These questions have probably been asked over 300 times already however, I am still weary about modding my switch.
If I get banned, it's whatever but I'd like to avoid that if possible.

My asked over 100 times questions are:
  • Can Nintendo detect the modchip installed on the switch? (I've heard of sysNAND and emuNAND but not really sure what they are about)
  • Is there currently any way to get things like Steam Link on the modded switch?
  • I've seen threads mentioning "Genuine boot" removing modifications by burning fuses. What does this mean and does it help combat being banned?
  • Is it ok to update the Nintendo switch once the modchip has been done?

  • Yes
  • No
  • "Genuine boot" is meant to mimic the way the console normally boots. This only helps if you have never ran CFW or homebrew as those leave traces on your console
  • Yes but this will irreversibly burn fuses. Fuses only really matter with Erista units however

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
