I want to know which is the best way for going online when Sword-Shield releases. I've been using CFW for a year, I have a clean NAND backup in 4.1.0, and I have currently an EmuNAND and my sysNAND in 8.1.0.

I had planned to restore my clean NAND on my sysNAND (no burnt fuses) and update it for playing online, I would like to avoid burning fuses, but I don't care if I do because I'm fine with auto-RCM and as far as I know no one got a ban for this.

Do you recommend me doing this? Do you think emuNAND is safe enough for avoiding a ban (I have incognito on it and I don't use internet)? Thanks

Hacked offline (or Incognito patched) emuNAND and clean sysNAND is the best way. Keep in mind you cannot boot a 100% stock sysNAND with AutoRCM. The only way to do that is with a normal boot. So there is a small chance you could be detected.

Well, correct me if I'm wrong but no one got banned for booting with Hekate right? Because the only difference is that you use another bootloader, but for what I know Nintendo can not detect it (for now) because it's not part of HorizonOS, so it doesn't send logs or anything like that to Nintendo servers

Not that I know of, but that doesn't mean Nintendo can't add checks to detect it.

In theory nothing is 100% safe though. Because nintendo could technically add in a future update ways to detect the contents of your sd card(despite many obvious legal issues). The only things that nintendo really seems to flag are 1) piracy 2) layered fs/save editing/ online hacking. Many people have used atmosphere for over a year with just emulation and have yet to be banned and frequently go online. Not that I would risk it personally :P. Banning people for booting from rcm though would not be in nintendos best interests, I for example choose not to pirate games and use homebrew for retro emulation uses. Getting banned is probably the only thing would would lead me to xci/nsp downloads as I buy all digital. Nintendo would lose money.

That one is pretty easy to get around, just use two SD cards, one for legit and one for CFW :P

Do you own all the games you emulate? ;)

i own most but not all admitedly :P but none are still sold by the original manufacturers. I think the only places that would be miffed are retro game shops. However i like playing older games upscaled and on newer hardware so they are purchases I would never make at any rate.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Weed/Marijuana i would not consider as drugs personally. I'd have no problem if my kid came to me and said they smoked weed. Shit I'd ask what kind they got, and smoke with them. To me it's like smoking cigarettes. Actually I think Cigarettes are worse.
