Gaming Question about CFW?

[r4izuk0]

My switched uses hakate and atmosphere. The question is if I hold the power button and power off the system completely, turn it on. Will I be back on non CFW and be able to go on the eshop and buy games, download updates and play online normally? Or will the eshop still see my system with CFW?

If you are using an EmuNAND then you will be back on your stock firmware. Whatever you do, don't use your SysNAND for homebrew as you can get instantly banned when going online.

Weird question, does the complete power off(not sleep mode) reboot bring the system back to stock firmware or SysNAND?

I said stock firmware.

When you turn off the console completely and then turn it on again brings you into the stock firmware (logically because you didn't send a payload to boot the cfw). For the case you don't have an emunand, your pirated games are still there, but you can't launch them. And when you go online without a dns block...BAM! Ban! That's why emunand is highly recommended.

you get instantly banned for piracy. not for homebrew when connected online

Actually, you get banned for both regardless.

But primarily nintendo bans for cheating online or piracy. Homebrew has a much much lower risk. But still it's a risk.

I’m a little confused about the sysnand and emunand.If i’m on stock firmware and go online(eshop or playing legit games) , will nintendo know my system is hacked?

 

[BaamAlex]

No. As long as you use an emunand, you're safe.

 

[r4izuk0]

No. As long as you use an emunand, you're safe.

How do I use emunand when i’m on stock firmware? I only that I can go get to it when I load the payload.

I got banned on a clean emunand for opening Tinfoil, it created the forwarder and that was seen by nintendo - boom, instant ban as soon as that happened.

You create an emunand via hekate for example.

Then you did something wrong somehow. I have an emunand with a lot of titles since over a year (or longer) and haven't been banned. All my legit stuff is in the ofw, the rest, emunand. And I had a lot homebrew forwarders installed.

Dude, I know what I did. I had a clean emunand untouched with nothing ever installed no logs or anything. I had freshly put in on my sd card. I clicked on tinfoil homebrew and it created a forwarder (I was on wifi at the time and forgot I had turned pi-hole off at the time which was set up to block ninty servers). As soon as I clicked on tinfoil I instantly got a banned error message.

That's what I meant with "something wrong".

 

[r4izuk0]

Now if I wanted to remove CFW completely and use the system with OFW like it was brand new, would I need to just reformat my SD card? I don’t think I backed up my nand(which I should’ve).

 

[BaamAlex]

No. You don't need to do that.

don't believe you've tested it out yourself. you're only relying on what others say. if you did tested it, you either got banned from piracy or used a malicious tool that sniffed your prodinfo. While there is some sort of "risk" for running homebrew, you can't say it gets you banned instantly if connected online. That is false. No ban is instant

Sounds like you didn't blank out your prodinfo or used 90dns
