Hello, I have two nintendo switches. One with sx pro and one that I plan to keep legit for online games.

I'm awaiting mhgx release and once thats out, I'm going to download a save file or edit a downloaded save. Now I'm going to do that on my sx pro console with a legit game cart while keeping the console offline.

I'm wondering if it's possible to download it to my sx pro switch while keeping it offline. Then to transfer that save file to my legit stock nintendo switch. Maybe I have to associate my nintendo account with it as well to transfer from my sx pro switch to my stock switch but is there any way to do this all offline? If it's possible then there should be no risk of ban to both consoles.

The SX one, and possibly the stock one.

The console gets flagged because the system still knows you are running cfw, and when you go online again it sends the systems logs to Nintendo, which then lets them see that you are using CFW and can ban you.
(I assume this is what happens, if not it is something similar)

Don't make assumptions and spread misinformation. It is 100% unknown how they are detecting things right now.

You're asking if you can load a modified save file into a legit switch and then play online/offline with it?

Is this a serious question?

If so, no you cannot. You need a way to load the save file onto the clean switch, the only way is via HB (as far as I know) and even if there was another way, your placing a dirty save onto a clean switch...super duper risky

Hello guys, I have almost the same problem, here's the situation :

- I have 2 clean brand new Switch
- I have a Zelda save (played with a cartridge that I bought) extracted with Checkpoint from another 3rd Switch using Atmosphere (always been offline)
- I want to have 1 clean switch to play online on which I have my Zelda save (too many hours invested ^^)

Here is what I plan to do, knowing that I absolutely don't care if Switch n°1 is banned but I want to keep Switch n°2 clean :

Solution 1 :
- Update Switch n°1 to 6.2.0, install Atmosphere and load Zelda save with Checkpoint
- Reboot to OFW and play Zelda with the cartridge and save again (don't know if that helps ??)
- Upload save to Nintendo Cloud
- Recover save on Switch n°2

Solution 2 :
- Update Switch n°1 to 6.2.0, install Atmosphere and load Zelda save with Checkpoint
- Reboot to OFW and play Zelda with the cartridge and save again (don't know if that helps ??)
- Transfer account from Switch n°1 to Switch n°2

What do you guys think about that ? Is there some datas in the save telling that it was played on a CFW (knowing again that I own the game) ?

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    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
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    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!
