If I connect to Pokémon Home and deposit a bunch of legit Pokémon holding these Masterballs and then use my clean Switch to retrieve them that system’s save file, could the Masterballs cause a ban on the clean Switch?

I don't think Pokemon Home can even transfer items. When you move a Pokemon from Sword/Shield to Home, its held item is placed in your bag as it transfers.

Idk if ill get banned when i unhack my switch since i dont have a NAND backup but i want to go back to OFW to play online, I updated using Choi to the latest update for the switch from like version 8.1.0 and since then i have to use NO_GC = 0 patch on atmosphere, If i do remove all CFW and any traces of CFW (using that homebrew app) would i still be able to use my carts since my game cart fuse is burnt?

If its been burnt, that means its been updated for later firmware versions.

Nogc prevents you from using cartridges. I think you're confused on how it works and whether or not its enabled.

I think i am lol.
Okay so i have the No_Gc = 0 line on my ini if i remove atmosphere, Can i still use my game carts that i still have?

Hi guys, I updated officially my untouched sysNAND while having AutoRCM enabled and obviously it was overwritten and disabled. Am I risking anything from a ban perspective? Could Nintendo have detected that I had AutoRCM on? Thanks in advance.

Considering no one has been banned for using AutoRCM alone, that is highly unlikely.

Anyone been banned for doing something like this?
Lets say you were on 9.0.1 using your stock sysNAND, no custom firmware.
Then you upgrade to 9.2.0 using nintendos servers on the stock sysNAND.
Then you restore to a 9.0.1 clean nand backup using hekate.
Then you upgrade from the 9.0.1 clean backup, back to 9.2.0 using nintendo servers.

Was a console ever banned for having an account on the same online family group as another account that hacked on a different console?

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    never had that i don't think

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
