I don't know about the sigpatches themself but if you have non legit app or games on the home menu on your sysnand it's probably a big ban risk yes

you should keep your sysnand clean and do the dirty on your emunand offline with incognito + airplane
Well that's the plan. Still gonna run syscfw to update for fuses though which is why I asked.

If I play online from CFW emuMMC with blanked serial and get banned, will my untouched sysMMC still work online? If official sysMMC get banned, restoring a mmc backup will always fix everything?

I accidentally went online in ACNH on Atmosphere, but only for less than three minutes. Have not been banned yet. Does anyone think I will get banned? Also, I have no pirated games installed.

If you don't have a serial number, how do you plan on playing online...

Telemetry is transmitted in less than a second so at the very least, Nintendo knows you have a hacked console. Whether you will get banned or not is up to them, not us. No one here can give you a definitive answer but just know that you have flagged your own console and there is really nothing you can do at this point since bans are conducted server-side.

SysCfw ? Why not stock ? Fuses are important for you ? I mean, if you are using syscfw online it's an other risk of ban

even if apparently you can run syscfw without problem but i'm not risking myself into this so I don't really know

We'll, just went into OFW, and was able to connect to the internet without any issues or errors. Is that a good sign?

Ok Im new at this I didn't know that you can't go online without serial.

If the ban is at the server side it means that even booting or restoring the OFW sysMMC won't un-Ban the console?

If it was so simple to unban yourself, why would anyone get worried about being banned in the first place?

I don't disagree but I can't understand whats the point to keep a sysMMC backup If you are on emuMMC? Maybe its for another purpose in case you mess up the system only? Seems like another youtube myth is busted...

Blocking everything with 90DNS, blacking serial and pray is all you can do... Am I missing something? Is it still possible for N to know that you hacked your console?

That is precisely why you keep an eMMC backup. Surely you must boot into sysMMC once every now and then? Everyone else who uses emuMMC still use sysMMC so there is nothing wrong with having a backup. Have you also not seen the users who suffered irrecoverable bricks who didn't have an eMMC backup?

Also blocking Nintendo at this point is useless because since you already went online, Nintendo already knows your console is hacked so you can no longer hide that fact. The only thing left for you to do is to wait and hope you do not get banned. If you stay offline, you are merely going to be banning yourself which is arguably worse than being banned.

I've never played online from any CFW. Maybe it went online for some minutes until I enter in airplane mode or delete WiFI but never started a game software while I was connected online and I don't need to.I hope N doesnt know... I'll check more posts about bans in this topic.

You don't need to play have online nor started any games in CFW to still risk being banned. All that matters is that you connected online to Nintendo's servers with a hacked console. That alone is a bannable offense according to Nintendo which is a fact. This is not called the Nintendo Switch Banning Hub for show; any other info you may come across will merely be opinions. The fact of the matter is that you are permanently flagged and there is nothing more you can do about it outside of learning from your mistake.

Its been over a year that I'm running CFW first it was sxos in version 9 of firmware and stealth mode was on. SXOS emuMMC stopped working after updating to ofw to 11, I've been running it about 3 months, and now on atmosphere I accidentally started OFW under atmosphere, and thankfully there is no ban until now, I hope that I can transfer the save files to a new switch in case of ban from the switch menu, if I can do this then I don't have a problem.


Edit: Also the first atmosphere build I've run was supporting hosts configuration and it already had by default:
Code:
# Nintendo telemetry servers
127.0.0.1 receive-%.dg.srv.nintendo.net receive-%.er.srv.nintendo.net
I hope thats good news for me...

Also I'm trying to insert 90 DNS in this, I can't tell if it is already included in the atmosphere, also I know its not going to save me now but maybe it is a good way to follow in the future.

I believe the NS discussions compared to Wii U are not that organised it is difficult to find a complete guide in the pinned topics. If you agree with this and if I can do anything for it Im happy to help.

For reference since youtube guides for emuMMC didn't make sense I've ended up using this guide found online which I used and it working (on some steps only you need to figure out yourself what to do its about 95%+ ok ): https://birbchirp.gitbook.io/switchguide/

After this I found this on a random post(not on a pinned topic as it should be): https://switch.homebrew.guide/ but in my opinion its a bit outdated or wrong (I don't remember exactly where)

I respect the work that is done here actually I appreciate it too much and as I said I'm willing to help If I can do anything to help, organizing thepinned topics need some work I think...

There are so excellent topics but its hard to find for some of us

Hello guys, I just finished reading the nice NH Switch Guide but at the very end, instead of pushing the 'Atmosphere FSS0 EmuMMC' button on Hekate, I pushed the one next to it, launching Atmosphere FSS0 SYS. Knowing that the Switch is a telemetry monster, and that I didn't connect it to internet since i began the tutorial, my question is: How screwed I am? Can I hope reconnect my switch to internet in any ways, to play online?

Quick question. I accidentally kept my my wired cable in my dock. After getting home from my girlfriend. I put my SXOS emunand loaded Switch back in and powered it on. I went in the menu and saw it was connected to my wired connection. I quickly pulled it out. I saw no new Nintendo updates. Loaded OFW nand and everything looks OK.

My questions are:
  1. Is no new news in the newschannel a good indication it wasn't online/connected with Nintendo Servers?
  2. Has SXOS stil has a good built in protection for not connecting to Nintendo Servers? https://gbatemp.net/threads/team-xecuter-announces-sx-os-v1-6-with-stealth-mode-and-more.516197/
  3. Is there a big chance that Nintendo now would ban me?

  1. News isn't a good indicator of anything as I've even heard people getting news updates without going online or even being banned
  2. Its only "built-in" if it was already running prior to connecting online which is hard to verify especially because I don't think its enabled by default by the CFW
  3. Nobody can say whether you have a big or small chance of Nintendo banning you. While it is possible you can get banned as soon as tomorrow, you may also never get banned. Understand though that there is no point worrying about being banned because it is impossible to tell if you are truly at risk or not

Stealth Mode is Enabled at boot up. So maybe there should be no worries. The no new news, should be an indication connection with Nintendo wasn't there. But then again, you never know. For now I think I am fine, but let's hope it stays fine.
