Homebrew This might sound like a stupid question but can I get my switch unbanned?

it's probably theoretically possible, but I'm sure you'd need another switch to do it, just to get the certificate or whatever from it. don't know if the means for this exists as I don't pay attention to switch stuff.

I got my switch banned a year ago and I’m wondering if I can unban it.. can I?
Simple awnser no.

If you can get a donor switch you can using Exosphere and the nand from the donor switch. However its not easy... and it results in both switches being banned.

If you can get the nand biskeys and prodinfo from a switch which is broken You may have a chance (because the same switch can't exsist twice), also I don't think you can use nintendo's updater, they'll spot its not the right switch and ban both. Meaning you need to use daybreak to get the latest FW which means keeping a dirty sysnand (which is risky). It's also far harder than simply using cfw... and there's a chance you'll brick it.

Anything is possible once you figure it out.... but that doesn't mean we ever will ;)

YES, it is possible and this service has been offered in Brazil for quite some time.

An emunand is installed on your switch. But this emunand has a different prodinfo, I guess it is taken from broken consoles (the guy runs a repair shop).

So after that, you should only play original games on the emunand.

Pirated games and homebrew in general should be installed on the already banned sysnand.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
