Its basically a safer version of the title installer from DevMenu. Meaning the installed .NSP won't work unless you actually own them or you use SX OS V1.3. Meaning we would need another CFW with signature patching.
I own the zelda cartridge (with header/cert) so I assume dlc should be installable on sx os 1.3 right?

Correct, DLC shouldn't need the proper ticket to be launched (my memory is a bit hazy on this) so you can try and see what happens. All I know is that any title installed will not normally work.

So, second person to be banned for using their own backups. We can't even dump our games legally without Nintendo on our trail.

Also, can you really not access your purchases online? It's probably because there is no Nintendo of Australia (why not?) but you can navigate those info pages to see if there is a way to download new content to your now-banned Switch? Seems like a big oversight by Nintendo since other regions don't seem to have this issue.

I was a good little boy. I bought a whole bunch of Switch games and just dumped them to stop having to switch carts. I also use the GBA Emulator. FUCKIN' OOOF BANNED

Thanks for clarifying that you used a GBA emulator. Not sure why you didn't include that initially. I'm not saying that they're unsafe but maybe the emulator is what got you (pure speculation).

Looks like more possible evidence of TX OS itself being an underlying cause of the bans. Even with the GBAEmu.

Also, why did you even use TX OS for this? And if you're not attached to it, just dump your Switch and the TX on used and buy a new unit before everything is a patched unit, then just wait a while for a safe solution for your own dumps.

I blocked access to wlan in my router. Don't trust the airplane mode, it's their software they could try to deactivate for a second.
If you need to do something online, enable, do it, disable. I'm still not banned.

For sure they have some permanent internet detection going on. Try disabling acces in your router, then update software.
It will show you an error. But if you activate wlan in your router again, it will auto refresh ASAP and retry.

MAC blacklisted from my router, so it should be OK even if airplane mode fails.
 

Whole lotta love
