Hello,

So I am relatively new with CFW for the Switch and I have a question or two in regards to connecting to the internet on my Switch. Current have Atmosphere CFW installed on my system with emuMMC setup (FW 8.1.0) and I wanted to connect to the internet to use some of the homebrew apps that require me to connect to the internet. I read this guide (click here) and I plan to use that method so my system would not connect to the Nintendo servers.

So my question is:

1. By doing 90DNS, will this stop me from receiving update nags (I have not received the update nag yet on my system)?

2. Aside from 90DNS, I assume people got banned due to having pirated games. Is this true if I turn on the game and connect to the online servers with the pirated game or does it work differently that I can get banned just by having a pirated game in my library of games?

3. When I had set up emuMMC, I had realized that my user is linked to my Nintendo account. Does this increase the chances of getting banned?

I want to be sure with my actions and I don't want to regret my actions (and I apologize for posting quite a bit for tedious questions that could be answered online but I would like to take my chances and ask users directly for answers.)

1) Yes.
2) Don't install pirated games and go online. You will be banned sooner or later. Don't even think about it.
3) If your emuMMC is offline, you won't have problems. But you could also format your emuMMC to unlink.

Thanks for the reply. So I can assume, as an example if I have installed a pirated game, just leaving the wifi on with 90DNS setup, and not even turning on said pirated game can "possibly" get me banned?

If you have 90DNS enabled, you should be fine. It blocks all nintendo servers. But why don't go completely offline instead?

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
