Hacking Question Banning precautions

[bogdancss]

Hey folks. I got my switch the other week and got the IJW pack on a sdcard. All works perfectly. Got a bunch of NSPs installed and working nicely.

I've changed the DNS settings according to 90dns instructions on both the emmu partition and the stock one.

I just booted back to stock, as I want to play a game obline. But before I revoke the DNS settings, is there anything I should do before doing so?

Thanks and Merry Christmas!

As long as all your hackery was on emunand you should be good to go. What firmware is your sysnand?

Did you make a nand backup before launching the cfw or installed any pirated games? Because if you hacked sysnand your nand is dirty and you will have a risk of being banned even in stock since the nand is dirty

I'm not sure this is the right answer, but I am on 9.1.0. I did do the hacky stuff on the emunand partition only.

I followed the instructions on The nh-server website.

Then I used the IJW pack and copied that on my SDcard and changed the DNS settings on both the emunand and the stock settings, just to be sure I'm not getting banned.

That's pretty much it. Again, as mentioned, I installed a few NSPs but we I'm booted to the stock firmware, I cannot see any of them listed in the available games, just Mario Kart 8, for which I have the cartridge.

I still have not reverted the DNS settings, don't want to mess anything up.

I did make a nand backup, but I don't think I've done anything on the stock firmware (I followed the instructions on the nh-server website and then used the IJW pack to boot to atmosphere)

Edit- nvm I cant read apparently. As long as your sysnand has never booted cfw and you are only hacking on the emunand it should be fine to delete the dns and play online on stock.

Thank you guys.

Wait, did you say you installed a nsp on the sysnand or emunand?
