You are right. It CAN happen. But as long as you don't use any homebrew nsps, you're safe...i guess. Maybe because of this he was banned.CFW/homebrew CAN ban you
He said no to using any .NSP files so that wouldn't be possible.You are right. It CAN happen. But as long as you don't use any homebrew nsps, you're safe...i guess. Maybe because of this he was banned.
yes, your was warned TO NO USE MODS or CHEATS online.Well, I just got my console banned. Got the 2181 error today on my sysnand. Don't know why though, Could it be because I used mods online (visual mods, not gameplay altering ones)? Cuase I never installed any pirated content.
Well, crud. Guess it's offline EmuNAND and pirated content for meyes, your was warned TO NO USE MODS or CHEATS online.
There are a limited number of mods in a limited number of games that are safe to use, usually visual mods don't bring a ban so this is interesting. Would you mind listing specifically what you were using so others can avoid it in the future?Well, I just got my console banned. Got the 2181 error today on my sysnand.

I'm also very curious about which game(s) and mods were used for this ban to happen.There are a limited number of mods in a limited number of games that are safe to use, usually visual mods don't bring a ban so this is interesting.

Doesn't booting into CFW on emunand (ie. Atmosphere) remove your serial number? If so, then how can you get banned if Nintendo don't see the serial number of your Switch to ban it?I'd like to call attention to SquirrelKiev who was banned back in May and only used homebrew. The important part here is he is nowhere near the first and will most certainly not be the last. While bans for the most part have dramatically stopped occurring, mostly due to emuMMC, they can still occur regardless of what tools you use. And if you would like to respond with a rebuttal, please read all of the following bullet points before posting:
- This is NOT a statement that any usage of CFW/homebrew WILL ban you. As explained in the first post, any usage of CFW/homebrew CAN ban you. I am not here to argue statistical chances but only to bring light that it is a possibility
- Your own personal experiences or of those you know do not invalidate the experiences of others. Everyone is not treated the same by Nintendo
- Accusations of lying is not a valid argument. Without solid evidence to refute someone's statement, it is considered truthful. Taking into account both the Truth-default theory and Occam's Razor, the truth is the best conclusion to believe

Even if they ban your account, can't you create a new account and keep using the same Switch?
Sorry, but Occam's razor says those people simply don't realize what they did, but it was more than simply running homebrew. If running sysnand in cfw mode, any sysmodules you have setup for emummc, are still running in sysnand if you're in cfw mode. Tinfoil is homebrew, and not necessarily an .nsp, but it still installs itself to the home screen when you run it, and WILL ban you the next time you open the e-shop. incognito messes with your prodinfo. Opening OFW even once while incognito is active can trigger a log, since Atmosphere isn't intercepting the err reports.I'd like to call attention to SquirrelKiev who was banned back in May and only used homebrew.

AFAIK, you currently have to take additional steps to remove your serial number.
if you want to remove your console serial, YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO CONNECT TO NETWORK with out setting you DNS, using 90DNS and/or Atmosphère's DNSMiTM.What are those steps? From what I see using HATS package out of the box will do the DNS blocks in Atmosphere (hosts files) and the serial number is removed rom the Settings menu. Is that enough? That doesn't include Incognito.
If I install Incognito could I stil boot into sysnand OFW and play online (without any hacked/pirated games/cheats/etc)?

Once you setup DNS you can boot your (Emu)Nand.
Yes, that's how most people been doing it for years.My plan here is:
1) Boot into emunand CFW with pirated games along with DNS blocking and Incognito (I see that Atmosphere config can do this too, so incognito isn't really needed... but the result is the same PRODINFO is blocked/blanked). I also will be going online to use things like Tinfoil or Homebrew etc. I know I can't play online games or use the Nintendo eShop here.
I also want to be able to:
2) Boot into sysnand OFW with bought games. Get online to play online and use the eShop. I don't plan to do anything piratey on sysnand OFW.
Would this plan work? Is there anything I need to do to protect myself from a ban whilst online in emunand CFW?
Yes, that's how most people been doing it for years.
They only appear hear if they got banned. Imagine the vast majority that haven't beenExcept, you know... looking at the topic about all the bans, it's difficult to use "most" in this context.
