ROM Hack Cloud backup ban

[Raven_501]

So, before my switch got banned I was able to upload my save data for one of my games that had been modded. Will my new switch be banned if I download that save?

Yes, I would think so. To be on the safe side - don't use modded saves, you're asking for trouble.

Hmmm... You could say you never hacked it! And that would be true!
EDIT: I use modded Splatoon 2 save online! What game is it specifically?

It is Xenoblade 2 but the thing is I don't know if the save is modded or not. It's a save from this site that I swapped with mine.

I uploaded all saves, including modded and other’s saves to cloud but not banned at all, but I only got banned from SSBU (in-game ban) for tamper with save.

Splatoon 2 and Pokémon Let’s Go cannot be uploaded to cloud at all.

I think that you can upload any saves without any issue but as for SSBU, if you want to use other’s save, so you must to do offline or play on your own, otherwise you could get in-game ban (2124-4027).

Wait, so you're saying it would be ok to retrieve my save and I won't get banned?

 

[Mythical]

It could go either way honestly. If the save isn't really anything special I would just leave it and play it safe

Yes, that what I’m saying.

Don’t upload SSBU save to cloud if tampered or modded, even if you have new console, so you have to start over.

All other games are fine to upload too.

hmm...does that mean you can still access switch's cloud service if banned?

No. It blocked all internet communications. I had uploaded my save before the switch got banned and now I have a new switch I can download that save but not on the old switch.

I would leave it but I'm almost finished and I really don't want to start again.

I mean its a toss up. If you don't know if its been tampered, then we certainly do not which makes it hard to asses the risk. Plus if its a save file multiple people use, that might set off of some warning flags if other people have went online with that save file and uploaded it to the cloud.

Basically there is a risk but its unknown but also it may not be that high. Weigh which one is more valuable; the time spent on your save or the online functionality of the console.

Fair point. Looks like I'm starting the game again
