I don’t play backups on my OFW Sysnand, I only play them on my emuNAND that’s set up on the sd hidden partition. So yes if you used emuNAND for online which would have to come from a clean Sysnand then you wouldn’t want to use backups.And don't play pirated games in emunand one or on the emunand the that you use online.
Nsp's/xvi's should not be seen not heard by Nintendo
damn right sonI don’t play backups on my OFW Sysnand, I only play them on my emuNAND that’s set up on the sd hidden partition. So yes if you used emuNAND for online which would have to come from a clean Sysnand then you wouldn’t want to use backups.
Save date creation is a possibility they look for to ban people, so it's best just to not take any chances.
Although I have seen this method be used to not get banned...why wouldn’t you just use the easy method and use emuNAND, and NSP? It’s much simpler, less risky as you don’t have to pay much attention, and keeps your Sysnand completely clean.Most of these answers are wrong.
The correct answer: Yes, you can.
I play everything in CFW using Airplane Mode and stay offline in CFW at all times. (SX OS)
I also never try to open a pirated game in OFW, or launch homebrew in OFW.
I never update pirated games online. (CFW or OFW)
I only use XCI games to avoid pirated NSP games from being detected.
I create a fake offline profile to play my pirated games on, so my pirated save files aren't linked to my Nintendo Account.
And most important of all, if you're going to pirate a game and play it early, make sure you set your system clock/calendar to the game's launch day (or the day after to play it safe) so the save file gets created with that creation date, and not earlier. Save date creation is a possibility they look for to ban people, so it's best just to not take any chances.
Following all these rules I set for myself, I've never been banned since SX OS came out. I play Splatoon 2 competitively in Ranked Mode online daily in OFW.
who knows what goes on in the mind of an sx userAlthough I have seen this method be used to not get banned...why wouldn’t you just use the easy method and use emuNAND, and NSP? It’s much simpler, less risky as you don’t have to pay much attention, and keeps your Sysnand completely clean.
Its the same for me, I even play xci dumps including the cert from my games online in sxos, without any ban.If you don’t ever install any pirated games and only use legitimately bought games, you’d likely be fine. I play my legit games online all the time while using CFW. But nothing is guaranteed
wait how do I do that? emunand and sysnand are very confusing to meBasically you can play online with unmodded unaltered legit games. if you go online with altered-modded-pirated games you will get banned. only way to be safe-ish is to use emunand for offline modding etc , and sysnand for online play. or you can keep sysnand offline at the lowest firmware saving fuses and create 2 emunands one for online one for offline if youre not hurting for space on ure sd card
A video guide that explains what emunand is/does on a hacked switch could be more helpful than trying to read a bunch of text its alot to take in for newbies. But yeah Emunand pretty much answers this threadwait how do I do that? emunand and sysnand are very confusing to me
You can if you setup emunand to do all the hacking stuff on offline while on sysnand you can play online just fine. Its mainly newcomers who try to play online with pirated games or never heard of emunand that get banned.I really feel like this should be stickied on the main board ( it probably already is)
You can not i repeat CAN NOT go online with a hacked switch and not be banned.
I plan to download pirated games on the emunand will that affect the sysnand/my chance of getting banned if I don't go online?You can if you setup emunand to do all the hacking stuff on offline while on sysnand you can play online just fine.

no the purpose of emunand is to emulate or be a separate copy of your sysnand. Meaning everything you do on emunand stays in emunand vice/versa. Nothing on sysnand will change or be updated from what you install via emunand. That way you can play online safely since your nand wont be dirty with piracyI plan to download pirated games on the emunand will that affect the sysnand/my chance of getting banned if I don't go online?
yeah I plan to use 90DNS as soon as I get my switchno the purpose of emunand is to emulate or be a separate copy of your sysnand. Meaning everything you do on emunand stays in emunand vice/versa. Nothing on sysnand will change or be updated from what you install via emunand. That way you can play online safely since your nand wont be dirty with piracy
Also once you have emunand setup your gonna want incognito installed too so that you'll never "accidentally" connect to Nintendo Services while in emunand. SXOS users already have a built in safe mode that works the same way.
