How bad are the chances of getting banned from using this save editor for an off-line game?

I want to keep my switch clean until we have a more mature and secure scene (still haven't hacked my console), but I'm seriously considering using this to save 50 hours of my life. I just need it to hack a crapton of core crystals and a couple of overdrive protocols... that's all.

My OCD got the best of me with this game... and I really want to be done with it to never touch it again.
 
For those who can't seem to edit the legendary core count, there was a little mistake in the code. You can find the correct .exe attached to my post (and I've submitted a pull request on Github too @Type_O_Dev )

Thank you, I merged your changes.
If there are more offsets wanted please let me know. So I can add to final project

It would be extremely hard to get banned with this editor as we are not hacking code. We are only editing for items, stats. We are not changing characters and hacking game

But isn't the stuff that is needed to just get the save off the console enough to get us banned? Because it is an illegal program.

For what I understand, no. What we do right now is undetectable by the console, the only persons that got banned were those who blatantly cheated on online games (dumb thing to do), or those who used their console certs to download directly from Nintendo servers

We are not running the tool on console.
This would be no different from sharing a save, there is no checksums I have heard about that compare saves to actual game play.

The bans being issued were from people accessing N shop servers and download titles not purchased

Is there an updated compiled .exe file for the editor?

Awesome, I thought Checkpoint (how I get my saves off my console) itself still had a change of getting people banned.
 
What did you set it to
I am also getting an error every time I try to edit a value. (was using 99 and 9999999).
