Been using EMUNAND for offline pirated and a 100% clean SYSNAND for stock online gaming for months.
However, since Pokemon Scarlet/Violet, I've been running the original cartridge in SYSNAND mode for the overclock (it helps a lot since the game performs so poorly)
I've played it online a few days, and since I had a clean SYSNAND, everything was ok.
PROBLEM IS:
I just completely forgot I was on SYSNAND and opened tinfoil and intalled a game this afternoon.
I realized the mistake and deleted it a few minutes later, and haven't connected to Nintendo after this.
Fact is, I know it's a guaranteed well placed ban the next time I connect online, so I'm gonna try a clean NAND restore through hekate (I have a backup on my PC)
I know it's not guaranteed to avoid the ban, but it's the best I've got, I think.
Any tips to avoid any flagging, from anyone who tried and succeeded avoiding the ban?
> Already deleted the previous "Nintendo" folder from the SD card, so that the restored sysnand find no traces of the dirty one.
> Backed up my Pokemon Violet save using JKSV
> backup already on the SD card and waiting to go.
> backup was made on firmware 13.1, and I'm running 15.1 now (might have a problem with that?)
Wish me luck!
(will post aftermath on the next few days from tomorrow on)
UPDATE:
Seems it worked!
For anyone interested, this is what I've done:
> Restored the clean nand backup through hekate
> Booted into sysnand (incognito) and updated my OFW from 13.1 to 15.1 via AOI updater (thought it was safer through here than via official Nintendo firmware update, since I had already updated once it would look suspicious to update again)
> Installed Pokemon Violet original cartridge again (still on incognito sysnand)
> Booted in the OFW and updated the game
> Booted into Sysnand incognito again, and restored my save through JKSV. Played for a while, overwrited the backup save via common game saving
> Booted into OFW again, took a deep long breath, and connected online. WORKS (eshop, online playing, etc etc)
Hope it wasn't flagged somehow, but I guess we'll soon know about that.
Will post again in a few days.
Any tips regarding the subject would still be appreciated!
