What would be the optimal way to play online then?
Thanks

Like he said above, especially "Perform any and all hacking offline with the Wi-Fi settings deleted and Airplane Mode to prevent accidental connection to Nintendo Hotspots (think 3DS Spotpass)"

The ban is low risk if you boot into Atmos to use Checkpoint to backup and restore the saves, also you can edit the save for single player, but you must test the save in Atmos to ensure that they don't crash your game, so error logs will goes to SD and it won't sent to Nintendo. If you want to play online so you have to play with clean save, also remove CFW content on SD card before you go online. It will be likely safe until Nintendo update to 6.3 or later so you have to wait until Atmos are fixed.

Above is likely safe until next firmware update.

FWIW, the wiki says "The system will not automatically connect to these hotspots. The user must select the hotspot from System Settings -> Internet Settings, the AP is listed with a special icon. Once selected the system will handle any required configuration, including network passphrase."

Is there any sx os (sd)emunand ban confirmed?

And at this current versión it's safe to play online in ofw with the cfw offline on the emunand, or it's another ban wave posible? thanks

Nope, no SX OS EmuNAND bans so far so it must be working. Meaning its ok to play online in SysNAND and offline in EmuNAND.

Additional Comments

I have been using sx dongle and sxos pretty much since it came out. I only do XCIs and stay in airplane mode with wifi settings deleted. The only homebrew i've used is hekate to dump my keys and nand. I have converted a few NSPs to XCI, never received any errors or crashes on my switch. About three months ago while on 5.1 i connected to the eshop to dl a game. fast forward to now, i needed a sys update to play a new game. I updated in official firmware to 6.1, was able to access eshop. I did not restore my nand prior to updating. back to airplane mode and sxos

would like to report an update. i updated to 6.2 via ofw and was still able to access the eshop afterwards, no nand restore. nothing has changed in terms of how i use my switch. airplane mode and XCIs only, the only new thing i did was download the smash bros unlock save file and install with checkpoint.

So you are banned for just using xcis? Did you try using emunand?

Just want to make sure I’m correct on this one, my friend wants to update his 4.1, he never modified it in anyway yet, I just want to confirm if he backs up his switch using hekate that does not modify the switch in anyway, so he can’t get banned from online play. I’m assuming at this point as long as he stays offline, he can use choidujour to update to 6.2. Is the use of choidujour actually detected or Homebrew use for that matter. Even though using any cfw is a risk, I would think using atmosphere might be the better choice. I don’t think anyone ever got banned using atmosphere, especially for a few minutes.

Is there a way to check if your account is banned? My switch is banned, but I have a new Switch that I'm planning on putting my account on (since I own a lot of eshop games).

Its safer to use ChoiDujour over ChoiDujourNX since the former relies on RCM while the latter uses CFW/homebrew. RCM is virtually undetectable since it is triggered before the NAND but CFW/homebrew are loaded while the NAND is running making it slightly riskier. Same applies to Hekate; it is loaded exclusively in RCM so Nintendo shouldn't be able to detect it.

You would try logging into your account on their website. Also if you could fill out a ban report form, that'd be great.

So if I can log in on the website I'm good? I can see my past purchases and stuff on mynintendo. It wont let me buy a game right now, but when I google the error it just says it's because my account isn't linked to a switch.

It has been forever since I got banned. I did pretty much everything that could get you banned though so I'm not sure a report would add anything useful. I used devmenu, cleared logs, used bad versions of layeredfs etc. etc. etc.

i understand when you use a CFW (sx os in my case) there is always a ban risk.

If on an Emunand, is there an increased ban risk for:

1) Updating XCI files using a NSP update file
2) Adding an NSP file to the emunand?

To clarify, I know there is already a risk when you use CFW to run backup xci's.. just wondering if these two points increase the risk when using an emunand or it's probably just the same...?

thanks!

I recommend updating manually games by merging the update into the XCI file... Offline. Avoiding unnecessary request to Nitendo servers, that will help you a lot to avoid bans.

Until nintendo start scanning our microsds it will be safe I think,lets see if someone get banned with emunand offline -ofw and online

Edit: I forgot we need to know if the emunand is a entire emunand that is not using anything from ofw just in case
