Hacking Will Fusee Gelee prevent me from using my Switch normally?

[ZipZup]

I'll probably get downvoted for asking such a simple question (couldn't find a straight answer) and being pro piracy, but can anyone please let me know if this is what Fusee Gelee will enable? Will I be able to pirate games on it?

I intend to pirate to try games out and buy the ones I really like as well as buy some multiplayer games, will Fusee Gelee prevent me from going online, updating Switch firmware and generally using my Switch the 'right' way?

I have the latest firmware

There is no downvote
And, yes, you will be able to pirate games...
Atmosphere won't prevent you from going online, but Nintendo might do it.
You can use your switch normally with Atmosphere.

Thank you! What do you mean "Nintendo might do it?" Can I just "disable" Atmosphere if I want to be extra safe playing online?

Well a cfw can let you play backups of "your games" , the point of fusee is install a custom fireware (cfw), teorically with that you can play online and whatever you want to do. But the problem is that we dont know if Nintendo will ban us or not from online in the future, if we install a cfw like 3ds
i just want play emulators and gc games etc

I mean BAN.
And Atmosphere (if I understand it correctly) is going to be like EmuNAND, so you can boot to your normal SysNAND, which have to be on supported FW, or to your EmuNAND which is probably going to be on higher FW. So, if you SysNAND is to low, you might not be able to use it.
But I highly doubt that Nintendo will ban you just for using EmuNAND. But we don't know anything about their ban hammer for Switch yet, so we can just hope .

Thanks for the responses. I guess I'll just wait and see. Would be ok with buying a second Switch just for CFW if needed

It is not a bad idea . I have mine 4.1.0 and 1.0.0 so, yes, go ahead a buy one.

I think Nintendo will be a lot harder with bans that they did on the 3DS. I think they will ban without giving a reason if you run a CFW now, not just for online gameplay.

Fusee Gelee will not enable piracy. Atmosphere NX will not enable piracy. Nintendo will almost certainly ban a lot of people.

Those are the only facts we have right now.

playing backups is on the same level as piracy. Both allow playing copies of games.

Which Atmosphere on its own doesn't allow you to do. It doesn't prevent it, but it's not baked into the firmware

That's debatable...

It will allow you to run ncas (or idk how is cia type app called on switch), so it does.

Why would the Sysnand be lower FW than the Emunand, shouldn´t they be on the same FW?

I was also wandering, like the OP, if there´s going to be a way to go online "legally" to play games like smash. Will athmosphere be detectable by nintendo?? can it be "turned off" when going online??

Because SysNAND needs to be on supported FW, to run the exploit to run EmuNAND (at least that's how I think it works).

Wait, is that confirmed? I haven't seen anything in that vein discussed

That is the only real reason to make CFW/EmuNAND. What would it be used for otherwise?

A CFW lacking features to install custom applications really isn't a CFW at all, yeah? Ignoring piracy, i'm 100% sure there will be A. some way to run unofficial apps and B. some way to install them, and that = piracy.

 

[Kioku]

CFW inevitably leads to piracy. Yes, your "backups" of the entire SNES library counts. You're only fooling yourself if you think otherwise.

Uh. Loading homebrew and having an updated NAND? If there's no title installer released with Atmosphere, then it doesn't natively support title installation. SciresM has gone on record saying that piracy is not the motivator behind the release of Atmosphere
