Hey everyone! I have two switches; one clean untouched switch I use to play online, and one I use for hacking.

Could I use the island transfer tool to transfer my save island from Clean > Hacked >Clean and not get banned? The transfer woud be done locally and all I would use it NHSE to give myself all recipes/bells/change villies?

Thank you!

I've done something very similar:

I had a hacked file on one switch, edited it heavily to my liking and transferred it to my legit switch. Then at once point I had transferred it back to edit some more Nook Miles Achievements and sent it back over. So far, no ban or issues.

I used to go online on my CFW switch a lot when ACNH was first released and traded items around. People say there's always ban risks, and I agree. Just don't go too nuts I suppose.

EDIT: Also my own personal tip is to try and remain offline as much as possible if you intend to play on your CFW switch. I owned a legit copy so I think that makes it safer but anytime I was offline I would go into airplane mode. So far so good.

Thanks for the response! My CFW switch is already banned since we weren't going to use any online functions. The one that is untouched is the Animal Crossing Edition; one that contains a clean save file. I do anything using local connections

I was wondering if you achieved your method by using the island trasnfer tool? I would use JKSV but I don't want to go thru all the hassle of touching my clean switch. Is this possible to do with the island transfer tool and not likely get a ban? Thanks again

Is this working with a banned console ? Transfert the save in my banned switch to my non hacked one ?

Without being able to go online (by being banned) I believe there's no way to transfer a hacked save from a banned switch to another one without another hacked switch (which is what ive done before. I have 3 hacked switches, one being banned and a switch lite)

Sorry for the mad late reply, don't get on the forum much ^^;;
So with the hacked switch, legit switch, island transfer tool and such I did the procedure like it was too normal switches. I think you can only import a save via JKSV if both switches are brewed up. I personally took the risk of doing the transfer tool from my hacked save to a legit switch, ensuring I had copies of the game on both. So far no bans and I play semi-frequently. Sometime I even visit my legit town with my new, hacked town and drop items off when needed.

Hope this helps!

may i ask hows that been going for you? did you ever transfer? i was able to transfer mine back to back with no issues, i only did it about twice however after picking it back up after about 6 months the transfer tool doesnt work. it basically doesnt recognize each other and wondering if you had the same issue.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
