found out the hard way that they mean permanent ban (even though I was still able to update to 6.0.1). Looks like I've been caught red-handed for the above. I heard from the call how careful they were about choosing which people.

Nintendo no longer laughs like with the n3ds....
I have already said it, if the flaw did not come from the firm nvidia ( gpu), nintendo would not have any pirated console, and this even until 2020, nintendo learned from its past mistakes, the switch design and protection are solid, they even have the possibility to ban a single cartridge from your game library, and this is new
Confucius, never underestimate your opponent.
I'm still not banned, but nothing has been downloaded to the niintendo server, by 2 games (palladins and free fortnite) they are in my saved nand, and playable online without subscription, convenient when you restore the nand for tested, right?

Just checking in one final time to say I never got banned running the latest OFW and most recent SX OS at prsent day.
  • I ran .XCI, trimmed, and .NSP.
  • I never updated games in OFW and sourced the updates offline and installed them through SX OS.
  • Disabled sharing information on my N account on their site in August.
  • Never restored NAND when switching between CFW and OFW.
  • Played legit games online only in OFW and always had access to eShop to this day.
  • Remained in airplane mode for the majority of the time in CFW.
  • Didnt touch any hombrew apps or any other CFW.
If you want any more info just ask but I have traded in my console after a factory reset (it passed their so called testing) so jumping off the switch for now.

You don't need to edit your Zenny on MHGU btw. Just download the free item packs from the download menu and you'll have an easy 5mil from selling the Eggs. If you've hacked your Switch already I'd suggest that you restore a clean pre-hacked NAND before going online, assuming you've backed up the pre-hacked NAND which you should be doing before even attempting to run CFW

So... Draxz, how is the situation going with the bans? Still the same as before?

Is 6.01 more likely to ban an SX OS user? I have been doing the same as always, updating XCIs in OFW, playing them on CFW, no ban since 5.1, but i havnt updated.

Dont think i need to, but maybe i will for some games, definitely for Smash/Pokemon, so...

SX OS only bans have slowed down considerably but given that there have been a lot of homebrew bans since firmware 6.0, the amount of telemetry may have increased compared to lower firmwares. Outside from DevMenu, all hacks work fine on firmware 6.0 so you can update whenever you're ready.

Thanks! Any Homebrew? The only one i have ever used is checkpoint. Dump and restore.

So would you recommend me to stop using it for now?
