Hacking Can a patched Switch be banned?

[Ondrashek06]

As you all know, a patched Switch makes hacking impossible, and hacking is the main reason for a Switch being banned.

So, are there any known instances of a banned Switch that is patched?

What?
You can hack any Switch, and because of that reason you can also get any Switch banned.
If you're asking if an unhacked Switch can get banned, then that's maybe a little harder to achieve.

Uhh... Patched switches cannot be hacked, and if you try to hack a patched switch, it permanently bricks.

All switches can be hacked, even the Lite. However iPatched Eristas(v1) and Mariko(v2) units, also Lites, need a modchip to boot CFW, unless they are running a very old FW version which would only apply to ipatched Eristas if I recall correctly. Currently, the only Modchips that can do it is SX Core and SX Lite, that is to say if you find one on the market.

First of all, why tf should I PAY to hack and only get banned?

Second, it's a shared Switch, the second I tamper with it, my brother will hate me for the rest of his life.

If it's a patched Switch and you don't want to install a modchip, you don't need to worry about getting banned. It's practically impossible.

So how do you want to do it? Spawn a modchip out of thin air?

I really ask myself sometimes if some people do have a brain.

Wtf? Lots of people don't give a crap about online and would happily install a mod chip. If you don't want to then that's fine, but it doesn't change the fact that your statements about patched switches being unhackable is verifiably incorrect.

Unpatched switches are super rare today and they are about $600 now, double the price of a patched one.

A modchip not only costs $100 extra, but it also needs a painful 2 hour setup, which also includes unscrewing the proprietary screws that Nintendo put in there ($8 extra proprietary screwdriver, either spend hours finding a hardware store where they sell proprietary screwdrivers or wait 5 days for delivery). Also, the chip is nowhere to be found. Where do I even buy it?

What's the point of your thread exactly?
If you don't modify your switch, nothing will happen, because all you can do on it is play games the legit way.

You clearly have lived under a rock for the last year or so. Neither of your statements are even remotely true. Please educate yourself before posting anything. It saves us a lot of headache.

$600 for an unpatched Switch? Just buy the tablet off of eBay. It's like $200 there.

Regardless, you aren't getting a softmod for patched Swtich anytime soon. If you want to mod it, hardmod is your only option.

I guess I'll just wait the year for a softmod

Bro why do you keep fighting people about patched switches? You asked a question, got answered, tried to argue that the answer given was wrong, and then argued against the notion of the correct answer existing.

 

[Esdeath]

Patched models can be hard modded, also why would Nintendo make another firmware just for patched switches?
The reason nintendo bans consoles is because in the OS there is a program part that is responsible for sending them data about your console.

Mate so much of what you said is so incredibly wrong.
Techically any switch can get banned, & yes patched switches are hackable, thats not new.
I also dont know how on earth your getting 600$ for unpatched either.
Unpatched switch tablets on Australian ebay can go for 250$-300 tablet only, and AUD is worth less than USD.
Also worth mentioning, patched switches FW 4.01 or below don’t require a modchip.
Finally hacking your switch doesn’t mean you will get banned, in fact if you have half a brain with the measures you take, you almost certainly won’t get banned.

Get a modchip then

No... If I cannot get it in a hardware store and not wait 20 days for shipping, spend $100 + $50 shipping on the actual chip, I won't do this.
