You will likely be safe.

Nobody can say 100% that you won’t be banned because we are basically second-guessing Nintendo, but generally the only thing that people have been banned for so far is homebrew NSPs, piracy and cheating online.

There have been no confirmed bans for just using CFW (assuming you are using Atmosphere, don’t know about ReiNX) or system modules. This is based on over a year of monitoring what causes a ban.

keep in mind that my clean nand dump was corrupted when I set up emu so I just reset the system, that was a few months ago, so how much more risk do I have by over clocking?

If you have never installed an NSP, you are probably safe. Nobody has been banned from using sys-clk so I see no reason why Freebird would trigger a ban.

Nintendo mainly seem to care about ‘unofficial’ installed titles and cheating.

We can only really judge what causes a ban based on what we’ve observed. The developers of Retroarch, sys-clk, hekate etc. are all anti-piracy and none have been banned.

Who knows what Nintendo will do tomorrow, though.

    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol

    sometimes I wonder why anyone would ever buy mega man x legacy collection 2

    I always thought that capcom shuffled the games in these collection, but apparently they are all in chronological order, which makes legacy collection 2 worthless
