yeah, happened to me on the ps3. however, in that case, I bought another system instead. I don't sign in very much at all (especially now), since I don't know how they caught my first system.

Call/email and ask why you got banned

as far as I know, customer service doesn't have that information. they don't with the playstation at least. if it's anything like sony, they'll send the reason via email, but sometimes the reason is very broad.

Ok so I'm banned :(

Brand new switch I have since a week only :s
I NEVER installed/launched any pirate game or update or DLC on my SYSNAND.

The only thing I did recently was: booting into CFW SYSNAND (atmosphere) but for playing smash online (legit game I bought on eshop) no pirate DLC and using checkpoint (in airplane mode) to inject a save I had on emunand . I didn't modify the save, I just injected it from emunand to sysnand

I have an EmuMMC with no internet and in airplane mode. And I used incognito on emuMMC only

So I have proof now that Nintendo can detect CFW or HB or both

Carreful

I don't know why you're complaining. You used CFW, you ran unsigned code in your system, period. It doesn't matter what you did while in CFW.
You clearly didn't know what you were getting into. The proof you're talking about has been known since 2018. And you call these things stupid? Damn

I've injected saves of tens of games, including Splatoon 2, on a brand new Nintendo Switch. It has been over a year, and I'm not banned. That's not the complete reason, it's something else. It may be game specific. Games known to cause issues with save injections are Smash, Splatoon 2, and Pokemon. Save data injection is risky and is likely the culprit of the ban, but CFW usage alone doesn't get people banned, even on sysNAND. It depends on what you do with the custom firmware.


....also, is OP sure that Incognito wasn't accidentally used on sysNAND?

"Never go online in CFW mode"... every developer said that. special if you wanna play game online. never play with game had been using cheat code or save editor.

You needed to be fair and good -.-' (feel like I am a kid had been control by tiger mom)

Everyone missing the part i copied.

He admitted to playing smash while running atmos.

Think really thread should be deleted as the user has ignored the number one rule.

And has been a rule ever since consoles came online and had firmwares.

< has also run Smash online while using atmos since launch, and I'm not the only one as I know others who have done the same

Nothing in Atmosphere writes to the console. While doing this isn't the smartest thing to do, we still have no proof.

Going online with CFW might get you a ban. There's no "if you do this and don't do this". Seeings as you should expected to get banned it would be smart to create a throw-away account for online purposes. At least that way if you get an account ban you won't lose all of your purchases on your main account. How would you do this on a single Switch? You wouldn't. Use a clean Switch for OFW and a second hacked Switch for CFW. Can't afford another one? Then when you get banned it's your fault. No one else is forcing you to run CFW and it's been stated countless times that if you use CFW on your console and go online you could be banned. Hacking has risks. Don't cry when those catch up to you.

But its cfw its always a game of cat and mouse.

You ignore the risks and get banned, its your own choice.

Theirs no fail safe playing online.

Everyone knows the risks, just because some claim to be ok, doeant mean its going to be ok for others.

Like the saying goes, game of cat and mouse.

There's no need for a second console. That's what offline emuMMC is for.

the only thing I find irritating is the belief that, since you haven't been banned yet, you'll never be banned. some people seem to think that bans don't happen, because they haven't been banned yet. or that you had to be careless to get banned in the first place.

okay that's cute, but it doesn't change the fact that zero people have been banned for using cfw online before, which is why I'm going to be skeptical of this specific case

There's other factors that Nintendo could use to detect emuMMC. You should look into that before you make outlandish claims.

That's supposed to be sarcasm right?

Loads of people get banned, where are you hiding?

I get people bitching at my fb page for going online getting banned.

Such as? Feel free to give examples that aren't outlandish such as "scanning secondary partitions on your SD card"

Well, I would go into detail, but since you doubt Nintendo could simply mount the second partition and scan it for usage logs I rather not discuss something with someone that's in denial about their own claims.

Banned for just CFW, or being dumb and going online after pirating/cheating online/save editing/eShop fraud?

I never said it's impossible, so stop pretending like I did. I'm saying it's unlikely.
