Hacking Question Won't using SX get you banned?

[Miqote]

I'm not 100% sure how switch stuff works, but people have been talking about how each copy of a game has a private header/ID that's unique for however it was obtained (physical copy/downloaded from eShop). If someone posts a a backup with that header (which seems necessary), won't it be easy to ban everyone using that copy?

We don't know™.

 

[DaveLister]

A good educated guess would say most definitely as the carts have individual ids. With sx from TX we will be using a bitched out id thus very easy for them to see this at minimum.

honestly, its way too early to know right now. Hopefully, team xecuters chip will be on sale for a long while. I think once we have more information on what does and doesn't qualify as a ban we will have a lot more switch moders.

Early adopters will be useful as martyrs for those sitting on the sidelines waiting to see.

If you mod your console there is always a risk of being banned, be it atmosphere or tx

Just get two consoles and keep the hacked one offline.

Chances are yes. Though if you were to use a legit backup of a game you own you'd be safe from such a problem however you'll still likely get banned for using unauthorized software on your device. Simply put I feel you want to hack you risk loosing online play. This is nothing new...

Maybe

We don't know if using CFW of any kind will cause anyone to be banned. My gut tells me that TX is rushing out a product before there's a free alternative (Atmosphere) that makes their solution unnecessary, which means the time and effort needed to mitigate probable CFW-detection might be absent from TX's product. Aside from not using CFW at all, my gut also tells me that Atmosphere is the safer choice.

Considering that the main appeal of TX is their backup loader, buying another switch + some games would null the whole point of getting a TX product in the first place.

just dont go online untill someone decides to and see from there how things go

Everyone should expect a ban.

That normally doesn't help, if people are getting banned upon login.

atmosphere will not have a backup loader on launch, tx has the upper hand there because the devs hate piracy, their solution will not be obsolete even with atmosphere because a LOT of people want backups

You don't need a backup loader with Atmosphere. All you'll really need is a tool to install apps to the home menu, and that will be made within days.

yeah like the cia managers took days to make, some people are so funny

Well in all fairness we had dev menu before we even had a way to run it

I'm going to observe for a bit before using mine, but I think as long as you only go online with OFW and real carts you might be fine.

 

[tbb043]

Don't go online, no worry about bans.
