Hacking Have you been banned? If so, post here. Wanna see if we can find the source of the problem.

Love that a ban stops you from accessing the eshop, thus preventing you potentially buying games in the future. It's almost like Nintendo doesn't want your money.

Ban from online gaming and trading sure, but not allowing you to buy games is rediculous.

No no no we still want your money but spend it on a new switch THEN buy your games, thanks for your continued service

People are focusing on CDN being the only cause of ban possibilties, but there can be numerous other ways that they can detect unauthorized system usage. It's like being in the middle of a forest and knowing that a ninja can attack you from any side. I honestly think being 100% safe is not really a possibility, Nintendo has much better security now. And they really love the Switch's success, they aren't gonna be dumb like before with the 3DS and Wiiu.

Personally I'm gonna get a switch and hack, even if it gets banned. In fact I may even intentionally buy a banned switch tablet and do whatever I want with it. I get to spend less money that way on a switch for hacks. At this point its a decision between hacks, or staying legit + online play. You can't expect to enjoy both. I'm choosing to go with hacks because the benefit is far greater than online play to me.

Really all ban does is take away eshop and online play, the only issue i see with this is if you want to play certain game cartridges, some may need updates, being banned could take that away from you. you may need to upgrade firmware as well. Not sure what an actual ban entails.

My guess would be its not related to cdn or console modding.. I reckon they suspected credit card fraud or some other payment related thing.

What the hell is CDN?

Content distribution network

"Nintendo account suspension/ban" could means to say goodbye to My Nintendo website and saves of "Animal Crossing Pocket Camp" and other similar apps

Does anybody know where on the nand the error logs are kept, might be a good idea to make a homebrew that deletes the error logs for homebrew that has crashed.

It's kinda a "fuck you", and understandable if your pirateing, if not, then yea, isnt nice, but also against tos to modify system (I think).

The Switch has a lot of telemetry, so I'd wait til we have a way to disable that. Always play offline too, just to be safe.

Homebrew isnt "illegal" per se, but ya, you're still breaking Nintendo ToS and it's probably something they dont want you doing to your Switch. I guess that entitles them to ban you if they want, even more so if you're doing something illegal with Homebrew

Ive been downloading from cdn lots and still not banned

There seems to be a lot of misinformation or misunderstandings of what being banned on Switch with this particular code entails. SQ said on Twitter that Splatoon 2 could still update. That leads me to believe it's like 3DS where eShop and game/firmware updates are still possible but you just can't access your friend list or online features in games.

Edit: Reading more tweets, looks like eshop is inaccessible but apps can still update.

From what I could gather from the RS Discord:

ogniK - 22:23
Its in erupts save data iirc
ogniK - 22:25
Mount the save data and just delete the files
Using pegaswitch

ogniK - 22:51
IFileSystem delete
ogniK - 22:52
You need to mount the save data n shit
ogniK - 22:52
You call fsp-srv#1 and you send the pid, then you call MountSaveData which will return an IFileSystem

Good to know! So that means you can still play games from carts that require updates, if this is true of course

ohhhhh you just wait!

Nintendo probably looking at the github of Atmosphere and waiting for its completion. Then BAM, they swing the ban hammer as far and wide as possible.

Also, I know a lot of people aren't on the latest firmware for various reasons. But how could you check if you're banned when you're on a lower firmware?

That's the thing about open-source, Nintendo can study the code and developed a way to detect CFW users.

I think Nintendo is more active in banning homebrew users who cheats online than pirates. Pirates didn't harm anybody, cheaters ruined the game for everyone online.

Has anyone in here used rohan, (3.0.0 pega) updated, and isn't banned online? The way I see it, few would have thus far, but many will in the coming months.

it could of led to the first 3DS ban wave but , the whole buisness of Switch blocking eShop, hmmm.. kinda strange how on the 3DS , ID/Account bans you still could access eShop. maybe w/ the explosion freeshop did to the 3DS this is why on the switch eShop access is Completely shut out?

Thanks for saying that which just gave me the BEST IDEA EVERR! YES YOU CAN ENJOY BOTH!

You said you have to either not go online and homebrew it, or go online and stay stock. There's another option you didn't consider. We can develop and run our own unsigned code now right? Well instead of having to worry about trying to clear any little trace they might detect you using homebrew and ban you for.

WE BUILD AND CREATE OUR OWN COMPETING HOMEBREW ONLINE SERVICE! AND 1 UP NINTENDO BY MAKING IT FREE INSTEAD OF $20 A YEAR! Re-implement the nintendo online syscalls in custom firmware to instead connect and communicate with our own custom online servers! Let's see who can create the best working netcode! Is it going to be the free and open source community, or will it be nintendo? Nothing wrong with a little friendly competiton!

Homebrew games as well could also call into the api to have online functionality working in a standard way!

Who's with me? HOMEBREW/BACKUPS ONLINE SERVICE!
