Plz help new to switch hacks
Here are my questions
1. Would I get banned if I dump my own cart and cert and reinstall it with goldleaf?
2. I can’t seem to open a completely pirated copy of Mario party and I get a message saying that I didn’t buy it, how do I open it

1. Would I get banned if I dump my own cart and cert and reinstall it with goldleaf?

Probably, yes. If you're going to do hackery of any kind, you should keep your system offline. Alternatively, you could use an offline emuNAND for all hackery while keeping your online sysNAND clean.

2. I can’t seem to open a completely pirated copy of Mario party and I get a message saying that I didn’t buy it, how do I open it

You cannot use pirated games unless you are running CFW like Atmosphere. If you are using Atmosphere, you also need these signature patches: https://gbatemp.net/threads/i-heard-that-you-guys-need-some-sweet-patches-for-atmosphere.521164/

3. How would I dump my own games

Use this application: https://gbatemp.net/threads/nxdumptool-nintendo-switch-dump-tool.508343/
