I have two profiles on my switch, one for legit games I bought and another for backups. I’m not banned yet. If I transfer my account that I only play legit games with to a second switch how high is the risk for the second switch to be banned? I ask because I have DLC tied to my legit profile and want to continue playing online with it.

I haven’t played any .nsp games on my old switch only .nsp dlc. I went online with CFW accidentally twice. I have a backup of my nand before I used homebrew of SXOS if that would help. Thanks.

Just know that nintendo will ban every switch that has the account on it. That's if they ever do ban you.

Don't listen to uninformed people

I had an untouched switch with the same account and both got banned

They are console bans. Having one account for OFW and one for CFW will do jack. The console will be banned and both accounts on the banned unit will be unable to access online.

Nintendo is banning consoles not Accounts
No shit lol
Do you even read
I.said Nintendo will ban all systems that have account. If you have 3 switches with the same account on them, even if only one switch is hacked and banned by Nintendo, the other 2 systems will be banned as well

That's COMPLETELY contradictory to every single ban report we've had thus far. According to every single ban report we've had thus far, Nintnedo bans SPECIFIC CERTS from SPECIFIC CONSOLES and only when SAID SPECIFIC CERTS begin behaving strangely(as in illegal CDN access, playing online with pirated backups, cheating/moding online etc etc). There hasn't been a SINGLE report of banned ACCOUNTS, only banned CONSOLES

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

They are console bans. Having one account for OFW and one for CFW will do jack. The console will be banned and both accounts on the banned unit will be unable to access online.

Pretty sure the OP is talking about transferring their account to a different console, not having two accounts on the same console

You’re such a fucking liar kid.

They ban based on console fingerprints not account associated with the device. Why else would they unlink your switch for you when the first one got banned
Allowing you to use your second one for all your purchases.

Please don’t spread misinformation

And community

please don’t listen to this liar

transferring to a second switch is safe if you arent already banned. I did it a few days ago.

You need to boot to OFW and load eshop and deacivate your account from the modded console. If you can do that your fine. Next go to system > User transfer your settings to the new switch

once that is done and you sign in to eshop on the new switch your account wont be tied to the modded switch.

IF your modded switch gets hit with a future ban it wont effect your second switch.

Funny how suddenly M$ looks decent for only banning your X360 that was modded back in the day. They wanted you to go buy a new one, sign right back into your XBL account and pay for that next installment of COD/HALO.

N has been so lax in their ticket/online stuff up until this generation. I agree....always make a clean account with a clean machine. Too many unkowns right now but within a few months we will either have stealth or ofw/cfw dual boot (emunand).

i was wondering about this as well, i have an account on my 1st switch that has splatoon 2 tied to it, was a digital purchase. now that the console is SuperBanned I want that legit copy of Splatoon 2 on my legit Switch. i also don't want to risk having 2 SuperBans though.

Nintendo only bans consoles, not accounts according to reports. So it should be safe for you to unlink your account from the banned switch and link it to the unbanned one

Yes and right after that, the OP states" If I transfer my account that I only play legit games with to a second switch"
I understand this, but it doesn't change the fact that having two accounts, one for CFW and one legit, on the same Switch, is completely pointless, as the Switch itself gets banned.

I just didn't want people to think they could be safe from a ban by creating a second account and using it for CFW on their original Switch :)

Also there is still a risk that when logging into the 'legit' account, even once, on a hacked unit, will log and send some sort of report to Nintendo. At which point you have a brand new Switch that gets hit with a ban in the next wave.

The only safe way is to never use a legit account, ever, on a hacked unit. Not even once. The legit account should be fully removed before any CFW is launched. Or a brand new account created on a new virgin unit.

    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

    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

    It does that when I edit a post.

    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
