Hacking Question SX OS

[Sinzah]

I am possibly thinking about getting SX OS. My son however plays Splatoon 2 online. Is this still possible? Even if it requires booting in to Horizon to do it. I'm just concerned about risk of a ban.

What I would probably do is have two separate SD cards. One for SX OS or Hekate and another for Horizon. What types of things would I have to stay away from that "could" get us banned?

buying a second switch is the only safe way tbh.

You need a new console to be safe. If you ever get banned, you can't unban your console. Also, the only real way of not being caught is staying offline. But logs are always sent when you are online, so it is really risky.

Yeah, that's kind of what I was afraid of. We'd probably get one eventually anyways.

Online?

 

[Kubas_inko]

Online?

yea. Gonna repair that.

Online?

PSVita sent and received data while in Airplane mode, Switch can do the same. You need to delete all your wifi information and/or block all Nintendo's traffic from your router

I blocked my switch via router so its all good. And really??? wtf? my vita never did that either. Always had it near wifi and had airplane mode on. I havent had my switch connect to my router once so far. The internet portion is blocked.

You could probably sell your banned switch and get a new one (minor $ loss?) I guess though, you’d have to find an exploitable one.

BS. The FAA would have Nintendo's ass.

That's some wishful thinking...

Are you suggesting that the Switch secretly turns on it's WiFi radio and connects to your saved access point while in airplane mode?

Why can’t he? Sometimes, my phone reboots itself. Only in the middle on the night. When I grab my phone the first of the day, I’m asked to input my password to unlock my phone. It only does this when it reboots, that’s how I know. Electronic toggles are funny sometimes.

Team Xecutor says next SX OS update will have some kind of ban-proof technique, but damn me if I know how actually useful it'll be in the end.

He can suggest whatever he wants. I'm trying to clarify because the claim that the Switch secretly enables the WiFi radio is extraordinary. I'm pretty sure that would be a violation of federal law. Your phone doing random reboots is irrelevant. We're not talking about a glitch here. We are talking about a literal, undocumented feature.

It's a big button that says "this is all that can be done" and it deletes your internet settings

Not damn me?

nah, they can auto-clear logs at very least. Damn anybody if anybody knows how effective it would be tho.

Perhaps you're confused...? That's not airplane mode if the device is making wireless communications.
