I didn't, no. However when I created the emuMMC it did still have my NSPs on STOCKOFW which I promptly uninstalled before going online. After that it's probably because I didn't perform any kind of clean up. However I can now confirm that the bonus 2181-4517 error code I've been seeing when trying to access the E-shop is a permanent ban. Just FYI.

 

They did on 3ds

 

I had the exact accident : I booted on eMMC with one NSP (only to launch homebrews), my Switch connected once to Wifi without 90DNS enabled, but I didn't launch any game.
2 months later, I got the error code 2181-4017 when updating a game, or connecting to eshop.

I feel bitter, as I own dozen of Switch games, I have paid for online, and I only use CFW for homebrew developement

 

It'd be nice to see this get updated with information about EmuMMC via Atmosphere. Now that it's been out for a while, it appears to be a valid way to keep a clean nand while using cfw.

 

It happened on one of my 3ds consoles, it lasted around 10 days. No inapropiate behaviur involved. Just gateway/rxtools involved.

 

Multiple people in this thread alone have tried contacting Nintendo but ended up with the same response; that their temporary ban is actually a permanent one. Combine that with the fact that Nintendo have updated their website to reflect these changes and I believe it is safe to assume temporary bans were temporarily implemented but are now permanent.

I would agree it is safe but the issue is emuMMC is not user-friendly to setup with Atmosphere.

If anyone has any recommended guides on setting up emuMMC, I will add it to the first post under "Best Way to Avoid Bans".

 

There is currently no way to unban as their cert is much stronger than the 3DS. But we don't know the future.

Merely running Kosmos with legitimate games (no NSPs) doesn't seem to guarantee ban. We haven't seen too many reports of people getting banned without modding saves or cheating online. Although running a version of atmosphere/kosmos incompatible with your firmware does seem to have triggered at least one ban.

 

I have been debating about clearing error logs to clean my sysnand after i bought a switch with cfw 2nd hand that didn#t have a nand backup, I read that clearing logs will cause a ban, however the Nintendo website says that factory reset will delete all information records such as error history https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Support/...-the-console-to-factory-settings-1200201.html

How is that different to clearing logs manually?

 

I followed this guide yesterday and it explained everything and was successful in setting up atmosphere on emummc on my first go as a newbie:

Hi I am very new to Nintendo Switch hacking. I was thinking about buying a switch and installing a CFW so that i would be able to install pirated games. But if I understand correctly there is NO WAY i can play these games online? Am i correct?
