You can do that. It won't be flagged as a ban

Running homebrew does not get you banned. Pirating games and cheating online do. Homebrew like EdiZon or JKSV don't leave trace. You've been stuck on this site to read all the countless stuff people wrote about how they got banned. If you don't know anything, best you do research besides just telling people running CFW and using simple homebrew would get you banned on sysnand
Thanks for letting me know

Using homebrew in sysnand will ban you. Definitely. All things in relation with homebrew can cause a ban. Forget what CrisFTW wrote. It's bullshit. That's the reason why emuMMC were implemented. The sysnand should be keep clean and emuMMC is for all your hackery stuff. There is a thing on the switch, called logs.
So how have I been running CFW online for two years and two months on sysmmc without getting banned then.

There's no ban for running homebrew. @BaamAlex is just an idiot and believes since everyone got banned for piracy, running homebrew would lead to getting banned

I've gotten countless private messages about this topic. I can't reply to every single message since it's just the same thing I tell everyone and some just give me that "But what if I get banned?". I don't take responsibility to anyone getting banned. I'm happy to play my hacked switch and being able to play online. Everyone takes a risk when it comes to hacking the switch. If you wanna risk trying to safely transfer a 200+ hour animal crossing save to another switch, then do that. I've done it and everything has been fine. It sucks that Nintendo don't allow system to system save transfer for the game due to the clock system for the game

Trying tegra rn but ill use zadig.




Thank You. I am most likely going to sell my games and buy a banned nintendo switch.
Have you managed to get the driver installed with Zadig? It should not be difficult. Try these steps:
1. Get your Switch into RCM mode and plug it into your Windows PC.
2. Download and run Zadig driver installer from https://zadig.akeo.ie/
3. From the device list, choose APX (if it's not showing up in the list, go to Options menu and check List All Devices)
4. For the driver type, cycle the arrows until you see libusbK (v3.0.7.0) in the text box (IMPORTANT!)
5. Click the big Install Driver button. Device manager should now show "APX" under libusbK USB Devices tree item.
Then you can inject any payload to test, You can use the fusee-test payload: https://github.com/noahc3/Homebrew-Guide/files/3890384/fusee-test.zip
I meant you can use tegrarcmgui to install the apx driver. It has an option for this.


Why?
I had problems with that and it turned out only 32-bit drivers appeared to be included with TegraRcmGui. Could not find any 64-bit driver files included with it.
You can do that. It won't be flagged as a ban

I would be careful with JKSV as anything that modifies NAND comes with an added risk and while it's unlikely to be detected by HOS, it's possible a modified save could be detected by the game itself, or by the game servers if the game has online functionality.
So how have I been running CFW online for two years and two months on sysmmc without getting banned then.
Just because Nintendo hasn't been actively banning people in 2 years doesn't mean you're not flagged for a ban and won't be banned the moment Nintendo sees fit to start handing out ban waves again. I see this argument all the time and people don't realize the fact that Nintendo stopped doing ban waves about 2 years ago.

@The Real Jdbye I'll take the risk of using JKSV and I'll you guys know if I get banned. So far it has passed several months since I started using it. I'm still able to play the game online

Switch hacking in its current form began in April/May 2018, and Nintendo was definitely actively banning pirates/cheaters back then.

Right, it has only been about 2 years. Well, I don't know exactly how long, but Nintendo definitely hasn't been actively banning people in quite a while now. They were handing out bans left and right early on and then went silent.

@shinwg it wasnt from a emunand to sysnand transfer. It wouldn't have matter since they can't detect saves from emuMMC or sysMMC apart. The saves are all identical

They slowed down significantly after people realized running pirated games and cheating online was a bad idea, and after creport was reimplemented in Atmosphere iirc.
The pre-creport reimplementation days were definitely... chaotic... heh, had to be extremely careful.
