I'm assuming it's still not safe to hack a switch without getting banned yet, but I thought I might as well ask. I only wanted to use it for homebrew and I was wondering if that made a difference. Like, if you don't pirate anything are you safe?
Can you link to guide that shows how to do this?Just make an emuMMC and there's no risk
This is a pretty decent guide for first-time homebrew setup - https://switch.homebrew.guide/Can you link to guide that shows how to do this?
Ok, thanks for the help!This is a pretty decent guide for first-time homebrew setup - https://switch.homebrew.guide/
As for emuMMC, once you've got Hekate and Atmosphere set up, there's a giant button on the Hekate boot menu labelled "emuMMC", and it's very straightforward. Just make sure you've got ~32GB unallocated on your microSD card for optimal results.
hello, Im still new, so i have a question for this. with it back up would you be able to "unban" with a restore ? is that the point of it ? i have a back up already but just didn't quite understand the reason.This is a pretty decent guide for first-time homebrew setup - https://switch.homebrew.guide/

It’s impossible to unban yourselfhello, Im still new, so i have a question for this. with it back up would you be able to "unban" with a restore ? is that the point of it ? i have a back up already but just didn't quite understand the reason.
got it. thanksIt’s impossible to unban yourself
the backup is vital in case you somehow brick your switch it will always allow you to repair it
Nice to read this! But did you use online with your emuMMC? thanks!I've had homebrew on my launch-model Switch (with emuMMC) for years now, and still haven't been banned, so...that's my experience, anyway.
Ive had a launch model switch without emmc(never even used emunand) and it hasn’t been banned eitherNice to read this! But did you use online with your emuMMC? thanks!
Just make an emuMMC and there's no risk
There is if you don't do it right. An Emunand is just a copy of Sysnand - still need to incognito/90dns it.
But at this rate, why bother hacking your Switch? Just for save backups?just don’t pirate and install stupid shit. Always use homebrew through app redirection so they only see you entering/playing normal games and only use basic homebrew(like save backups)
Emulation, Android/Lakka/Linux, Homebrew ports (like gzdoom/quakespasm/gta/half-life etc.), overclocking, sys-modules, the list goes on...But at this rate, why bother hacking your Switch? Just for save backups?
I have an FTP server watching my switch for new/updated save files and automatically backs them up to one drive for meBut at this rate, why bother hacking your Switch? Just for save backups?
This too there is more to homebrew than just piracyEmulation, Android/Lakka/Linux, Homebrew ports (like gzdoom/quakespasm/gta/half-life etc.), overclocking, sys-modules, the list goes on...
