I've changed my villagers, unlocked all of the emotions, got some DIY recipes cards for golden tools, edited my turnip prices to 435, etc. And yet there's still no ban for me but I'm low-key getting kinda worried.
Just refer to this, it's still too early to see if anyone is getting banned yet since a flag doesn't mean you're banned right away:

Do not use Edizon or the like on your sysnand for legit play with this game. It's an easy way to get banned. If you do want to use cheats, either inject a save or transfer items from one device to another. Injecting should not result in a ban. Easiest method I would say right now is using the ACNH editor that came out. It works in the same way as PKhex does and people injecting saves after editing Sw/Sh have not been banned.
That seems reasonable. it's just that you hear a lot of contrasting statements or "word of mouth comments" that editing or injecting items will usually result in a ban. Obviously, there are also outliers with, individuals just injecting saves on synand cfw and then jumping back to their regular sysnand, and going online.
Yeah I made that post some time ago. Things have changed somewhat since then. Not all Edizon cheats are bad, then it wasn't clear which were hash edits and which weren't, now we know. I don't know the list of what is ok and what isn't but I know it's somewhere in the reverse engineering thread. That said, as far as I know, anyone using cheats online hasn't been banned yet, even people I'm fairly sure knew they were using hash edits. And these are the people who have been doing solely AC hacks. Other bans I've heard about, said people had been doing other things with their console which is probably what triggered it. Does that mean they aren't issuing wave bans? Who knows. In the end you never really know for sure, hacking is always about calculated risk. But I'd say based on what we know, injecting only through JKSV, as long as the hash check in NHSE comes out fine (and it usually does), the risk is low.
Actually, we don't know if it is more risky than the rest , like editing save.
I can say that:
I used the save editor to move MANY buildings, edit the layout of my map, and change some villagers too.
I did that 1 month ago now, and i'm not ban
I did have put some edit item on floor via save editing, even have some building with fence where its normaly impossible in game, and not ban
If anything change , be sure i'll post it in this thread
Yes, I usually put my switch to airplane mode when going into CFW to backup/restore the savefile and then testing it to see if it works and if it does, I reboot it into it's stock firmware and then go online.When you guys are talking about editing saves, are you going online with the edited save??
That seems risky af, wasn't it datamined that edited saves gets flagged and detected by Nintendo servers when they go online?
Bans aren't instant so you'll have to wait until people start getting banned. I've heard from multiple sources that ACNH has a way to check your save file when you go online. It's safe to play a modified save file offline though.
Have you tried using JKSV to save/load before going online? My hacked Switch isn't banned atm but emunand is strictly offline only - kinda scared to risk it lol!
Guess it wasn't an official source but this post + Ninji's comment in discord about hacked local game telemetry makes me think Nintendo has a way of knowing
I extract and inject with jksv yes.
I've never read anywhere about Nintendo tracking save modification in ACNH, beside reading people who try to scare others about it.
I'm still using the same save, and i go online with, even After the many editing i've stated in my previous post.
What can be monitor by the game is runing a cheat engine while accessing online.
Everything else is just scary rumors spread by people who try to scare you
It passed and so far nothing, and just to be on the safe side, I'm probably not gonna save edit for quite awhile now.server maintenance in 23 mins I wonder if it breaks anything or ban wave incoming?
