Is there any way to update games under SX OS? I have de-linked my nintendo account from the switch but considering nintendo have a hard stance on such things I am not particularly sure if updating under SX OS is safe.

Are people using backups under SX OS all playing them non-updated? or if you are updating them I'd appreciate advice on how.

I haven't done so. Don't even own a switch but I've seen a ton of threads related to this that you too can find with a quick forum search. Updating them is possible however this act may cause a ban. (There is quite a bit of evidence that the ban is related to the RCM exploit use) so in short it's just not safe to go online in any way if you want to avoid a ban but yes there are ways to update the games.

To add onto this, its theorized that using TX's AutoRCM (not briccmii) is what may be whats banning those users over others. There was another theory that those with the dongle and AutoRCM appear to be safer than those without.

If I unlink my Nintendo Account from my Switch can I still update my games in OFW, do you need an account to update games? I don't really care about getting banned. Also I purchased BotW DLC on my account using a legit cart before I started using SX OS, if I unlink the DLC should still work right?

You don't need a Nintendo account to download game updates. I think the DLC should still work since its already been verified that you purchased it but maybe someone else can correct me if I'm wrong.

This is the method I use to update games and I haven’t had any issues.

1) Select the game(s) you want to update from the sx os menu so it puts it on the main screen.

2) Turn off the switch then remove the sd card.

3) Boot into ofw.

4) Select the game you want to update and press + to update. Note: Update data will be installed on internal memory because the sd card is removed, thus saving precious sd card space. :)

5) Turn off the switch and insert the sd card.

6) Boot into cfw and select the game from the sx os menu and load it.

7) Enjoy playing the updated game.

That's how I'd think it would work. If I unlink my account now and my console gets banned in the future could the account it was linked to in the past get banned when the console gets banned?

Yea that's exactly how I was planning on doing it, just unlinking my account first. Just don't know if the console gets banned after I unlink the account can the account still get banned as it was tied to the console before.

    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
