Hi People,

Im in need of some advice advice about switch hacking

I have a switch from last year June. I have a lot of e-shop games bought and ofcourse a lot of retail games. My switch runs on the latest firmware. In the past I did manage to use fusee gelee and made a nand backup. But then I stopped, reinstall everything and havent touched the hacking scene since for the switch. Seeing the R4S dongle and the REINX im temped to try again.

So what do I want to do:
Only emulation and backups, I don't want to pirate games, I rather buy them and support developers.

So some of my questions:
If I install REINX , can I return to my normal NAND so I can go online and use the E-shop? How does that work if possible?

What do you guys recommend to do?

Thanks in advanced ( Hope my English is ok!)

Would you hack it if theres even a slight chance to get banned? If no i'd say dont hack or buy a second switch for hacking.

You won't be able to go online since the switch tracks everything and will send the data to nintendo and ban you as soon as you go online with it in Stock Firmware

Not true. I am an example where ninty just won't ban me :D
Wasn't banned on 3ds and not still banned on Switch (I was cheating in online with 3ds and going online with Switch while having CFW). So, you might get banned, but it depends on how you do it. Going online on stock FW can be safe...

Same. I was cheating online in a few 3ds games, and I've been online with cfw more than a few times. I'm not banned on either console. As long as you do your research and your careful, you may not get banned. Ofc, ImI fully prepared for a ban, and tbh iim surprised they haven't banned me yet

Please don't let me have jinxed it

Ok you are true.
Let's say: The will ban you very likely. If you are just using the Homebrew Launcher you won't get banned directly (But it's still posible) but if you are playing online with Backup then you'll be banned very likely

How it's not: You hack your Switch and ever go online you will get banned.
How it is: You hacked your Switch, so there is a possibility that even on stock FW you might get banned, but it is very unlikely. On CFW, yea sure, that's your stupidity.
EU: If you disable telemetry, you might be somewhat safe (that's the case with me...)

Thanks for your reply,

So how is it possible that even on stock FW there is a chance you get banned? Is there a possibility to go to stock firmware ( and go online buying your stuff) even if you installed REINX?

Because
1. If you installed a game and update it on stock FW, they probably can check whether or not a game is yours (or if it belongs to console at all).
2. Error logs
3. Maybe other logs??? Don't know.

Best thing to do is to backup your NAND before "hacking" your switch and when you want to go online, just reflash it back to the "safe" state. That's the safest thing right now.

Hahaha I know, believe me I've been doing that my college years back in the days ( FTP hacking, FXP scene, Warez scene, Newsgroups ,etc ) But the thing is if you have so many "free games" it loses its value..and beyond that I would rather support the developer if its a good game to just pay for it. Playing emulation games is just because I don't own old systems anymore and still want to relive those days..and well the switch is a handy portable devices to play those games on it..if I wanted to...but I don't want to risk a ban because I spend a lot of money on games I like :) And well..most "free games" are not so free as you think..build in hacks / viruses and other stuff :)

    they need to have a strong line up on the launch titles too. I think they should move metroid prime 4 to the next console because by now it has been quite a while and there's no release date scheduled yet
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/ntdoy/market-cap/ I think they'll be alright

    lol there's a guy selling mig switch in usa on ebay for $200/ea he's definitely going to get nailed with dmca by tomorrow
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    Wasn't Metroid Prime 4 teased all the way back in 2017? For the switch no less?
    :rofl2:
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    Pretty sure anyone buying the switch just for that got duped
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    for $200? rofl.
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    well as far as metroid prime 4 is concerned, the next system probably is similar enough to the current gen they can probably easily just slap it onto a next gen cart and call it good :P
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The switch was about 350 in 2017

    Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima took the stage at the outset to reveal that Switch will launch globally on March 3, 2017 for $299.99—earlier than some had expected at the price many suspected. https://time.com/4632820/nintendo-switch-nx/
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    The NES launched at like 250 and the rob and light gun kit was like 350 or something

    I was near the test market for the NES and man did it make my 2600 look like ass lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    There has to be some mutual agreement with them all anything over $600 is just pc territory
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    next system rumored to launch at $400
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    but I don't really believe any rumors yet

    need to have official info from N
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    The 3DO and Neo Geo where like 700 bucks hmm the PS3 was stupid expensive at launch lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But at least the PS3 was only 500 for the cheapest one at launch
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    My opinion is that 199.99 is the sweet spot but that spot is long gone lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just played some Micheal Jackson Moonwalker.... Those poor parents trying desperately to protect their children
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    400 is a decent sweet spot if we get enough out of it
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's not like how it was when we were locked down to a few options and that's it
