Feedback Help!! Banned switch console Questions

[sushi12]

Hi all, my console got banned from Nintendo recently not because I homebrewed it but I unknowingly downloaded digital copies from different users - I didn’t know this could get me banned and I’m really sorry about it (No wonder the digital copies was dirt cheap).

After a few days of panic and settling myself down, I just realised I am a person who doesn’t really play online except for downloading games through Eshop.. so I have collated some questions that I’d like to ask :

1) Can I still play on new game cartridges? Do I need to download anything when I inserted my new game cartridge? (Sorry it has been quite some time since I actually bought new games lol)

2) If yes for Q1. Does it work if I update my game cartridge through other people’s consoles?

3) Am I able to get system updates?

4) If I were to get a new switch, am I able to login my account to re-download my E shop games?

5) My version starts with XAK4 which I think it is a patched switch. So not knowing how to solder myself, what are the possibilities that in the near future I can homebrew this switch without the need of hard modding?

Appreciate all your feedback in this..thanks!

Hi, I'm so sorry to heard that your sweet console just got banned, but that doesn't mean it's the end, you can do a lot of stuff with your banned switch, but first let me answer your questions!

1) You can play cartridges on your banned Switch, you don't need to download anything, bc you got banned from big N servers (*)

2) Local Update with other consoles will don't work, why? bc both consoles requires Nintendo accounts online, so the banned one can't connect to internet... (*)

3) Nope and never (*)

Thanks to DocKlokMan for correcting what I said, apologies for the misinformation: https://gbatemp.net/threads/help-banned-switch-console-questions.633756

4)Yes! You can re-download your purchased games from the e-shop to another and fresh new one with your same Nintendo Account!

5) You can verify if your Switch can me modded in this link: https://damota.me/ssnc/checker/ I recommend you to try the RCM hack, with a paper clip, u know...

(*) Now, I recommend to you to install EmuMMC, with that you can:
- Install games updates online/offline
- Install System Updates online/offline
- Install games with a "free-shop" (Pirated and Homebrew games)
- You can install a modified YouTube version for banned consoles (You can take screenshots and take the 30 secs. videoclip!)
- You can use another gamepads from another consoles! It can be Xbox, Dualshock (Playstation), Generic ones, etc.


- You can install Retroarch (you can play a lot of classic games!)

- You can install game ports (Like Ocarina of Time 60 FPS https://gbatemp.net/threads/ocarina-of-time-switch-port-ship-of-harkinian)
- A lot of things you can do with your banned console!

I hope this answer your questions! Have a great day!

If they have the ability to buy a new switcn then they should also spend the couple bucks on a real jig instead of risking damage with a paperclip.

You can get system updates even if your banned

 

[DocKlokMan]

Ignore the first answer, lots of misinformation.

1. Yes, you can play carts just fine.
2. Yes, you can sync update data with other consoles just fine.
3. Yes, most banned consoles can still get system updates.
4. Yes, Nintendo rarely does account bans, just console bans.
5. Slim to none unfortunately. Sending your console to someone to install a PicoFly may be the best and most cost effective option.

Are you sure you're not account banned?

Usually when this happens, the digital games were bought with a fraudulent credit card. Scammer sells the digital code, gets real money.

Typically any sort of financial issue like this, Nintendo will ban the account, and not the Switch. (The account of the user who activated the game)..
