Still have 3 pre-patched consoles without bans:
Also it's without saying, don't be a muppet & attempt to play online with any non-legit games etc.
- All have ran SXOS, most using a hidden-partitioned, emuMMC setup
- Mostly have kept them offline or have Nintys servers blocked when connected to network
- Seldomly ever install NSPs, wrap as much as possible up into custom SuperXCIs & mount/launch
- Updates 'mostly' performed from clean-Horizan

Hey, sorry if a noob questions but SupeeXCIs? I know what an XCI is but super?
Also I currently only install nsps as I find these are more what is available online, am I allowed to as your source for XCIs?

What was you doing, setup wise when you got the ban?

I was updating games I hadn't purchased using the system.
Totally owning it was my own fault.
It was initially a total ban of everything, but they started allowing me to update FW directly
Back when layeredfs piracy was a thing my first switch got banned after a day or two. Now my 2nd switch is on clean emummc, uses homebrews, and I'm playing with legitly bought digital games. This one isn't banned (yet (hope it wouldn't)).

Funny this poll came up.
I was just banned yesterday on my switch. Only legit cartridges for games, never did anything illegal. I do have a trinket installed though with SXOS and Kosmos.
Not a big deal to me as I don't play online anyway but I HAVE to use Tinfoil/hbg for games now so that's annoying.

Did you have sxos and kosmos installed via an emunand or on your sysnand? Trying to understand what caused the ban?
Does this mean your cartridges don't even work anymore with the ban?

Yes I was banned using atmosphere and sx os. Never went online with cfw activated, but I did install nsps.
I assume you installed nsps on your sysnand though rather than your emunand?

Sysnand. Never really cared about getting a ban but also didnt expect it since I only played legit games. Never played online and never installed NSPs.
My carts still work but I also bought a lot of ESHOP games which I can't download anymore so that's why(basically Nintendo forced me to be a pirate, I ain't buying a new switch lmao)
No, cause i haven't hacked my switch yet. IDK if you can still get banned for hacking your wii (which I have done)
- No one is chatting at the moment.

TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one
-
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files
) -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
