I admit this is likely a dumb question, but I couldn't find an answer and got no reply when I asked elsewhere. I recently bought a used Switch to hack to run homebrew so I could keep my main Switch stock. This Switch is strictly for offline use and in fact does not have an active Wi Fi connection set up. I also, as far as I know, am running it strictly in emuNAND
I decided to try dumping one of my physical games just to see if it would work, and it did. However, I forgot to remove the certificate during the dumping process and am now concerned that I will be banned if I run the game card in my other Switch. I loaded the game for a moment or two on the hacked Switch when I tested the dump, but again I did not-and because of my set up, could not- connect online, and furthermore I deleted the dump of the game immediately afterward.
My main questions are:
1. Since I never took the game online before the dump was deleted, is it safe to play the physical copy in my main Switch, online included, and
2. Does a game card have a way of telling Nintendo it's been dumped outside of the certificate being used or shared elsewhere?
