How would I go to clean/reset the log file on a Switch that did "bad things" like NSP installation, CFW/homebrew usage and so on, when it never was online so it should be good to go online then?

If you're looking to clear your logs in order to clean your NAND to go online, it won't work. You WILL get banned. That's why you were meant to make a pre-modded NAND backup.

No, it's already mentioned that there are ways (at least some long ChoiDujour tutorial which was meant for downgrading originally but I can't find that any longer).

Once you hack your switch you leave traces of such activity in it. As of yet there's no means of clearing said data from your console, hence resulting in a possible ban thereof, if the console connects to the internet.
Your only solution would be to restore a NAND backup made prior to hacking and tampering with the console.Good to see that you haven't yet connected your console online and I would advise you not to do so without taking some safety precautions namely using Incognito or 90DNS (though I'd highly suggest you to use Incognito)
In case you wish to play online you can set up idn_mitm LAN play thereafter.

    Illinois is working to ban toxic food additives that have been banned for decades in other countries; additives that can be replaced and all those countries still have Skittles and Mountain Dew. Title of the piece: GUBMINT WANTS TO TAKE AWAY YOUR CANDY

    Gee, I wonder if the author is biased?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Veho, Sounds and smells like bullshit. They don't give you cancer, and California should know that. I don't get why they stick labels that say "may or may not cause reproductive harm or cancer".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Arsenic doesn't give you cancer either.

    Mame should be two sets one for preservation of everything and one set for people who just want to play and enjoy the old old ganes

    @Psionic Roshambo, There's a lot of obscure Japanese arcade titles that are either lost to time or dumped.

    It's so unfair, maybe AI can save us lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean if a company could use AI to do the work of a home conversion for essentially free why not? The rights for some games are completely lost though
